I think I have a bad fuel shutoff solenoid in my 98 12Valve. Dealer just quoted $799.00 for it- Are you kidding me? Can they be rebuilt? Also how to know for sure it's the solenoid or the relay?

Looking for the cheap and easy fix...

 

i bought this one for a 100 bucks.

takes like 5 minutes to put in.

i will sell you my old one needs a new rubber boot.

 

LD,
Thanks for the link! Looks like it's just what I need.

 

$800 wow

 

No kidding. This dealer is making a killing and leaving customers with a sore ***.

 

$800 installed I'm sure, and book probably says its a 3 hour job when replacing the bracket. Genosgarage.com they have some of the maintenance parts as well as new solenoids.

a cable will work too.

 

Yea hopefully there is some money left over for some lube.
X2 on the cable though until you get a replacement.

Spend some time with it before you buy a new one. You can often clean it up and even make a new rubber boot with rubber from an old bike tube and some cable ties.
