Probably buys spark plugs to service his astra diesel.

Oh wait, that's someone who was on here a while ago

Actually looking at your auction title:

Quote:

Dump valve - Corsa/Tigra C20LET c20XE

Why have you listed c20xe in the title for a dump valve? The guy asking the question could have been taking the piss out of you

I suppose the answer is yes, as it will operate still when it sees vacuum as you back off the throttle.
He hasnt said "will it make a noise" merely "will it work" and it "working" is about equalising pressure between the inside and outside of your intake pipes, so I would say that yes it does still work.
It works performing a function that is of NO use in terms of performance or turbo life etc, but he hasnt asked if its going to make a positive difference, merely if it works.

If its an AFM based setup, he'll certainly KNOW its "working" too

looks pretty much like the person who asked the question is taking the mic out of you. I'm pretty sure if they know what a c20xe engine is, they know the purpose of a dump valve

Oh, the joke is on you!

He was banned by lee for claiming not to drive around since he was 16yrs old and never having a valid license or insurance (and probably MOT) and yet he's had more cars than the sultan of brunei
