Felt this go pop in the week, t'was p***ing boost like a good-un! Luckily I had a type-G in reserve for a quick swap-a-roo.
No fault codes/warning lights (although VCDS logging or a boost gauge would have obviously shown the drop), just the butt dyno and keen hearing in my diagnostic toolbox!

:happy2:
-
what sort of mileage had that done?
-
28K, 19k of which it has been mapped... its two and a half years young.
I don't see the point of the Forge one for a K03, unless you want a boost gauge.

Thats not to bad at all really is it, they do reckon the later revision is much better as well. I have never had an issue with a later type DV on the mapped ED30 I had and on the mapped S3 I have now :happy2: Although i did use the Forge 1 on my regular mapped GTI as a precauition as much as anything :smiley:

Is the G revision the new piston type valve??
My valves were blowing every 4-6k miles on my K03 GTI until I went Forge..
-
think i need to check mine, just unbolt and look at it?
-
Yes Steve, even easier to find on yours I believe?
Dunno about the ins and outs of a Ver G Jonny, but if I got 2.5 years out of a C and at 1/5th of the price of a Forge - if the G is better, then I ain't upgrading!

x2 I kept blowing B and C revision gauges until I swapped for the forge unit. This G unit (haha) is meant to be very reliable though.
-
i couldnt see any markings on it saying the VER. ?? :scared:

Newest DV revision D : 06H 145 710 D
how do i post pictures?? :confused:
-
upload the pix to a img host (google it)
use the picture button.... and insert the link...
I looked at my dv and cannot see any model, rev, ver... nothing???
-
Should be printed on the DV in white lettering.
Mine's got the VW and Audi symbol and underneath it:
06F 145 710 C <---- C being the version.
5900 110 7044
7.00415.03 APG

Oooh nasty!!
I can understand your methodology around keeping with the OEM DV's, but it would just niggle me knowing there maybe a fault developing in the DV. (a bit like my ARB brackets :sick:)
