So, I broke my aux air valve trying to tighten the adjustment nut. Doesn't look fixable. Anybody know where I can get another? They seem pretty unavailable. Anybody know of any that are interchangeable? The official part number is bosch 0280140101 I've found a bunch of other bosch parts that also start with 0280141 and just end in a different 3 digits. Anybody know if any of these work?
