Dorman 916-880 Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid
Dorman 916-880 VVT Solenoid Overview
The Dorman 916-880 engine variable valve timing solenoid is a standard replacement part built to match the original solenoid’s fit and function. It uses a 12-volt electromagnetic design with a plug-and-socket connector for direct replacement service on select Audi and Volkswagen applications.
Built with a plastic housing and tested for proper performance, this VVT solenoid is made for dependable operation in engines that use oil-pressure-controlled valve timing. It is a practical choice for Audi A4, Audi Q5, Volkswagen Tiguan, and other listed models that require an oil-pan-mounted variable valve timing solenoid.
Key Features
- Standard replacement engine variable valve timing solenoid
- 12-volt electromagnetic activation
- Plastic housing with male plug-and-socket connector
- 2-terminal electrical connection, 1 connector
- Precision-engineered to match original fit and function
- Tested for proper performance before release
- Part number 916-880 for easy identification
Detailed Product Description
Dorman 916-880 is an OE-style replacement VVT solenoid for engines that rely on variable valve timing control to manage cam timing through oil pressure. The solenoid is engineered for the same installation profile and electrical interface as the original unit, helping restore proper timing control on supported Audi and Volkswagen vehicles. This part cross-references INA US VV1035 for the same application.
Compatible applications include Fits 2021-2023 Audi A4, At Oil Pan; Fits 2021-2023 Audi Q5, At Oil Pan; Fits 2021-2023 Volkswagen Tiguan, At Oil Pan; and Fits 2019-2023 Volkswagen Jetta, At Oil Pan. Additional coverage includes many Audi A3, A5, A6, Q7, RS3, S3, TT Quattro, and Volkswagen Arteon, Atlas, Golf R, Passat, and Teramont listings shown in the fitment data. Use part number 916-880 to confirm the correct engine variable valve timing solenoid for your vehicle.
What This Part Helps Address
- Rough idle related to unstable valve timing control
- Check engine light tied to VVT solenoid circuit or performance faults
- Delayed or inconsistent cam timing response
- Oil-pan-mounted solenoid failure on listed Audi and Volkswagen engines
- Loss of engine efficiency caused by improper variable valve timing operation
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the connector style, terminal count, and mounting location before installation. This solenoid uses a male plug-and-socket electrical connector and is listed for oil-pan-mounted applications, including some entries marked “solenoid only.” Confirm the exact year, make, model, and engine configuration against the fitment data before replacing the original unit.
For best results, inspect the connector, wiring, and surrounding oil passages during service. If the original fault was caused by contamination or oil-related debris, address the underlying condition before installing the replacement solenoid.
Quality Assurance
Dorman manufactures this replacement VVT solenoid as a standard replacement part and tests it for proper performance. The design uses quality materials intended for long service life and consistent operation in supported Audi and Volkswagen engine applications.
