Cleaning the ISV

[cняis]

working at a motor factors it's interesting what you say ref clutches...

i had a Quniton Hazell (moprod) one fitted to mine last july and working lovely. Borg & Beck are meant to be of slightly lesser quality but we dont get many issues with these at work. We also supply LUK kits which are dearer but (so we're told) are of very good quality. these are all 3 part kits (disc, plate and bearing).

Heard cleaning the isv works much better if you run power though (as in first click in the ignition barrell) whilst soaking it in petrol, due to it oscillating when powered. Anyone had any experience of this?

Sounds like a fire risk to me.

Something less flammable than petrol *might* a good idea to 'soak' this electrical component in, if you're 'soaking' it.

Better to hose it with carb-cleaner while it is powered up away from the car.
