Hello everyone,

The 142E we are developing for SCCA racing has a bad idle air valve (auxiliary idle controller, or whatever else people call them). The correct part for our car (Bosch p/n 0 280 140 013) is the one without the electrical heater in it, and seems to be pretty much unobtainable new or used.

There is a later version (Bosch p/n 0 280 140 104) that uses an electrical heater instead of heat from the coolant to warm itself up and close. I believe it was used on early 240s that had the B20 engine. However, if we can establish that this version was ever used by Volvo on a factory Volvo 142 with a B20 engine, then we would be allowed to use it on our car without breaking SCCA class rules.

So - does anybody know if the later version was used on a 142? Or can anyone sell us a working version of the non-electrical valve?

You can see pictures of both valves on the blog for our 142 race car at http://volvo142racer.blogspot.com/

Thanks,
Nick Craft
