ACDelcoIntroduces Longest-Lasting
VVT Solenoidfor GM Vehicles
Re-designed solenoid lasts twice as long as closest competitor
GRAND BLANC, Mich. –ACDelco, the true General Motorsoriginal equipment replacement parts brand, has announced the introduction of the aftermarket’s longest lasting variable valve timing (VVT) solenoids for GM vehicles.
The intake and exhaust solenoids, recently re-designed by GM engineers, last twice as long as the closest competitor and will be available for purchase at the start of the fourth quarter for 2006-2017 vehicles equipped with the 2.0L, 2.2L and 2.4L Ecotec engines.
GM first installed VVT technology in 2002, and today it is used on nearly allnew GMvehiclesto maximize performance, fuel economy and emissions.
VVT solenoids are responsible for changing the position of the camshaft to provide optimal power delivery based on driving conditions. Signs that a VVT solenoid is beginning to fail can include check engine light on the dash, rough engine idle and a decrease in fuel economy. Dirty oil can also increase wear on a VVT solenoid, so it is important to follow the recommended oil change interval.
“Providing independent repair shops with aGM OE-quality solenoid is criticalbecause tens of millions of vehicles on the road today use VVT technology,” saidBill Miller, valve train technical specialist, General Motors.”Beingable to offer a long-lasting part that will fit right the first time will make a huge difference in terms of customer satisfaction.”
The new VVT solenoid features an improved designthat can better withstand thermal expansion - resulting in a unit that lasts twice as long as the closest competitor.
The VVT solenoidis one ofthe latest additions to the growing number of GM OE parts from ACDelco that are becoming available to the independent aftermarket. This year alone, ACDelco has introduced 1,264 OE part numbers across 10 different product lines and 2,700 since 2014.
