Cheap Genuine Bosch Idle Relay

bobf192 · Jul 24th, 2011, 18:22

Having tried a nasty cheap copy and sent it back for a refund as it made the car tick over at 1500, like driving an automatic, the idea occurred to me that as this was a Bosch part I would search the net with the Bosch part number as surely it was used on other vehicles and sure enough up it comes for £56 at a Vauxhall dealer, fitted to lots of their 2.0 litre and larger cars.
Fitted and works a treat.

There are lots of Bosch (and other) parts with the same part number that fit lots of cars, not just Volvo.

You've just discovered how I get a lot of mine without paying through the nose!

. I usually take the numbers when I go to the breakers and check any cars that have the same part on them.

Sometimes shops think that just because you've got a Volvo, they can charge you more!!

Good on you.
