Welcome to my members motors profile. I'm now on my second passat, and don't think I'll change back to my golf days, as I need the room for the kids now. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a128/vwmk3/DSCN0609.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a128/vwmk3/DSCN0896.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/alb...

75n valve replacment.

I've got it in my head i what to change the 75n valve on my 1.8 T, due to it playing up some days, well i hope it's this.

Where can i get one cheap for starters, and how easy is it to fit?
I'm sure I saw a link somewhere, but it's not here now.
