Kolbenschmidt 50056118 Variable Valve Timing VVT Sprocket Cam Phaser

The Kolbenschmidt 50056118 is a replacement Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Sprocket, also commonly referred to as a cam phaser or VVT actuator. Engineered to OEM standards, this sprocket is designed to restore precise camshaft timing control and reliable valvetrain operation.

A VVT sprocket is a toothed wheel mounted on the camshaft that works in conjunction with the VVT solenoid and oil pressure system to advance or retard camshaft timing. This dynamic adjustment of intake and exhaust valve events helps optimize engine performance across the RPM range, improves fuel efficiency, and reduces exhaust emissions.
