Gates Camshaft Control Valve (VVS172)

Many vehicles are equipped with variable valve timing (VVT) systems which optimize engine performance, improving fuel economy and reducing emissions. This Gates Camshaft Control Valve (VVS172) electronically controls the flow of pressured oil to and from the camshaft actuator to either advance or reduce timing.

When the valve is clogged, has malfunctioned or failed, the VVT system will not work at optimal performance or is otherwise inefficient. This may result in poor engine performance, an illuminated check engine light, poor fuel economy and increased emissions.

To restore the system to proper performance, complete your repair with Gates’ OE quality camshaft adjustment control valves that have been designed and manufactured with high quality materials for maximum durability and reliable performance.
