Yes, if you need to replace your DV rev. G. You can wait for the OEM DV to get damaged from wear.

Will the GFB DV+ fair up any better against WMI though? I thought it was the solenoids that fail on them from memory? If so, I can't see how the DV+ will make much difference to the life of the solenoid since both use pressure equalisation to the rear of the piston to hold it closed, therefore WMI can and will get through to the rear of the piston and in to the solenoid.

I would say the diaphragm itself fails and not the solenoid as my dv has been on since the cars birth 2005 and it's a rev B  :surprised:  just my 2p worth as ive not read anyone's thread saying the dv solenoid has failed.

Sometimes the solenoid does fail, so does the spring. When I was up at r-tech the other nikki told me to check the spring on my REV G which isn't very old.

It's posible but I've got the uprated spring with my dv + so hoping it should be fine.

Methanol injected pre-TB on K04 cars is known to kill the solenoid rather than split the diaphragm.

Methanol is highly concentrated stuff.

WMI systems are meant to be great for cooling aren't they?. didn't know they messed up the dv so learnt something new today  :happy2:
