I'm sure I saw some dirt on it in 1 or 2 of your pictures.

.... Now that's the sort of thing that Greeners has been known to do - A bit of late night cleaning.

Cheers Robin, glad someone knows what I'm trying to recommend.

it would work TC, but as what I've been told along with lots of people that run certain rolling road days, it's wise to up rate the fuel pump when running Revo 2 on the k04. Not sure what boost request is on ko3 as a comparison on the same named map on the GTi variant.

Why is it wise when unlike poofin you have the ability to adjust the boost, timing and fueling for you own car with Revo  

Adjusting the settings, is then trying to get the best out of it, Uprate the fuel pump then allows you to run more aggressive setting to achieve bigger number chasers.

Poo chips as you call it Steve, is much turned down, and perhaps for people with less deeper pockets and less tread on their front tyres !!

Took my DV out this afternoon and its in looks in good condition, i couldn't see any rips in the orange diaphragm. Is there any point in swapping it out for the revision D?

I replaced mine this afternoon, after getting the feeling the car didn't feel as sharp as it has been, tiny bit flat, but not think anything was majorly wrong.
I have never removed my diverter valve completely in 55k miles, removed it today to find a 5-6mm well worn split in the diapragm ,which has turned into a hole !!!

I've always had a warning in vcds about my emissions control light bring up an error of Bank 1 lean. implausible signal below threshold warning, which I've always thought I had a possible faulty lambda sensor, which I was gonna change to try fix it.I never really thought much of it. so just left it be. It's been like this for at a guess, nearly a year.

replaced the Diverter valve today, with again the thanks to Mr vRStu having a spare new diverter valve in his toolbox, as the dealers didn't have any in stock as per usual.

Car now, although always was fast, is now a complete animal !! So much smoother, dam quick, has also improved my cruising mpg by at least 3-4mpg.Car even starts better, and less lumpy.

My error on vcds has now also cured. So must of been low boost that was causing implausible readings at the Pre cat lambda sensor.

[rich83]

Steve did you just replace it with a diaphragm version or the new revision?

[Saint Steve]

I put back in the same version that was fitted originally. Revision C

Vw didn't have rev D in stock.

I payed Stu a double decker and a packet of salted peanuts for his spare rev C to get me outa trouble.

Shame VW dont accept snacks for payment!
