I bought a brand new OEM Subaru one from Zen about 20mths ago to help get it through MOT. IIRC, I think it was around £165+VAT.

The upside is that the OEM one works beautifully and will last years....

I take it it failed on CO2 content on the 2nd fast idle test?

* Coilpacks next. Could be one... all 4... or any number in between, breaking down and causing inaudible misfires - thus running engine rich when it happens.

* Then MAF sensor (but unlikely).
