An exact part number can make a Hyundai or Kia intake CVVT enquiry much easier, but it still needs to be connected to the vehicle and the diagnosed fault. Reference 24350-2E201 is the focus of this guide. RunningRoo lists this component as an intake camshaft gear for selected applications. It should not be treated as a universal replacement for every Hyundai or Kia engine described as having variable valve timing.
Start with the RunningRoo intake CVVT gear 24350-2E201 and its corresponding RunningRoo eBay listing. Before ordering, send the VIN, installed engine code, OE reference and workshop diagnosis. RunningRoo is Australian-operated and offers friendly support, Melbourne pickup in Blackburn by appointment, and fast dispatch options subject to availability and destination. Call 0425 890 125 for help with a specific enquiry.
Why “CVVT” does not identify one interchangeable part
Kia’s official 2014 Forte specifications distinguish a 1.8-litre multi-point-injection engine from a 2.0-litre gasoline-direct-injection engine. Both are described with dual overhead camshafts and dual continuously variable valve timing. See Kia’s manufacturer specifications for the 2014 Forte. The same broad technology description can therefore appear beside different engine configurations.
For a buyer, that means the letters CVVT are a system description rather than a sufficient parts identifier. The official specification does not establish that the selected RunningRoo gear fits either engine. That requires a separate vehicle-specific comparison of the OE application, the installed engine and the requested camshaft position. A shared model name or familiar abbreviation cannot replace that check.
Keep the manufacturer’s system information separate from the seller’s advertised product coverage. One explains the engine options; the other identifies the item offered for sale. This distinction is especially useful when a search engine displays a product headline next to a specification for a different market or trim level. Both pages may be accurate while referring to different configurations.
What the selected RunningRoo listing supplies
The product description identifies one intake camshaft gear, reference 243502E201, also commonly written with a hyphen as 24350-2E201. It describes an aftermarket replacement. An OE reference used for comparison does not by itself mean the part is a Hyundai- or Kia-branded genuine component. If brand or supply specification matters to the workshop, agree that before ordering.
| Detail | Selected listing | Before purchase |
|---|---|---|
| Component | Intake CVVT camshaft gear | Confirm intake position in the diagnosis |
| Reference | 243502E201 / 24350-2E201 | Check exact vehicle application and any supersession |
| Quantity | One gear | Identify additional parts separately |
| Applications | Selected Hyundai and Kia 2.0-litre entries | Confirm engine code, market and production date |
| Product type | Aftermarket replacement | Agree the workshop’s supply requirements |
The listing includes several model families, including Elantra, Tucson, Forte, Soul and selected other applications. This guide deliberately does not turn that list into a blanket fitment promise. Different engines and market specifications can share those names. The practical question is whether the exact vehicle and installed engine require this exact intake component.
There is also a useful reason to read beyond the headline. The page title mentions Elantra 2014–2019, while its detailed Elantra 2.0-litre entry states 2014–2016. Treat that difference as something to clarify with RunningRoo, not an invitation to choose whichever date range suits the order. Written confirmation against the VIN is preferable to interpreting an ambiguous headline yourself.
Intake position matters as much as the reference
A workshop request should identify which camshaft position is involved. Do not assume that an intake gear can replace an exhaust gear because both belong to the variable-timing system. Equally, do not assume a one-piece package supplies all the components needed for a repair described broadly as a “CVVT job”. The terminology in the estimate should be made specific.
Ask the technician to write the component name and reference on the parts request. If the estimate instead specifies a control valve, a sensor or wiring work, that is not automatically an order for this gear. A clear distinction between the diagnosed component and the wider system avoids buying a mechanical part when the technician has requested something else.
If another gear is required at the same time, obtain its own position and part reference. RunningRoo has other Hyundai and Kia timing-related products, but proximity in a catalogue does not establish compatibility. References ending in 2B700, 26800, 23800 or 2E650 should not be substituted for this enquiry without a vehicle-specific parts check.
Build a useful vehicle identity record
Begin with the full VIN and the engine code confirmed by the workshop. Add the model, production information and market of origin when available. A registration year is useful background, but it is not a substitute for the build details used in a parts catalogue. Imported vehicles deserve the same careful identification rather than an assumption that an Australian model description applies.
If the engine has been replaced, say so at the start. The VIN describes the vehicle as built, while the installed engine may have a different history. Send the technician’s identification of the actual engine together with any available replacement records. This gives the supplier a chance to resolve the difference before recommending a component.
Photographs can help when they show a readable label or marking, but an unclear photograph should not be treated as proof. Ask the workshop to photograph the relevant reference during normal access; do not dismantle an engine merely to obtain a sales enquiry image. Preserve all characters in the number, including the suffix, and note whether it comes from a label, invoice or component marking.
Turn a fault report into an appropriate parts request
A warning light or running complaint is a reason to investigate. It is not, by itself, evidence that this intake gear is defective. Have a qualified technician follow the applicable manufacturer diagnostic information. The owner can assist by recording when the complaint happens, whether it is repeatable and what maintenance or repair work preceded it.
