Hi Mike, old thread I know but a bit of information please.
My 2011 4.4 tdv8 has the nut on the linkage. I've put a vacuum source on the pipe and I can feel the valve open half way and a few seconds later it fully opens. Release the vacuum and it thunks shut. Iv'e got it soaking with some spray lubricant as I type this.
The connection with the nut is free and not sticking so I'm hoping the lubricant will soak in and free the valve.
My question is that I don't understand why you say the valve only moves a few millimetres. From what I can feel it moves the valve about 90 degrees and the vacuum rod seems to pull in at least 15mm.
Thanks Kev.
