hey all i just got a stabilizer valve off ebay
as mine is revin away on its own
do i just take the old one off n put the new one on
or will stuff need settin up again
because i can do it myself if its just a swap over job
-
just swap it over mate.the idleing may need tinkering if it's been adjusted to the old isv

How much did u pick it up for? i sold one for 39 quid a few days ago on ebay. :)
str8 swap. I clean mine out with WD40 then bung it back in. works alrite

15quid i got it for
put it on over the weekend and it still was revin away on its own.
so i had a good look around the engine and found
to wires leadin to nowhere they had been snapped
several times by looks of it
then i saw a plug with no wires on it so i put the snapped wires
on the plug n hey presto no revin so that was the prob
so i am gonna nab a plug off the polo n fix them in properly
coz it wastes petrol revin all the time
so i got 2 stabilizer valves now both work fine aswell

99.9% of the time ISV's dont fail. its the wiring on the throttle closed switch or the ISV control unit that fails
is this a 16v your talkin about?
