DV changed....OH MY GOD!!!!

[swgti]

Finally got around to changing this on Sat and replaced it with a Rev G, as you can see by the pics it was absolutely knackered and I'm actually wondering now if the car has even been on full boost since I got it because Christ on a bike what a difference.....I was supposed to be getting rid later in the year but I am going to struggle now, I've just fallen in love with it all over again.

That's in shocking condition! Bet it feels like you've just had it mapped.

[n0ble]

get it mapped now :-)

[olufsen]

Not mapped!?  Woo, got some fun to come :)

I did mine a couple of weeks ago, totally different car now

I'm having mine changed at the weekend to revision G and also a new turbo as mine has a crack in it. I'm hoping this will improve performance massively!

:D

I want to know if mine is 'cracked'. I have no fault codes, does this mean that my DV is still good, or can this also happen without causing faultcodes?

[Rustybear]

I was thinking that, how do you know when the DV is ***** or is it just advised to do it? What was your motor running like before replacement?

[MC71]

For a £35 part its worth changing as a precautionary measure, yours is probably going to be the original one (unless you've already changed it) so its well worth it IMHO.

Look at the rubber diaphragm.... if its torn you need a new one.

[Timvgti]

But CAN or CAN'T you see it in vcds?

[olufsen]

Boost requested, Boost Actual is a good indication no doubt.

Is there a vague idea of what mileage these are expected to fail at?  Mine's only at 60k and seems to pull lovely and strong (though I've just gone from a PD130 to a 2.0 TFSI)

[beetie]

What about if you have a rev D. Do they still split, aren't they plastic and not rubber?

Might still change it if it's recommended, especially as it's so accessible on an ed30

[MC71]

^^^^ they don't split, they leak.
