info needed on over-run cutoff valve

[Gambit]

saucer thing shouldnt cause any problems if not working. i ran my white 16v for about 18mths with it disconnected.

i changed the control unit on my 16v on sunday & it cured the current ISV problems i was having. but then i knew my control unit was shafted, where as u dont. they are a 5min job to change over though

[Deefadog]

I need a control unit then , if you know of one, please let me know!

Scrapies are sparce down here

[Gambit]

do u not know anybody else with a 16v nearby that u could swap over modules just to test it?

[Deefadog]

No, wish i did, testing would be so much easier!

Can i test it without swaping it? maybe disconnect it and see what happens, if there is no difference then i know it's knackered i suppose. But i still would have nothing to compare it to, so mabe not a good idea

[Gambit]

the only way you know its knackered is if it wont idle on its own

with mine when you started the engine and let it idle it would just rev all the way up to 4k and just hold at that. hence how i knew it was banjo'd!

ring RadiCool VW. they are very reasonable i've used them loads of times to get parts sent over to me in N.Ireland and also in the Isle of Man

Cheers for the contact, do they supply second hand parts?

[Gambit]

yes they are VW breakers

and are very cheap also

[Deefadog]

Nice one, thanks

I never new there were specialist breakers and ones that deliver! I just rang them!

?23 delivered for the isv controll unit & saucer pressure valve!

Bargain, thanks again

will let you know!

[Gambit]

i told u they were cheap

are they taken credit card payments yet? last time i used them it was only cheque or postal order

to get at your ISV module u'll need to take out the 3 screws in the centre console. two are easy enough to find - one on each side and then there is one underneath the gearshift rubber cover thing that usually has people searching for a bit!!

if you want to check anything out on your valver,your welcome to have a look at my engine as i have got one now
