Had my new turbo fitted and new DV valve fitted last weekend. I cannot believe I have been driving round in what felt like a 1.6 litre car for over a year. When I first bought it I was quite underwhelmed with my GTI. Didn't know what all the fuss was about.

Turned out I had a HUGE crack in the turbocharger and the DV valve was ripped to shreds! There was literally nothing left of it!

Alex at AKS tuning replaced everything for me and OMFG I can't believe the difference!! Now I see why people love the GTI so much!
Big smile on my face now when driving it and i'm also thinking of going to stage 1 at R-tech very soon! :)

^^^^ No.

The piston Diverter Valve (Revision D) can leak and has been superseded by the newer (and latest and stonger) diaphragm version, the Revision G. If your Revision D is fine, leave it for now but if you add more power to your car then get it changed.

Just had the most painful conversation ever with the parts guy at the local stealer, near had a stand up row about the DV and how i was going to have to buy a turbo... Why do these people get these jobs?

However im getting one ordered come pay-day even though it feels quick enough  :happy2:

Might be sales staff that have filled in for someone, which will tell you any old cockslap; usually Parts (in my experience) have been pretty good and friendly too.

Not really sure what that means (sounds painful) but if your local main dealer provide this as a service they're obviously very hands on!

Unfortunately it was the parts guy that's been there 20 odd years. Stupid old sod....

Was KO3 car jacked up and reaching, was so simple.

Now this may be a stupid question and forgive me. But does the 1.9TDI mk 5 golf have a DV as well?
