Thanks for a brilliant post. I have just done my 98 T4 and is now perfect again.

I am having poor idle, it seems to idle at arroing 600rpm, this isnt an issue atall it doesnt stall but somthing like this may help improve the idle.

I undone the two screws holding the ICV on but the thing wouldnt budge i could see the green bit between and nothing seemed to be moving, am i missing somthing is or is the ICV really well stuck on?

Im taking it that this isnt a usual service for garages?

Might be some time since, if ever, it was removed. Once the two screws are out there's is nothing else holding it. Try to get a small flat blade screwdriver between the two and they should just prise apart. Do your best not to damage the green gasket but, if you fail, they can be obtained from your dealer.
