Question Boost Control Valve

Hi guys!

I need a boost control valve for MYOO classic, part number 16102AA160, any suggestions where to get one or equivalent, without going to main dealer?

Not really keen on second hand as they frequently go wrong!

Thanks for your help!

Frequently go wrong??

Do they now?

Mine is still original after 6 1/2 years and 70,000 miles - it works too - so, please explain your frequent timespan??

Clean it out - it's a simple solenoid, nothing to it! Maybe it's just stuck?

Pete,
Frequent means they are an item thats renouned for failing, mine has been dodgy for some time, cleaned it out and cycled it many times,as suggested in prev threads, that has hepled but now it just wont have it, this is the first thing to change before maf sensors etc. Although I am obviously pleased for you that yours is still ok.
They can pack in due to over filling the oil, which I am sure I have never done, but Iam fairly sure it has had its chips now, surging on boost etc

I am aware of the Oil Overfilling issue and how it can contaminate it.

What I will contend is that they are renowned for failure - they simply are not.

That said - good luck!!

I have one here in perfect working order if you don't fancy paying dealer prices or change your mind on secondhand. £25 plus postage.
