Keep valve timing dialed in as engine loads change with the Walker Products Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid 590-1083. This OE-replacement variable valve timing solenoid installs as a direct-fit replacement on many vehicles, among them the 2010-2013 Subaru Forester, 2010-2014 Subaru Impreza, and 2010-2012 Subaru Legacy — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine-specific coverage.
The solenoid regulates the flow of pressurized oil to the cam phaser or VVT sprocket, adjusting valve timing in response to real-time driving conditions to help support fuel efficiency, throttle response, and emissions across varying engine loads and speeds.
- OE Replacement Calibration: Matches original electrical specs, oil-flow rate, and response timing for precise engine control.
- Built for Harsh Environments: Heat-tolerant housing and oil-resistant seals stand up to constant engine operation.
- Exact OE Fit: Installs using factory connectors and mounting points with no modification required.
- Addresses Timing-Related Faults: If a sticking or failed solenoid is the cause, replacing it helps clear fault codes (e.g., P0010–P0014, P0020–P0024), rough idle, hesitation, or reduced power.
Over time VVT solenoids can clog, stick open or closed, or fail electrically — signs this part may need replacing. Diagnose the cause before replacing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Walker 590-1083 VVT solenoid do?
It regulates pressurized oil flow to the cam phaser or VVT sprocket, adjusting valve timing based on real-time driving conditions to help support fuel efficiency, throttle response, and emissions.
Which vehicles does the 590-1083 fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 2010-2013 Subaru Forester, 2010-2014 Subaru Impreza, and 2010-2012 Subaru Legacy. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine-specific coverage.
What are common signs a VVT solenoid may need replacing?
Solenoids can clog, stick open or closed, or fail electrically, which may set fault codes such as P0010–P0014 or P0020–P0024 and cause rough idle, hesitation, or reduced power. Diagnose the cause first.
Will I need to modify anything to install it?
No. It installs using the factory connectors and mounting points with no modification required.
Does replacing this solenoid fix a check engine light?
If a sticking or failed VVT solenoid is the cause of the code, replacing it addresses that source. Other faults can trigger the same symptoms, so diagnose before replacing.
