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 Cold Start Valve. These switches are also known as the "Fifth Injector". Gas Fuel Injected cars need a little extra splash of fuel to get them going when they are cold as they don't have a choke like the older carbureted cars did. If you have a Volkswagen with CIS Injection, and you are having difficulty cold starting, this may be what you need.

Condition: New

Warranty

All products carry a 100 day warranty. Engines, cylinder heads, and injection pumps carry an extended 12 month warranty. See our warranty page for details.

Do-it-Yourself Tip

Once you have tested or replaced your VW cold start valve, but it still does not idle well for the first few minutes, check your Auxiliary Air Valve, as this may be contributing to your problem. If you are working on your fuel injected VW, you will want to have a Bentley service manual on hand to assist you - one of the most popular is shown below.
