DV Changed....wow...didn't realise it had gone!
« on: February 14, 2015, 04:54:38 pm »
So I've had my GTI a week and I've been impressed with it's power and general drive.

The idle was rough so ordered a PCV from VW, and thought I may as well do the DV at the same time (for the sake of £40)

Removed the old one and was greeted with this :)





Anyway PCV fixed the idle, and now with a new DV the thing is even better! I didn't noticed a massive difference at first, but then when I dropped it down a few cogs to over take earlier it was a very nice surprise :)

Also stuck a Pipercross panel filter in for good measure :)

I bet there are hundreds of GTIs down on power because the owners are non the wiser  :surprised:

Glad you got it sorted Phil  :happy2:

It's all thanks to this Forum, without it I'd not have fixed it this quick :)

Need to curb my spending now...getting a little carried away :)

I've never checked mine...now next job on the list, sometimes turbo seems to kick in slightly different to others, wondering if this is why!

I used a long reach 5mm allen drive with a 10mm ratchet spanner over the end of it.

Without a huge selection of tools I can imagine it's quite awkward. I still had to squeeze between the hub and arch though, got stuck a couple of times :)

I had the wheel off and accessed it from the side...it is a bit of a squeeze, but got there in the end.
