Nice to see the new DV helping with the MPG:




My 18 mile journey to work, with 20 roundabouts! Once pre cat removed reckon I'll get low 40's  :ashamed:

I could only dream of 39mpg I get 32 at best! .. What is the DV thing that you changed? all knew to the golf so not sure what it is, so if its worth changing I shall!

Cars looking great! Are you running AP coil overs?

Was a good run, since fitting the diverter valve (DV) I have seen it go from averaging 30's to mid high 30's so worth changing it. Lots of threads on here about it, is the valve that fits on the turbo. Pictures on previous page on this thread showing how I fitted it.

Yes running AP coilovers.
