Walker Products 590-1205 VVT solenoid for the 2012-2016 Volvo S60 5-cylinder 2.5L and other vehicles regulates oil flow to the camshaft phasing system. As a variable valve timing solenoid, it adjusts valve timing to driving conditions, which supports fuel efficiency, throttle response and emissions.
- Heat-tolerant plastic housing and oil-resistant seals for constant engine operation
- Precision-machined internal valves for oil flow control and pressure regulation
- Actuates oil flow to the VVT sprockets to set valve timing for power, fuel economy and emissions
- Helps clear check engine lights, poor idle or drivability problems caused by a sticking or failed solenoid
Quick facts
- Part: Walker Products 590-1205 VVT solenoid
- Also called: variable valve timing solenoid
- Fits: 2012-2016 Volvo S60 5-cylinder 2.5L and other vehicles
- Position: Intake
- Condition: New
Over time a solenoid can clog, stick open or closed, or fail electrically, which can bring fault codes, rough idle, hesitation or reduced power. These signs alone do not prove the solenoid is at fault, since low or dirty engine oil can cause them as well.
Fits
The 2012-2016 Volvo S60 5-cylinder 2.5L, the 2016 Volvo S60 Cross Country 5-cylinder 2.5L and the 2015-2016 Volvo V60 5-cylinder 2.5L each take one, and this solenoid fits many other Volvo models too. Its electrical response, oil flow control and pressure regulation are engineered to meet or exceed OE specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this Volvo S60 VVT solenoid fit a 2012-2016 Volvo S60 5-cylinder 2.5L?
Yes. Walker Products 590-1205 fits the 2012-2016 Volvo S60 5-cylinder 2.5L and many other Volvo models, so look up your own car in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
What kind of connector does the Walker Products 590-1205 have?
Walker Products 590-1205 has one black, oblong, female connector with two male pin terminals, plus one mounting hole.
Which fault codes can go with a failing VVT solenoid?
Codes P0010–P0014 and P0020–P0024 can appear when a solenoid clogs, sticks open or closed, or fails electrically. A shop can test the circuit and the solenoid.
Does this VVT solenoid need any modification to install?
No. It installs using the factory connectors and mounting points, with no modification required.
How does the intake VVT solenoid adjust valve timing?
It controls the flow of pressurized oil to the cam phaser or VVT sprocket. That changes valve opening angles to suit engine load and speed.
