Wax Stat???

[1_eyed_jim]

Just rang to book my van in and i've been told that the problem i have is my wax stat is faulty and needs replacing??? (van has high revs when choke is off)

Just before i agree to this i cant help but think is this an easy job? I can't seem to find a part either?

Thanks

Its part of your carb. AKA "Expansion Element"

Waxstat, also known as 'Expansion Element':
Helps control the idle untill the autochoke switches off completely. Is full of wax which is heated by coolant. As the wax expands a pin exends from the unit pressing a lever which brings the idle down. Check by throwing into a bowl of hot water, the pin should extend. This has been known to fix dodgy units as it 'resets' the wax apparently!

Haha excellent work! Maybe i should leave this one to the experts! It does sound like its going to sort the problem out though.
