How much is the above from Vauxhall? Ive been told its about £100, is that about right? Seems quite expensive to me.

Cheers

No i paid i think about £65 for mine from LMF, cleaning them dont really do much they are a little solenoid that controls the amount of air entering the engine at idle and its a sealed unit, you can only clean the plunger, when they go its normally unfixable, try it it might work, i did when mine played up but it did nothing

The bloke who's gonna get it for me if I need it is calling in a favour from a Vauxhall mechanic so not gonna be paying! But I'll give it a clean first!

I just thought it was quite expensive.

Thanks for the quick response!
