Gfs Clio - Idle Control Valve

Django x2 · 26 Sep 2010 at 22:09

Hey dudes, We're selling the GFs Clio, 1.6 RXE 8v MK2 Phase 1, etc, etc.

It's revving high at idle, circa 1100rpm and at junctions it's up and down like a Yo-Yo™.

I suspect the ICV but I can't seem to locate through what looks like a miles worth of intake.

I fancy it is down near the manifold at the back of the block, a seemingly impossible reach (might be better coming up from underneath).

Can someone confirm?

Thanks

Got a picture of the engine bay and suspected ICV?

A good spraying of carb cleaner should sort it out once you have found it....

Soak it with cleaner, re-direct the breather, give the new owner false details...

Sorry, at work today. This is the engine though (generic picture)

And this is listed as the IAC, ICV, whatever you want to call it.

The table on that ebay page has the engine listed a K7M (Clio II (BB0/1/2, CB0/1/2) 1.6)

You have to take that top cover off and you will find the IAC bolted into the side of the throttle body at the rear of the engine.

Is it easy enough to get to?
