biffy1984 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Hi guys, i'm looking for an idle contral valve in good working order ASAP for the XE/SEH etc, preferably as cheap as possible. Please reply or PM with price including first class post if you have a spare one to sell. Can do paypal. Thanks, Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volksdevil Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Hi Peter, what does this look like? Any pics? I may have one with my XE conversion stuff, but I will be using carbs so I shouldn't need it? Neil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volksdevil Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Cheers Gary. Don't think i've got one of those but will have a look when next up at my unit (Possibly tomorrow) Can have it for nowt if i've got one and you need/want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffy1984 Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 Thanks Neil, if you have one i'll take it. Gary, I havn't tried cleaning it yet, thought if I got a good one i'd have a spare anyway. Not even sure if the idle control valve will sort the problem but worth a try. Do you just wash them through with petrol or brake cleaner and blow through with an airline? Cheers, Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymanc Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 cleaned mine out with some carb cleaner left to soak overnight ,brake cleaner will do as well . and a quick spray with wd40 before refitting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volksdevil Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Sorry Peter, I don't seem to have one. Thought I may have done as i seem to have pretty much everything else. Always worth cleaning an isv out, quite common on the Vw's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffy1984 Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 Cheers Gary, will give it a try Thanks anyway Neil, I did have a spare one but my mate got it when we put a VR6 engine in his mk2 Golf and never replaced it! Exactly the same part. Cheers, Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
