fuel mixture screw?

Post by dmagavs »

i unscrewed this today a bit much and think something fell out from inside this screwhead housing.

so is there something meant to be inside this (rubber/spring) and does Vx sell these

heres a pic of the part im on about with the red square around it...borrowed pic from another post in here :)

thats only a schrader valve to release the fuel pressure from the fuel rail before removing the fuel pipes

if your having problems with your idle revs try cleaning or changing your idle control valve. (the other thing circled in the picture)
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:

Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!
