Title: V6 IAC Cleaning Tutorial
Post by: estaszew on 28 November 2007, 22:26:58

This guy did a good job at showing how to clean the V6's IACV.  Maybe it could go in the maintenance section?

No probs - whats the guy cleaning then?  Could easily be a variation of the IAC valve thats only fitted to US spec cars??

It's the IACV fitted on the Catera (US).  Crappy plastic compared to the UK one shown above.

Crikey - don't take this personally, but thank god we are advert free on this site, that forum looks really hard work with all those adverts all over the place.
