Is this the correct revision G Diverter Valve for my 2008 GTI? If anyone know anywhere cheaper where i can get it online please put me the right direction!

That one is correct. Can't think of anywhere else online, but a VW dealer might well be cheaper.

[GTI-Ross]

Yep thats the correct one.....if you look at the one sold, thats me    And it worked great

I got a G for £35 delivered a few months back - brand new from SEAT (David Hawthorne @ SERE Motors paid with PayPal)

vw is around 54 quid, wish I had seen that first!

[gigolo456]

that £54 you mention, you sure it wasnt the Revision D at that price?? I got a Rev G for about £38 frrom a dealer not so long ago!!

can both the revision D and G fit the 2008 gti, is one a better / revised part,
as the op says he didnt know it was ripped, my car seems fine but who knows,
any ideas on cost to fit by local garage or can i do it myself
thanks

Rev D would be best as it is a piston type so less chance of the heat from the turbo splitting the rubber.

Rev G would be better as it seals better but you would have to check it every year and its a fiddly job to do on a k03

Is this just as simple as swappin the old for the new part then job done? Or are VCDs needed to code the new part to prevent warning lights?

Thanks, craig.

Can anybody explain to me a few things. First what the hell are they, what do they do and where are they on the car? What comes as standard on a MK5 GTi 55 reg and would it be worth upgrading? If I did upgrade what would I notice?

[TomGTI]

Thanks all will be ordering it tonight, i actually found it cheaper if u go directly on to there website GermanAutoSpares and not though ebay its 29pound but i haven't looked up the delivery yet. 

I'll done a lot of research in to either revision G or D and chose to go with the G, I'm hoping to get her booked to to have eibach sport line springs fitted and while he was there though I may as well get the precat removed and replace the Diverter Valve too. Then hopefully a remap later on in the year.

A Diverter Valve is directly on ko3 turbos on the standard GTIs and it stops pressure being pushed into the engine/turbo when you take your foot off the accelerator so you don't cause problems it also holds the pressure at WOT and accelerating

Im sure some one will add more or correct me

It's just a mechanical swap. No coding is required.
