Guest btwstripe Posted January 5, 2006 folks, on every 2 litre turbo pic i`ve looked at on here, none of them have the say "dooda" as mine has. if you look at this post here of 2 engine bays from donor cars, the unit that sits on the passengers side next to the battery, it has a hose coming off it and running to the top of the throttle body. what the hell is it? on my car it is part of the boost hose! looks like an idle control valve but why is mine different? and do i need the fecker!! http://forum.205gtidrivers.com/index.php?showtopic=48023&hl= goldie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonofsam 5 Posted January 5, 2006 (edited) Yes thats the ICV,i would say you need it..what engine is yours..xm or 406?it is part of the boost hose.i relocated mine to the 'cold' side.dont know if this is right or not Edited January 5, 2006 by sonofsam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest btwstripe Posted January 5, 2006 no idea to be honest mate, i`m new to this! why is yours not in the same pipe as mine? infact is yours not blocked off? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easypug 0 Posted January 5, 2006 I would imagine there different as the engine came from quite a few different models and makes of car. What car did you engine come from btwstripe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonofsam 5 Posted January 5, 2006 the blocked of one is the EGR(exhaust gas recirculation) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest btwstripe Posted January 5, 2006 i`m really not sure buddy, was rumoured to be a xantia, gimme 2 tics and i`ll get a pic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonofsam 5 Posted January 5, 2006 best way to find out a general idea of what car it came from is to have a look at the letters stamped on the block at the front right side just above the sump..RGY is Citroen i think,and RGX is Peugeot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest btwstripe Posted January 5, 2006 (edited) here`s the wee bugger i was talking about! apologies for size of pics, i`ll resize them and adjust the link later tonight image image image image the 2 hoses that come off it go to the throttle body and te smaller hose to what i believe to be the amal valve/boost controller. and for you eagle eyes out there, you`ll see no intercooler! yes, the brainy guy i bought it from, took it off, gladly tho it has a wee boost prob at the mo and isn`t running any!! i`ll sort it this weekend tho, hence why i need info on this ICV c`mon guys!! help me out here (edit: large images changed to links) Edited January 5, 2006 by jackherer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonofsam 5 Posted January 5, 2006 (edited) The two hoses that come of my ICV go 1 into the inlet and 2 into the boost hose,im no expert as my engine isnt even running yet.yes that is the amal valve wich on mine also has 1 port blocked of because i dont have the EGR,i could be completely wrong though Edited January 5, 2006 by sonofsam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest btwstripe Posted January 5, 2006 is there any chance the that this is actually an egr valve? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonofsam 5 Posted January 5, 2006 no i wouldnt of thought so,saying that ive never seen what an EGR looks like..I got my ICV from a reputable xm breaker so i would hope they sent me the right part Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest btwstripe Posted January 5, 2006 it just seems to me, that most icv are on the inlet manifold, this isn`t and the place that you`ve got blanked off for egr valve is where this "dooda"leads to lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonofsam 5 Posted January 5, 2006 (edited) from what i can make out on your pictures,your icv leads to the inlet ,should lead into the top black plastic port above the main inlet ..measures about 20mm dia,the one i have blocked on the inlet is much smaller in dia. and below the plastic one. What are your running problems anyway? if your icv(or mine) is in the wrong port maybe try swapping them over to see if it makes any difference Edited January 5, 2006 by sonofsam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest btwstripe Posted January 5, 2006 i have no boost or at least very very little, after start up, i have a few things to check, but my main reason for asking is that i`m gonna be fitting an intercooler and i want rid of that black hose as it`s ghastly!

sonofsam 5 Posted January 5, 2006 o i see.no boost probally means your amal valve is broke or not plumbed in correctly,im not saying it is though..seems to be a common fault from what i have been reading on these engines.good luck with it all i did spot an amal valve in my local scrap yard last weekend..gimme a shout if its needed.

Guest btwstripe Posted January 5, 2006 i appreciate that mate, i`ve got one from a cossie lying, gonna try and plumb that bad boy in! the less french parts the less that can go wrong lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whizzer71 0 Posted January 5, 2006 Thats the Idle control valve,just an air bleed valve basically,shouldnt affect the boost control,as its only an aux air valve !. Tris. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrSeuss 0 Posted January 5, 2006 you correctly identified them as the icv (it should hum when the ignition is on). And yes the other one is the amal valve. Your draper fault code reader should work on that engine. And its worth doing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest btwstripe Posted January 6, 2006 i have a bleed valve sitting in my toolbox, for arguements sake to rule out the amal valve, how do i replace it with the bleed valve? blank off the hose from the icv area? and join the other 2? also where do other conversions icv sit? pic would be great!
