Hello
I'm in MOT emissions hell again and the idle is running high all the time. Cleaned the idle control valve and replaced coolant temp sensor still running high.
I want to replace the idle control valve but Renault say NLA and I don't want to put a second hand one on really.
It looks like a Bosch 0280140501 but that's specced for an 80s 911 and priced accordingly £300 nos ffs. And sitting on a shelf in Portugal.
Does anyone know an alternative number?
Many thanks.

Sorry for any inconvenience.
Do you want me to remove it mate?
I'd say it's best to leave threads like this on the technical section. Quite a few of us are battling such issues - it's much easier to find a solution in a dedicated thread, than going the the hundreds of car specific threads :(
I'd agree with mrodz. In my case, it was the throttle position sensor causing havoc.
There are a fair few used idle valves around, but as it was made for so long and they do foul up, I looked around for a new pattern part, and found http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PORSCHE-91...4AAOSw-jxZd0OS. Please note I never bought it, just might save someone some time and money some time.
(There is a £40 one direct from China; who knows WHAT you are buying these days)
