My wife's seat 2012 Seat Ibiza petrol was becoming hard to start in hot weather. If it had been in the sun for any length of time it took a lot of cranking and plenty of throttle to start. Some research indicated that a faulty purge/breather valve could be the issue.
I always prefer to use genuine parts where possible and doing so with this Bosch OEM part really did the trick. It not only immediately cured the starting problem, the cars acceleration and performance significantly improved. This suggested that the valve had been faulty for quite some time without realising it.
Great value for money and no doubt excellent quality.
A purge valve by it's nature has a reasonable life time before it gets stuck. We can either buy a new one or take one from a scrap car. the latter may be as bad as the one you replace. I would always go for new and this particular one Is very good and stopped my problem as soon as fitted. Very good price and quick delivery time.
