Product Information
Actuator Camshaft / VVT Solenoid – Porsche Cayenne 955 S /
Turbo (2005>>)
OEM ref: 94810530407
This camshaft actuator (variable valve timing / VVT
solenoid) controls the oil flow to the camshaft adjuster, allowing the engine
ECU to advance or retard cam timing. On Porsche Cayenne 955 S and Turbo models
from 2005 onwards, a healthy actuator is essential for smooth power delivery,
good fuel economy and clean emissions.

Why these should be replaced
Over time the original actuator is exposed to hot engine
oil, varnish deposits and general wear. This can cause the internal valve to
stick or slowdown, which means the cam timing can no longer be adjusted
correctly. Replacing tired actuators:
Restores
correct camshaft timing and engine performance
Improves
throttle response and mid-range torque
Helps
cure rough idle and hesitation under load
Can
reduce fuel consumption and emissions
Prevents
further damage to camshaft adjusters and associated components
On many Cayenne V8 engines, Porsche and independent
specialists recommend replacing faulty VVT solenoids in pairs (one per cylinder
bank) to ensure balanced timing and avoid repeat labour costs.
Common issues / symptoms of a failing camshaft actuator
Typical signs that this part needs replacement include:
Check
Engine Light with camshaft timing faults (e.g. “camshaft position –
timing over-advanced/retarded”)
Rough
idle, misfires or stalling, especially when hot
Flat
spots or loss of power in the low–mid rev range
Poor
fuel economy compared with normal
Rattling
/ ticking on start-up if the timing cannot be adjusted correctly
Fault
codes relating to Variable Valve Timing (VVT) solenoid / camshaft
actuator
If these symptoms are present and other basic checks (oil
level/quality, wiring, connectors) are OK, the camshaft actuator is a prime
suspect.
