Title: diverter valve
Post by: Howardvwgolf on March 22, 2010, 05:43:42 pm: does anyone have a price for the latest revision of the dv (revision D i believe) and also a part number please?
also is it relatively simple to swap with the right tools?

Price - Â£46.01 including VAT and 8.5% trade discount,
Fitting- All you need are some axel stands, decent light source and a 5mm allen key. With regards to fitting it's a simple job just a royal pain in the arse to get to the bolts and the DV.

Luke.

Post by: Nickyboy on April 01, 2010, 06:40:15 pm: Sweet. I'll open the box when I pick it up, easy to distinguish from the G type with the orange diaphragm.

Post by: VWellsy on April 01, 2010, 06:44:07 pm: Is the revision D as good a replacement as a Forge DV. I'm looking at changing mine soon and one is obviously cheaper than the other?!

Advice appreciated :smiley:

Post by: VWellsy on April 01, 2010, 10:47:35 pm: Thanks for that matey, I had a look through the search and I'll b going down the OEM route.

Looks like no difference in performance, 1/3 of the price and no maintenance... No brainer really.
Cheers :happy2:

Post by: jmspear on April 07, 2010, 10:06:04 pm: I haven't done the diverter valve yet (have one on the garage shelf ready to do next weekend) but i have changed the turbo back exhaust pipe and the answer was no for this so don't see how the diverter is any different. i did find the downpipe much easier to remove from the turbo if the engine cover was off, could get at the turbo from top and bottom, this made the downpipe removal a breeze, now I have an ITG fitted, is it easier to access the diverter valve from above or is it all from below?

I did remove the heat shield from the rack which helped with access to the turbo from below.
