or so they think down at my shiney happy local vauxhall garage. they said its getting exsesivly hot and this happenes when its blocked.... some of u know that i have had this problem with loss of power and thanks to lee m who gave me a few bits to try helped me eliminate a few possibilitys [ie maf, o2 idle controll]

they want 380ish inc vat to fit a new one....i can get one for my local motor factors and get a mate to fit it [the part from ajays motor factors is 185ish] what u all rekon i should do????

is this part gonna be shockingly crap compaired to vauxhall?

is it worth paying vaux to do it...?
