ISV position

[stephenrs2]

Hi folks, call me stupid, but can someone confirm exactly where the ISV is on my RS2. If it is the thing I think it is, disconnecting it tonight allowed my car to start properly for the first time in a while.

What is the best way to clean it, soak in isopropynol alcohol?

Thanks
Steve
