   You`ll find mate that all saxo`s suffer from rev`s problems sometime in their life its a common problem.The part isn`t too expensive to replace(don`t go to citroen)Clean the icv 1st & see if it makes a difference.

   Also check the butterfly is adequately lubed, i found mine to be full of gunk causing it to stick slightly allowing air to pass through.
   
   Took it all apart cleaned it to a shine and refit it, helped with my problem quite a lot, be warned though its a bugger to get it back in and positioned correctly, needs to be 100% or wont close properly at all !
