Hi dbug,i am not realy sure.Is there a gaskget that goes inbetween the icv and engine(where it bolts to)if you know what i mean.

It doesn't bolt to the plenum, sits in a large rubber collar that fits into side of plenum and a larger collar that is attached to side of plenum.  Only seal is the rubber collar

Spray some carb cleaner around it when its running. if theres an air leak it will be sucked in and will be most audible

in fact moggy, if youre trying to track down a vacuum leak do this around all of the intake

Dbug and webby thanks for the info,when i looked at the maintanance guide.It said it was bolted,so are the icvs different on 2.0 3.0 engines.Dean

wouldn't worry about it until i'd confirmed there was a leak if you don't have carb cleaner use soap and water in a spray bottle  if no hissing its sealed fine

take icv off  and put 1-2 props of 3 in 1 oil down inside--maybe sticking a bit did mine at dinnertime

Before oiling it best to clean it - use card cleaner, then, as said, a couple of drops of 3 in 1

Yep the rubber collar can leak if knackered or not fitted correctly
