#1: Fitting new idle control valve Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Mon Oct 31, 2011 7:56 am ---- How easy is it to fit a new idle control vlave? Where is it located in the ph1 Gti engine and is there anything else required after it is installed? Been quoted £197 to supply and fit a new unit but seen them online for less than £30 and if it's an easy job, i'd rather do it myself and save myself alot of money

I've got one somwhere. Fancy it for £10+postage? I'm never going to use it.