Ask which diagnostic finding supports the proposed replacement. A fault description mentioning camshaft timing may be the beginning of a diagnostic process rather than its conclusion. Do not use this buying guide to bypass that process, and do not assume a part advertised for the vehicle must be the cause of its symptoms.
When discussing an estimate, distinguish confirmed findings from work that remains conditional on inspection. For example, a workshop might quote the intake gear while reserving a decision on related components until access is available. Ask how those later decisions will be communicated and approved. A transparent scope helps the owner budget without pretending every finding can be predicted in advance.
Compare quotations on the same scope
Two estimates with very different totals may include different work. One might be for supply of the gear alone; another might include diagnosis, fitting, service materials and final checks. Before deciding which is better value, ask each business to describe its scope in plain language. A lower component price cannot be meaningfully compared with a complete workshop invoice.
Separate the gear from any chain components, seals, fasteners, fluids or other items specified for the repair. The selected listing’s one-gear contents do not establish that those items are unnecessary. They also do not establish that every related item must be replaced. The correct list comes from the workshop’s findings and the applicable service instructions.
If you plan to supply the part yourself, discuss that with the installer before purchase. Agree who will check compatibility, how a mismatch will be handled and what documentation the workshop needs. This prevents an avoidable disagreement after the car has been booked in and the technician discovers that the supplied item has not been approved for the job.
An example: the same badge, two incomplete enquiries
Imagine two owners who both ask for an Elantra CVVT gear. One provides only a registration year; the other provides a VIN, engine code, intake position and a workshop request for reference 24350-2E201. The second enquiry is much easier to assess because it identifies both the vehicle and the proposed component. It still needs checking, but fewer assumptions remain hidden.
The first owner does not need to guess the missing information. A short conversation with the workshop can establish what it has diagnosed and what identification it can supply. If the technician has not yet inspected the vehicle, the sensible next step may be diagnosis rather than ordering. This hypothetical example illustrates an ordering process, not a claim about any particular owner’s repair.
For a workshop buying several similar-looking gears, include the job number on each enquiry. Keep each VIN and part reference together. A shelf label or a saved shopping cart is not enough if parts from different jobs can be confused. Clear paperwork helps the right component reach the right technician when deliveries arrive together.
Receiving and fitting the component
Inspect the delivery before installation. Compare the order reference, quantity and supplied identification with the agreed requirement. The technician should assess relevant physical features as part of the normal acceptance check. A visual resemblance alone does not establish suitability, but an obvious discrepancy is a reason to pause and contact the supplier.
Keep the packaging and invoice until the job is complete. If there is a query, send focused photographs and a description of the difference. Do not modify a component to make it fit, and do not discard the identification that would help the supplier investigate. Resolve a suspected mismatch while the item can still be examined in its supplied condition.
Installation must follow the applicable Hyundai or Kia repair information for the actual engine. This article does not supply torque values, timing alignment steps or a universal fitting sequence. A product description saying “replacement” does not remove the need for the correct tools, trained judgement and manufacturer procedures.
Order through RunningRoo with a clear collection or delivery plan
Compare the current RunningRoo 24350-2E201 product offer with the matching eBay item. Confirm the application, quantity and terms in the channel where you purchase. If you have received fitment advice, keep it alongside the invoice so the agreed details remain easy to retrieve.
Melbourne customers can arrange Blackburn pickup by appointment. Confirm that the exact item is available and ready before travelling. If a workshop collects on your behalf, give it the order reference and agreed collection details. Australian-operated service and friendly support are available on 0425 890 125.
For delivery, ask about fast dispatch options and the current estimate for your destination. Dispatch and arrival are different milestones. Coordinate the workshop booking with the confirmed supply plan, especially when the vehicle is needed daily. Do not treat a general shipping statement as a guarantee of a particular repair completion date.

Frequently asked questions
Are 243502E201 and 24350-2E201 different numbers?
They are the same character sequence with different formatting. Preserve the complete sequence when enquiring. Formatting equivalence does not establish that another suffix or a similar-looking gear is interchangeable.
Does this listing include an exhaust gear?
The reviewed contents state one intake camshaft gear. If the workshop requires an exhaust component, request its exact reference and a separate supply confirmation.
Can I order using only the Elantra model year?
Provide the VIN and installed engine code as well. The selected page’s headline and detailed Elantra year range differ, making vehicle-specific confirmation particularly important.
Does a timing-related fault code prove this gear needs replacing?
No. Have the technician establish the cause using the applicable manufacturer diagnostic procedure. A code description alone is not a complete diagnosis or parts specification.
Is this a genuine Hyundai or Kia branded component?
The selected product is described as an aftermarket replacement. Ask about the supplied brand and specification if your workshop has a particular requirement; an OE comparison number is not proof of genuine-brand manufacture.
Can I collect it in Melbourne?
Yes, subject to confirmation of availability and an appointment for Blackburn pickup. Arrange the time and order reference with RunningRoo before making the trip.
