Happy New Year

I'm still having loads of problems with my scoob

spluttering and rounning bad

I have tried cleaning out the idle valve my question is about the little flap just inside.

I have removed it and the little flap seems to move freeley. I need to know when looking at it should the flap be fully closed or fully open, mine sits half way and I am wondering whether mine could be knackered has any one got one off the car they could check?

just cleaned mine out yesterday on my 97 uk.the flap was half way on mine.used electrical contact cleaner as its alcohol based and dries leaving nothing.did the boost solenoid and throttle body as well.runs so much smoother now.

Thanks Rifle man, how did you do the boost solenoid I have heard if I put it into test mode I can spray cleaner into one of the pipes, which one though?

rifleman

its the top pipe.it went noist for a bit afterwards and you could hear it clicking inside the car but went quiet again after a day.
