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 :)

if your having problems with your idle revs try cleaning or changing your idle control valve. (the other thing circled in the picture)
