RR how long was your 1st forge DV on for?


....Since July 2007. I had one of the first batch of 10! So, for at least 25k miles before recently upgraded. Never given any problem.

just spoken to a very very helpful guy at forge motorsport UK. he said that they have had "a few" DVs fail in the same way as mine sounds (same symptoms) so he has asked me to take it off and have a look at it, hes also sending me a service kit for the valve including piston, spring and lube!

so if anybody else experiences this now we know why!!  :happy2: this foums great!!!  :happy2: :happy2:

(probs speaking too soon as its probs not even the problem  :laugh:)

 :jumping: :jumping: :jumping: ITS SORTED!!!!!!!! :jumping: :jumping: :jumping:

so i went home from work, took the negative charge off my battery, went up stairs to "relax" for 30 mins. Came back outside, connected my battery and took her for a drive  :evilgrin: and ive fallen back in love with my gti  :love: :love:

All the way through the rev range in EVERY GEAR it pulls like a cheep hooker in bangkok!!  :evilgrin: it feels faster than ive ever know it feel, which is great!!! (probably thanks to lucas TBE  :drool:) it sounds awesome!!  :happy2:

So i now suggest that everybody goes outside and disconects their battery for half an hour and report back to see if its any quicker  :laugh:

Glad to hear it Joe.

I've done this in the past (disconnect the battery, then hammer it) and found that initially it is quick, but then as the ECU adapts it starts to become back to normal. But if your turbo is back boosting to 20psi, then I guess it rules out any DV issues for the time being!  :happy2:

the top just unscrews by hand revealing the piston.

It's not widely known but forge do have a service kit for the dv that consists of a new piston, two rubber O rings and a small amount of lube.

Lol, I'm sorry mate..  :sad: I meant it as a good thing that it sounds simply an ECU glitch rather than DV problems  :smiley: :smiley:

Bloody hell - all this happened so quick!

Just a note it is best to service the Forge every so often, more so on the K03 due to the heat - and as joe experienced forge will send you a service kit FOC.  The grease is a high temp grease so dont use any old stuff if you do it yourself.  Was the same with the 007P on the 1.8T.

Glad its running sweet again Joe.

chris was right!! :sad: :sad: :sad: it ran awesome for an hour, and now it keeps going backwards and forwards!!! WTF!!! its like themap is going on the coming off then going back on, all within the same drive, for example i drive with foot to floor in 2nd and it goes to 20psi, then il drop down to 30 and repeat method and it will only boost to 10psi!!!! WTF IS GOING ON!  :angry015:
