Anyone used them?? Worth a try or just cheap rubbish??

 

The old saying goes, you get what you pay for!

 

That's not the sort of answer I'm looking for! I'm happy to take on board what people say IF they've had genuine experience with the part.

I have tried 2 and both worked perfectly

they do need to be set up tho as unlike the gen ford items they dont come pre"set

 

I bought a cheapie pattern one from eBay and it was spot on,no problems at all

 

Mate has one on his and no drama.

 

The ones ive seen have worked fine, i find the springs are a little weaker though either side of the piston, worst case is to just take it apart and use the OE springs. The actual unit works fine.
Like Paul said they just take a little bit of time to get working perfectly.

 

Cool, exactly the sort of feedback I wanted I want to use them in a remote housing and will be controlling it via aftermarket management so they sound perfecto.

 

I brought one a while back and the car run at 2000 RPM, it was James that suggested the spring. When I dismantled the spring on the aftermarket items aren't as strong as the OE item, thus the valve opens further.

I did try changing but then it done the opposite and run very slow.

James, do you change just the bottom spring, or both?

i have one in the box, tried it and it reved its tits off. How do you adjust them ??

 

I have used them on zetecs and some have ran sweet after fitting and some revved high, but as mentioned unlike the OE ones you simply pop off the cap on most and turn the screw for a perfect idle

 

Trial and error really,

 

you should have brought it back to where you brung it from

 

Iv got one in my car mart as said the spring are a bit week so i used the springs of a old one job done

 

I bought one off ebay in 2010 - not sure what make it is but i payed £66.00 for mine - it's never revved high at all

 

not a cossie but i replaced the one on our old 406 and it revved high/hunted.

i disconnected the battery for a few mins and after that it was spot on. same with a mate at works 306 the other week, was hunting/revvving so disconnect the battery and it was fine after

 

True of a modern ECU, but the Weber ECU'S are basic and none of them are adaptive bar the P8, so this woulden't help.
