Keep camshaft timing responding the way it should with the Walker Products VVT Solenoid 590-1185, an OE-replacement component designed to regulate oil flow to the camshaft phasing system for precise valve timing control. It is listed for many models from Volkswagen and Audi, among them the 2018-2019 Volkswagen Jetta, 2014 Volkswagen Passat and 2015-2018 Volkswagen Golf. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
This variable valve timing solenoid directs pressurized oil to the cam phaser or VVT sprocket, letting the engine adjust valve timing to real-time driving conditions. By changing valve timing across different engine loads and speeds, the system supports fuel efficiency, throttle response and emissions control. Over time a solenoid can clog, stick open or closed, or fail electrically. Any of these can set fault codes such as P0010–P0014 or P0020–P0024 and bring rough idle, hesitation or reduced power. Other faults can cause the same signs, so diagnose the cause first. If the solenoid is the cause, this unit replaces it.
- Controls camshaft timing: Actuates oil flow to the VVT sprockets so valve timing can be optimized for power, fuel economy and emissions.
- OE-replacement calibration: Designed to match the original electrical specs, oil flow rate and response timing. It is built to OE specifications for electrical response, oil flow control and pressure regulation.
- Exact OE fit: Installs using the factory connectors and mounting points, with no modification required.
- Built for the engine bay: A heat-resistant plastic housing, precision-machined internal valves, oil-sealed connectors and oil-resistant seals are made to handle constant engine operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Walker Products 590-1185 VVT solenoid do?
It controls the flow of pressurized oil to the cam phaser or VVT sprocket. This lets the engine adjust valve timing to driving conditions for power, fuel economy and emissions.
What are signs a VVT solenoid may need replacing?
A clogged, sticking or electrically failed solenoid can set codes such as P0010–P0014 or P0020–P0024 and cause rough idle, hesitation or reduced power. Other faults cause these too, so diagnose the cause first.
Does it fit the 2018-2019 Volkswagen Jetta?
Yes. It is listed for the 2018-2019 Volkswagen Jetta, the 2014 Volkswagen Passat and the 2015-2018 Volkswagen Golf. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section for every listed model and engine.
Does installation require any modification?
No. It is designed to install using the factory connectors and mounting points with no modification required. Follow the vehicle service information for the procedure.
How is this VVT solenoid constructed?
It has a heat-resistant plastic housing, precision-machined internal valves, oil-sealed connectors and oil-resistant seals, designed to handle constant engine operation.
