idle stability/control valve question

[jonnyoutram 0]

hi, im having all sorts of miss fireing/ bad idleing problems. i know i need an icv and im just wondering if anyone knows if these are the same on a vr6 as on any other vw's.... for example mk2 golf or rado 16v???

 

only wondering this as a friend once found one in another friends garage and it seemed to fix his icv problem when it packed up!! it was strance cos the garage we found it in had never seen a vr6, it had only seen a mk2 8v!!!

So you havea VR6 currently and you want to know if a 16V ISV will fit it?

 

No, is the short answer :D

yes i want to knoif any other isv's will fit or not, thanks for the infor anout the 16v one :D

The VR6 one is Bosch no - 0280 140 512

 

I'm sure other VAGs and I think some Vauxhalls use it also, but not the 8 or 16V unfortunately!

The Late 16v (9a) one is the same as the VR... around £140 from VW

Are you sure? I asked Neil how much a VR6 ISV was and it was over £200 mates rates.

Ah - yeah might be now, there was a genuine one on eBay for £99 though a while back - bargain!

I was quoted £239.83 + VAT last week at the dealers.
