Hi mate, Have you tested it to see if the bimetallic plate closes when applying 12v current. You can plug it in, put the ignition on and shine a torch through it and see if it closes. If it's in a closed position when cold, the you can loosen the nut, using a picking tool, you can adjust it (to see a hole) and hold in position and tighten the nut.

This link may help as the Porsche has a similar AAV.

Hi Brinz thanks for the info👍 But I had already bench tested it! 
It had a very small 2mm hole in it when cold but did close when I put 12v across it! And the slide did open right up when I moved it with a pick!! So I soaked it for about 12 hours in carb cleaner and then blasted it out with an airline then I attempted to adjust it with the little nut but don't ask me how???I did managed to snap it off! Heavy handed Oaf!!!
