water thermo valve broken :(
i just removed the water thermo valve from my s4 t2 throttle body and the inside piston is stuck (part number 13-980A-N304). i tested it as per the FSM and it just seems clogged
is there any way to clean/rebuild this plug and if not, where can i buy a new one from other then mazdatrix? mazdatrix is pretty expensive at $60.59 each.
thanks

haha was w/ James yesterday as you were texting him.
Here's something that might work, if you have access to one? Ultrasonic cleaner. They can be bought at harbor freight for ~$40 I believe, which is cheaper than the part, IF it works. Good luck!
Also, I wonder how much different the part is compared to an NA TB part? Maybe they're interchangeable.
