Edition 30 diverter valve revision "G" NOW FITTED AND WHAT A DIFFERENCE!

[Saintsteve]

What bout the RS3 DV?  Heard someone was running one of those...

I would be looking on an RS audi owners site for that, not a mk5 golf forum. After all, it might be a different one for a 2.5 litre engine , and not the 2.0tfsi.

Quite possibly, but it was posted on this site not so long ago mate, certainly worthy of comment.

True true

Oh please!!!   

D has never been been the correct Diverter valve for the BYD engine!!!!!!!!!!!

G is the one, and only OEM DV you need.

D was tried because of its more durable looking workings (plastic), without using a rubber type diagram which has been known over time to split, or over wear and tear is accelerated if the car is running more boost with an engine remap.

But it's since been proved by a tuner, that the D isn't as good as first thought and that G made better power delivery.(R-Tech)

It all started from someone saying there's another revision from another engine which had the same bolt holes , from another engine/turbo.

Just use Revision G.

Does the engine cover need to be removed to get the back of the 3 bolts? I've got an ed 30 and the front 2 bolts are accessible but seems like the other one is hidden by the engine cover.

No need to remove thee engine cover.. you can get to it with the cover on

One of the screws is hard up against something else, can't see any way to get at it! Any tips or useful would be great. Sorry for the newbieness. I'm fairly competent with odd jobs like this usually!

Hi

Is this something that can be easily sourced through a main dealer for the £33 or is there another place you recommend ordering from?

Thanks

Mat

You can then move the DV and hose so you can get to the other bolts.

Looks easy now, cheers I'll get that done after work

Not enough clearance with my ratchet screwdriver with the engine cover on so I guess I'll need to use a standard ratchet too clear it.

Why does my local vw tell me they can't order me the g valve as that part number is not coming up in his system and he can only order the one specified formy vehicle.?is the g the latest valve and hasn't been superseded since?
