Keep valve timing responding on cue on your 2006-2007 Subaru B9 Tribeca with the Walker Products Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid 590-1081. This OE-replacement variable valve timing solenoid regulates the flow of pressurized oil to the cam phaser or VVT sprocket, adjusting valve timing in response to real-time engine load and speed.
- OE Replacement Calibration: Matches the original electrical specs, oil-flow rate, and response timing for precise engine control.
- Controls Camshaft Timing: Actuates oil flow to the VVT sprocket, allowing valve timing to be optimized for power, fuel economy, and emissions.
- Built for Harsh Environments: Heat-tolerant housing and oil-resistant seals engineered to hold up under constant engine operation.
- Exact OE Fit: Installs using factory connectors and mounting points with no modification required.
Over time a solenoid can clog, stick open or closed, or fail electrically—triggering fault codes (e.g., P0010–P0014, P0020–P0024), rough idle, hesitation, or reduced power. If a failed VVT solenoid is the cause of your timing-related drivability issue, this unit replaces it and restores control of the camshaft phasing system.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Walker Products 590-1081 VVT solenoid do?
It regulates the flow of pressurized oil to the cam phaser or VVT sprocket, adjusting valve timing based on real-time engine load and speed for control of power, fuel economy, and emissions.
What vehicles does the 590-1081 fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2006-2007 Subaru B9 Tribeca. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-specific details and to confirm fitment for your vehicle.
What are the signs a VVT solenoid may need replacing?
A failing solenoid can clog, stick open or closed, or fail electrically, which may trigger fault codes such as P0010–P0014 or P0020–P0024, rough idle, hesitation, or reduced power.
Is this an OE replacement solenoid?
Yes. Walker Products builds this VVT solenoid to meet or exceed OE specifications for electrical response, oil flow control, and pressure regulation.
Does the 590-1081 require modification to install?
No. It installs using the factory connectors and mounting points with no modification required. Diagnose the cause of your timing fault before replacing the solenoid.
