Default Cleaning iacv on my96 classic.

Going to give this a blast but before I do.

1. Easy enough to do?
2. I've read I will need a replacement gasket, best place to get one?

Cheers chaps

Easy job, unbolt and squirt with carb cleaner till clean. Gasket will prolly be stuck to one face.
Save yourself a few quid and buy some gasket paper from a motor factors or ICP sell them.

Just had a quick look on YouTube, looks like a few pipes need to be removed etc? Will get a new gasket tbh.

Don't need to remove any of the pipes... it gives you enough room to do it above engine...
Don't forget a cheap toothbrush as it makes it shine inside..
And there is a cylinder in it.( maybe just 98)
Get a small screwdriver and give it a spin round and clean in there to
It's a piece of **** mate

Ah that's good, will have a proper look tomo. But before I begin the demise of the car, worth getting a gasket first?

I just put some sealer on it and it works a treat...

As before it normally sticks to inlet and stays in place...
So a bit of silicone or I use loctite stuff on it and bolt it back up
