Land Rover Part Number: MLV100160L - Idle Air Control Valve Assembly - TBi
MLV100160L is an Idle Air Control Valve Assembly - TBi fitted to the throttle body of 2.5 KV6 petrol Freelander models for fast-idle control. The valve regulates bypass airflow through the throttle body to raise and stabilise idle speed during engine warm-up and when auxiliary loads or the automatic transmission require a higher idle. It modulates the amount of air that bypasses the throttle plate to alter idle speed without driver throttle input; correct operation supports stable cold running and consistent idle behaviour. Replacement should match the throttle body configuration specified for automatic transmission models without cruise control.
