Astra 1.6 16v (1999)? (so I can change it)

It's located at the rear of the engine, on the passenger side. Before you
change it, remove it and check for a sticking pintle. More often than not, a
piece of carbon will lodge in the base causing it to stick, and cleaning is
straight forward.

Fixed! Found it, cleaned it and now the fault has disappeared!
