Variable solenoid valve. It's under the inlet manifold. It's an electronic bleed valve.

wrong again mark!!
LOL
It's what i've always known it as.
And calling it something different won't affect the car to go wrong. If i'd described it's operation wrong then fair dues.No worries Paul, misinformation on the level you're talking about is just dangerous yes.

Re: Whats a VSV???
And it's a solenoid valve which is electrically variable so it's not strictly incorrect. 
Re: Whats a VSV???
yeh, dont matter if it was called a veilside side vomit, still wont effect what is actually does and you cant exactly
"upgrade" it either.

[anorak on] its not variable at all actually,its either on or off,open or closed,no variation at all...unless you are talking rev3 T,it has a 5 stage variable t-vsv... i bet thats the one you mean right mark [anorak off ]-

No, it IS a variable solenoid valve, it's just in this case that's not what it stands for.
I'll settle for half wrong.
