Vcv best place to buy from
Hi
I'm just wondering where the best place to get a vcv from?

Had 2 fail within the first 100miles of fitting them (both genuine denso from paddocks LR009837G) relearn and pilot correction both done.

Current one is stalling when hot starting, slight rev fluctuating, black smoke when under load.

Also is it common for them to be faulty out the box?

Thanks

The obvious answer in that case is anywhere other than Paddocks!

There are many rubbish unbranded and/or counterfeit Denso VCVs around and it is quite common for these to be defective from the box. I've bought all mine over the years (at least three now) from my local Ford main dealer and never had a problem with them, other than the fact that every five years/100k miles or so they fail and have to be replaced.

If you have water or dirt in the tank they will fail within hours, so check that the tank and filter is clean.

Ah ok will try some main dealers and other suppliers,

Does £100 price difference between main dealer (ford or land rover genuine) and places such as BAS and LR parts for a denso mean anything?

The 2 from paddocks came with a britpart genuine part sticker, however underneath there seems to be a torn PSA sticker, so I'm guessing is supplied by britpart but is a genuine psa part?

Fuel filter was changed 2 months ago

I would not buy a VCV from Britpart whatever the sticker.

The £100 difference is the very high price of assurance plus the cost of the main dealer subcontracted supply chain.
