If it's not binding, the scoring is no problem. The one in my 4kq is badly 
scored, and I know for sure the one in my V8 was slightly as well. Nothing 
to worry about as long as it rotates freely. Just clean it well, spray a bit 
of lubricant in there, and you are good to go. If it's binding, email me and 
I'll get one out to you. Though, there is a decent chance any of my used 
ones are scored as well.

I don't think it was used on any other models, though possibly the early A8 
engines may share the design.

Well got a chance to take off the idle valve not sure if this is called an 
ISV or what on the V8 but the one on the front of the manifold. It was very 
dirty after a judicious soaking I discovered it is scored so I need one has 
anyone got an extra they would like to part with? Is this valve common to 
other Audi models?
