Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I’ve just put a deposit on a 993, and while viewing I couldn’t work out what this aluminium canister is, any ideas?

POST 2Original post

Thats the idle stabilisation valve. Enjoy your new purchase

POST 3Original post

...also called Idle Control Valve, if you live in Europeland rather than in the States. What's with the silver/metal rod holding up the engine lid on the top LHS? You might need a pair of gas damper/lifter/strut. Stabilus are the best. That'll be your first fifty quid spent
