Refundable Core Charge

If a product you are purchasing has a core charge you will see it in your shopping cart under the product.

A core charge is a little like a bottle deposit. You pay a core charge when you buy a rebuildable product, and get your money back when you return the core.

Cores are the used parts that may be returned when purchasing rebuildable parts. New, used, and remanufactured products may have a core charge. We send cores to our rebuilders to create a remanufactured part. Having a core charge on most rebuildable parts helps us keep our prices low, is a great way to recycle, and ensures there is product available for the next customer. If a core deposit is shown, this charge will be added to your total at the time of sale but is refundable upon the return of your rebuildable original part. Cores are valuable to us; we need them back on a timely basis to be rebuilt so we have product to sell to the next customers. (See core return policy under warranties and return for more info)

If you have any concerns or questions about the core charge or shipping charges, please call us at 586.757.2300.

VW idle speed stabilizer. Idle speed is controlled by the idle speed stabilizer valve, and electronically control rotary valve which is really just a fancy bypass of the throttle body. When the fuel injection "brain" receives a signal that the idle is too high or too low, it makes fine adjustments using the idle speed stabilizer. Over time, the valve gums up, causing it to respond too slowly which causes the brain to "over shoot" the adjustment. This makes the idle hunt up and down. The valve can also stick, causing a consistently low or high idle. If you're having idle problems, there's a good chance it's your idle speed stabilizer. It's an easy fix - remove two hoses, one bracket and one electrical plug and it's out. An easy 15 minute job!

Condition: New

Warranty

Do-it-Yourself Tip
