Genuine Ford EcoSport 1.5L VVT Solenoid, 2018–2021 – GN1Z6M280A

VVT solenoid (Engine Variable Timing Solenoid) is part of the variable valve timing system in the Ford EcoSport 1.5 engine. It responds to signals from the ECU and regulates engine oil flow to the camshaft actuator to adjust valve timing for different driving conditions.

Over time, the solenoid may become clogged with oil deposits or develop a faulty coil, making camshaft timing adjustments less accurate. This may cause rough engine operation, reduced power, increased fuel consumption or the engine warning light to come on.

This is a genuine Ford part, part number GN1Z6M280A, for 2018–2021 Ford EcoSport models with a 1.5 engine, according to the supplied fitment information.
