I've been reliably informed that there is such a thing as carbon track repair paint but at the same time been told not to bother!
This is a bit of a shame. All I can say it thank goodness for ebay knock offs as the price of the original part is seriously expensive.

Replacement
Here are some pictures of the replacement part I bought.
Apparently it comes from the same factory that makes them for Bosch (so the advert says). Does have all the numbers stamped / in the casting...   Paid less than 40 euros delivered (packet post costs about 7 euros)

I ask because I was thinking of trying one myself. Someone somewhere suggested that this Black Edition was more expensive (45€?) than the ordinary version because it was selected from a Chinese factory batch, tested and warranted as working to spec. No idea if it's true. Do let us know if it works. Bonne chance. RayH

The guy I bought it from says in his advert that the sensors come from the same factory where Bosch gets them. I get the impression if they were extra special the guy would have used that as a selling point. I fitted it today. I have a few more things to fiddle with and then I'll be able to say for sure if this has fixed the uneven idle or not.
