Restore precise valve timing control with the Walker Products Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid 590-1185. This OE Replacement solenoid regulates the flow of pressurized oil to the cam phaser or VVT sprocket, adjusting valve timing to real-time driving conditions to support fuel efficiency, throttle response, and emissions. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for dozens of 2013-2019 Audi and Volkswagen L4-1.8L and L4-2.0L applications — including the Audi A4, A5 Quattro, A6, Q5 and Volkswagen GTI, Golf, Beetle and Passat — using the factory connector and mounting points with no modification.
- Controls camshaft timing: Actuates oil flow to the VVT sprocket/cam phaser to adjust valve timing for power, fuel economy, and emissions.
- OE Replacement calibration: Matches the original electrical specs, oil-flow rate, and response timing for precise engine control.
- Durable build: Heat-resistant plastic housing, precision-machined internal valves, and oil-sealed connectors for long-term engine operation.
- Direct-fit connection: A 2-terminal male spade connector (single female, oblong, black connector) with three mounting holes.
Over time these solenoids can clog, stick open or closed, or fail electrically. If a failed solenoid is the cause of a rough idle, hesitation, reduced power, or VVT fault codes (P0010–P0014, P0020–P0024), this unit replaces it — diagnose the cause before replacing. Quantity varies by engine and application; several listed vehicles use two solenoids while others use one, and this listing is for a single solenoid. Country of origin: China.
