Should I fit a g revision DV.

[gigolo456]

Guess only simple if u know how, lol! I had that, pcv, and cam follower changed at same time and it took bout hour and a half and excess of a hundred quid! I could in no way have fitted these myself! :-(

Well for my 2005 GTi, it had to b up on ramps to have it changed, a good 45 min or so, and by a specialist! I understand that Ed30's r much easier and quicker to change...

Really! It's possible to change the one on my K03 in minutes on the driveway! Stick it on an axle stand, drop the undertray, unclip the plug, undo the 3 bolts and job done. Refitting is the reversal. It really is that easy.

You don't even need to do this.. I jacked up the drivers side, wheel off, arch liner out swap the DV's and put it all back

Guess this may be why i get the occasional fault code:

000665 - Boost Pressure Regulation: Control Range Not Reached
               P0299 - 002 - Lower Limit Exceeded - Intermittent

When driving hard

Pcv is also easy but cam follower bit more complex.  Doing all that shouldn't take a mechanic hour and a half wih ramps, but you have all the know wear points done.

Just out of curiosity does the G valve sound different from the diverter D as its a different system?

[micky 32]

Hmm, a bit worrying they have removed the cage on revision D. i wonder if there were a problem of them they breaking off over time? Wouldn't be good the debris hitting the turbo blades

I'm running my D over 3 years now and holds boost as requested.

Swapped my diverter valve today from d to g.the car does seem to come on boost earlier with the g and car is more responsive low down.

Sure it's not in your head lol 

[badbwoy27]

Maybe then again my butt dyno is usually right

[micky 32]

Sure it's not in your head lol 

He may have a faulty one. My D even after 3 years meets requested boost on my ko4.

[badbwoy27]

Nope d wasn't faulty as made good peak power on Rtech rollers.the d diverter just seems more laggy on the road.now with g boost comes in earlier put top end wise still the same. It's a simple DIY job changing so all who have doubts just try changing it and c.

I fitted the G revision today and the car feels a lot perkier. It has a rock steady idle again and im seeing a few more mpgs. Normally on a stretch of road i got 26mpg and now it goes straight to 30 mpg on the same stretch. The mid range punch is back and its not laggy low down. There is a massive size difference in the piston lengths between the D and G. The D is about 7mm shorter so I dont think it makes as good a seal as the G. I wish I hadnt jumped on the D bandwagon 2 years ago and should have just stuck to the OE item for the car. Lesson learnt.

Definitely thinking of getting the G valve now, too many people giving the go ahead with positive results

Anyone wanna buy a rev D lol
