Car has just come back from honda, quotes Throttle body £865 , Idle Valve £350 Does anyone know of another place that could perhaps do this for cheaper or where i could obtain the parts from?

 

You can get a J's racing throttle body from Sumo for ~ £250 and takes 5 mins to fit. Alternatively call a scrapper and pick a second hand one up for peanuts

What symptoms were you getting in the first place ?

It wouldn't be the first time that a dealer had gone over board on what could be a simple issue to remedy.

As above, try one of the scrap yards from the list in the FS&W section.

A duff throttle body and ICV

What did you take it in for, new brake pads

 

 

Agree with the above, what problem did you have and what rip off are they trying to do on you?

I've never heard of anyone needing a new throttle body!

 

Yep agree with above, why did Honda say you neeed a TB and ICV - they having a bad month

If you need them, thats if you ACTUALLY need them just get 2nd hand parts.

 

They need the money to pay for new '09 engines.

 

Let us know what symptoms you're experiencing and we can help you to diagnose the problem.

I doubt you need a new TB and ICV. I'll take a guess that they're dirty and/or your MAP sensor is playing up.
