Idle air control valve removal
 

Can anyone tell me what size the four Torx screws securing the idle air control valve, are please?

Nothing seems to fit. Suspect they've been rounded off. How best to remove if so?

also, should the top bypass hose be secured, or is it a push on fit only?

Thanks in advance.

Are you asking about your 1.8 Pete?

yes the 1.8 no turbo, sorry that was silly of me.

Watch this Neji Saurus screw pliers. best thing for removing damaged or tough screws. (How do I know?)

Available from various UK sources.

anyone know the Torx size, and if the top hose is a push fit, or should be secured?

had to be recovered today. Engine stalled and wouldn't restart twice. But did when it cooled down a bit. Third time, no go, so called for assistance.

The restarting issue is probably down to the known idle control valve issue. But, the engine cutting out was like an electrical problem, sudden and without warning. any thoughts anyone?
