Standard Motor Products VVT216 Variable Valve Timing Solenoid

The Standard Motor Products VVT216 is a direct-fit replacement Variable Valve Timing (VVT) solenoid engineered to restore proper engine operation in vehicles equipped with VVT or Variable Cam Timing (VCT) systems. Variable valve timing systems are responsible for optimizing engine performance, improving fuel economy, and reducing emissions — making a high-quality replacement solenoid critical to maintaining proper engine health.

Key Features:

• Direct-fit OE replacement restores engine horsepower and torque curves while reducing emissions and improving vehicle efficiency
• Hard anodized steel componentry limits sticking during sludge buildup for a longer service life compared to standard aftermarket alternatives
• Solid one-piece valve body prevents the internal spring from coming loose during operation
• Welded steel oil screens provide durability and optimized lubrication flow
• Oil check valve prevents backflow that can delay solenoid response
• Premium O-rings and gaskets help prevent premature oil leaks where applicable
• 100% end-of-line tested to meet or exceed OE performance standards
• Engineered and validated at SMP's IATF 16949-certified manufacturing facility

VVT solenoids commonly fail due to low engine oil levels or infrequent oil and filter changes. When replacing the VVT216, it is recommended to perform a fresh engine oil and filter change to ensure optimal solenoid performance and longevity. The Standard Motor Products VVT216 integrates precisely with the vehicle's powertrain control module (PCM) to maintain commanded camshaft angles with minimal correction, helping your engine run exactly as the manufacturer intended.
