LÖWE automobil® - Anybody have experience with their parts?
I know they are a German manufacturer (and thats about it) and saw this idle control valve that was quite inexpensive relative to Porsche/Bosch prices. Any thoughts?

I bought one when I was having an idle problem and trying figure out what my problem was and I bought one to see if it was my ISV. It is currently installed and is working fine. My idle problem was it would just randomly increase by 200 rpm and for me when I reinstalled my old TPS it solved the problem. Recently, there were 2 other 87+ owners experiencing the same problem I had but what I did didn't solve their high idle. As for the Lowe, I like it so far but we'll see how long it will last vs the Bosch.

Mine works fine- considering they are a German outfit and the thing seems virtually indistinguishable from the stock item, what's the betting Bosch buy them from this outfit and stick them in a Bosch box and double the price point?

I sell both the early 85/86 and the later 87+ ISV made by Lowe and had one issue over about 300 sold.
Good economy choice over the more expensive Bosch units.
