Frazer_d Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I am looking for something to do tonight and my Gti could idle better so I was going to clean the valve. Is a 1.6 16v idle control valve the same as a 1.8 16v Gti? Cheers Folks Fraz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazer_d Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 Can you clean your idle control valve with white spirit as I have no petrol in the garage just now and I have some white spirit? Cheers Folks Fraz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
