Can anyone help me with the part number for the IMRC for a MK3 ? And rough cost of a new one ? Cheers

That price really hurts

I eventually decided to do away with the IMRC altogether, and just jammed the secondaries open with a twig and a tie-wrap in the mechanism on the end. However, before doing that I was researching the IMRC for a certain V6 Mazda which looks pretty much identical. All the photos I've seen of it have it branded as "Ford". If I wasn't so happy with having no IMRC, I'd probably have taken a punt on the "Mazda" part which is substantially cheaper.

 

Am just mentioning it in case you want to research it yourself:

Were the two parts numbers the same?
As you were essentially dealing with one company Ford/Mazda there is no reason that the two parts werent actually the same identical part.

When looking for Ford replacement parts its often cheper to buy them branded as Jaguar, Volvo or Mazda depending on what car needs the part.

Got a quote from my own local ford motor factors of €394. Gonna get the transistor replaced instead.

Works out €39 less. I'll give the transistor method a go first.

Have noticed a lot of older threads stating that the IMRC unit cost around £145 - £160. Would it be normal for parts to double in price within 5 to 10 years ?

Hi, I know this is an old thread but just wondered if there are any drawbacks when you jam the secondaries open, also is it a difficult job and how do you do it? Many thanks!!!
