Ginger60 0 Posted January 25, 2011 Hi guys, need a new idle control valve, damn pricey at £200 any ideas on a cheaper supplier? thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 South 0 Posted January 25, 2011 Have a search on Flea Bay. I purchased a new one from the Air Flow Meter Company (I think they are called) for about £40. They are not genuine but they do have a years warranty and who cares at that price. Most of ther stuff is best offer so try offering between £5 and £10 less :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 1 Posted January 30, 2011 What engine is it for? If it's a 2.0 16v you can use the VR6 one and vice versa. They seem to sell on eBay second hand for about £15 - just keep your eyes peeled. I've bought a few now and they've all worked fine :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fulltimejunglist 0 Posted January 30, 2011 not sure if you can use other ones from different engines but... may help Same comany anyway the mk2 one is so im sure if that wont fit they would be able to source one for you. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-Idle-air-cont ... 3a555e1256 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Golf-Passat-1- ... 19be1598da No second hand ones on there from what i found. Out of intrest, are these interchangable? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ginger60 0 Posted February 3, 2011 Every last avenue of options drying up, any last ideas before i part with £200? :epicfail: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fulltimejunglist 0 Posted February 3, 2011 209 is shocking, not sure what else can be done, does any one know if these are interchangeable between vw models or engines? would give a bigger range to choose from. Ask people breaking them on ebay should have one. Is this the stuff people use to change their leather colour? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ask people breaking them on ebay should have one. Nope, G60 has a unique part number, probably uprated to deal with the boost pressure and it also functions as a boost return valve in certain circumstances.
