ISVs are used on loads of VW engines, MK2 8v & 16v, MK3 8v & 16v etc.

oic 'only the 2e has one, not the later MK3 2.0 8v engines' :grin:

Best way to clean an ISV, is leave it buzzing whils submerged in petrol or white spirit.  It buzzes with the ignition on ;)

Yes it can, it just needs a 12v feed to get it buzzing.
As long as you don't get any sparks you should be ok, do it in a well ventilated place and don't spill petrol everywhere  :grin:
