Should I fit a g revision DV.

[RedRobin]

.
Latest from JKM this morning:

"The old green rubber one was a different part number - that valve began 06F The new valve begins 06H. As far as we can see the new valve is the same as the 'D' but with out the fragile back outer casing as per the picture"

The C is listed as the latest dv for the tsi and the fsi is sill listed as being the G. I would presume the cage has been removed as possibly being the cause of the whistle noise these types make sometimes

I am glad this thread is helping to clear things up...

^^^^ thinking the same thing

As a precaution, I also want to replace my diverter valve.
I've never replaced it, bought the car in 2010 and I don't know if the first owner ever replaced it.
The mk5 gti is from 06-2005.
Everything is stock, except a stage 1 ABT remap.

How to check if my old DV is 'faulty'?
If is is faulty, is there always a faultcode (I have Vagcom and have no faultcodes).
What version DV (complete partnumber) to order at VW?
Is there a how-to, to replace the DV on the original location?

Ive used Rev D (which replaced the 06F C) when i got my eddy 3 years ago, then changed to a forge dv and now am going to try the Rev G....will give you the heads up after ive taken her for a few runs, i'm stage 2+ REVO.

Best way to tell is to just take it out and check it for any splits. You have the older diaphragm version I imagine as your GTI is the earlier Mk5, so you "could" go with latest piston one, Revision D or as many of us are now doing you could go with the Revision G, more than enough for stage 1 IMHO. If it goes pop, there only £50 ish for D and I think it's even cheaper for the Revision G.

Part number  for Revision G is.     06F 145 710 G

If you want the Revision D, it's     06H 145 710 D


You might find this thread helpful for changing it and diagnosis.

Hope this helps.

I thought the D was still    06F 145 710 D

but you might aswell get the 06H 145 710 C

Got my D from eBay, the fella is still selling them, part number from on the side of valve is 06H 145 710 D.  Less than £50 as well, been selling them for months and really good (nothing to do with me)!!

Thank you so much!
I'm going to buy a new diaphragm 'G' version, because I read that some say the piston 'D' version is maybe less prone to failure but doesn't feel as lively as a diaphragm version (less boost).
Going to check my original dv if its torn.

Unless u REALLY know wat u r doing, id get a Specialist to do it!

Its 3 allen bolts you really don't need to take it to a specialist, ed30 is even easier you don't even need to go under the car.

I didn't fit a g either the original one off my 05 car, I don't have cds logs but i have the polar fis and see boost and n75 in real time and the diaphram type makes higher boost levels and picks up boost quicker than a d.

It's so easy, that I'd hate to see someone paying to have this done! It's a 5 minute job if you know where you're looking - if you've got a stock undertray you can just reach under the car and do it.

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.
