New genuine is the only option.
I have had one fail in 230,000 miles (although I have replaced it twice as part of troubleshooting). With decent fuel they do ok. |

Mann or Mahle.
Make sure that the tank breather is in good condition and the open end isn't in the usual place (behind a rear wheel). Water, dirt, or the Diesel Bug will kill the VCV very quickly. |

Thanks again.
One other thing which I find hard to understand is how random the VCV issues are? It would run perfect for weeks, then suddenly start messing about for a day or so, then run perfect again. Is this normal? For example, on Sunday it died about 20 times in 60 mile journey and has been running perfect yesterday and today ![]() |
