Cheers Pavlo, does it have a plug on it with about 5 wires in it?
If it is this, do you know if i take the 2 phillips screws out to get it apart, will bits fly everywhere? or is it plain sailing when cleaning it?

Cheers

Pavlo

lol, bollox to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! probably nowt wrong with it, i`ll leave to SP`s

If you do take it out there is a soft silicon O ring that usually gets left behind then if you are unlucky it twists, you don't notice it and you end up with it going into the engine and no seal, so check after removal and tease it out, refit to the stepper motor b4 reassembly. There will be a ton of black gunk in there that needs cleaning out as well.

These always seem to need cleaning before you get a good idle, if MAF has been under-reading and lambda is stuffed. Go figure

Cheers lads, been informed by dealer today that MAF is goosed, so maybe i`ll give the ICV a clean when i get it back just to keep everything tip top

Could do with cleaning the ICV on MY00 Tub - anyone got a photo of the sensor so I know which one to clean

No photo, but its easy! Its the thing on top of the throttle body, that bolts into the right hand side. Its got 2 screws and a large black multi-plug attatched. Take plug off, undo screws and remove. Cleaned mine in petrol, dried and re-fitted! Easy. Just keep a look out, and be careful of the O-ring as Bob says. Just done mine. Don't forget to clean out the inlet that the ICV fits into! Used a cotton bud, perfect!
