Revision G DV
« on: January 31, 2017, 10:15:37 am »
When VW to order a DV (Dump Valve) gave him the part number I was given for Revision G. Parts guy says there is 2 types & saying Revision D is the latest for later Gti. Has he got this wrong?

Rev G & D have both been available for ages.   Some dealers will just order the number you give them, and some are jobsworths and insist on following what it says on their screen.

G is the type latest with the rubber diaphragm that is still prone to breaking, but people like it because it seals best.

The D is the plastic version that is fitted to newer cars that won't wear out.

Your choice!

@Shamm yes - fit and forget part and no need to mess about once it's done.
