Diverter Valve
« on: April 08, 2014, 06:46:19 pm »
I had been thinking I had a lack of power for the last couple of months but finally got round to running an auto scan at the weekend.

Sure enough there was a low boost error which pointed to the diverter valve.

Got it swapped today and oh my word the difference is amazing pulls like a train!!!   :happy2:

If you think you low on power get it checked out well worth it for £70!!

Surely it shouldn't cost 30 quid to fit it? Everyone says its a "2 second job" to check the DV.

Well... the least you are gonna be charged is 1/2 hour labour (unless you have a very friendly mechanic) so 30-40 fitting. 70 isnt that bad really

I did consider doing it myself but looked a bit awkward.

Didn't fancy getting under the car, deffo not a 2 second job on the k03!

So they charged me £25 labour which I didn't think was too bad?  :sad1:

Dont worry about it, thats a decent enough price, I think I paid about half an hours labour for mine. You wont really get it any cheaper unless you do it yourself or are on matey terms with a mechanic.
