watch how you go about cleaning your stepper motor. I got away VERY lucky with this. The collar went in first and was big enough to stop the spring getting in under the valve, but soft enough to just bend and not cause any damage.24seven has attached the following image: ________________________________________ Ph1 306 GTi 6 | RX8 231 S1 | YBR 125 Cafe Racer | MT-03 660 |

Whoa was that the one I sent you? I suppose I should have made it more clear that I never used it.How the hell did that happen? Was that just from pulling the shaft out when cleaning? I can see the sleeve and spring but wheres the end bit?  |

nah that's the old one I wrongly fitted. I think it wound itself out and crapped its pants. I still haven't received that one, so I think royal mail have lost it. the other peice was in the inlet manifold, fortunately it was too heavy to be sucked up. ________________________________________ Ph1 306 GTi 6 | RX8 231 S1 | YBR 125 Cafe Racer | MT-03 660 |

you took the inlet manifold off to clean the stepper? easier access but risk of accidents!i just removed the breather pipe which i found had a leak where it joins the main induction hose going into the throttle body so going to upgrade to silicone me thinks ________________________________________ *R.I.P Pete Sims* |

I recovered the phallus from the manifold using a magnet-on-a-stick thing, but couldn't find the other pieces so took the manifold off, and there they were. had a good look around the valve they were against and no damage has been done as far as I can tell. the collar is too big to have gotten into the seat, and the spring didn't get far into the throat because the collar was in the way. ________________________________________ Ph1 306 GTi 6 | RX8 231 S1 | YBR 125 Cafe Racer | MT-03 660 |

the car's back running again now and using the stethoscope I couldn't hear any unfriend;y noises from the head, so all's good. in fact the noisy exhaust-side tappet was very quiet listening to it this way, so I had a quick look around and found a loose spark plug. happy chappy!________________________________________ Ph1 306 GTi 6 | RX8 231 S1 | YBR 125 Cafe Racer | MT-03 660 |
