Assistance from 300GE owners - idle air valve
Hello G people,
I've got an intermittent idle issue with my engine M103.987 and want to swap out the idle air actuator from a known working engine with no idle or stalling issues, to see whether that is the problem. A new part is £200+ so I would rather not get it unless it is necessary.
If you have a 300GE sitting around not being used much, and can do without the part for a few days, I will cover your costs. Alternatively if you are near Leicestershire/Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire I can come along and do the "testing" at your place, and I hope that won't take long.
Part details:
Mercedes part number: A000 141 22 25
Bosch part number: 0 280 140 510.
It sits under the air cleaner, with 2 hoses connected to it and 1 electrical plug (2 pin).
Part no.14 in the picture attached.
Thanks!

Thanks, I hadn't looked there.
After looking, only part that sounds vaguely like it is "Bosch Idler Control" £178.80!
That might have been an old price?
