It's me again .

Now I think the idle valve is broken, too . Now that I know how it works...

Let me explain:

I turn the ignition on, I hear the clunk of the idle valve, I don't start the engine and wait approx. 30 seconds; then I hear the clunk again and the idle valve doesn't do anything anymore...when I turn the steering wheel to its maximum position and change the drive position at the same time while the engine runs, the engine shuts off; I can reproduce that every time; no matter if the engine is cold or warm. I can workaround that just by don't doing these two things at the same time.

As the valve is not the cheapest part (approx. 200 USD from Bosch), I'd like hear your opinion . Do you think it's this valve?

I'm quite happy as my engine starts fine and drives well but sometimes when I leave the parking lot I don't think about this problem and select a drive position and turn my steering wheel to its maximum position and *boom* .

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Andreas.
