its not big if you know what your doing, its about a 30min job, the first time i did it though it took me 3 hours!! :grin:

the DV is located on the side of the turbo on the KO3 cars, so you need to either put it on a ramp or axel stands. then theres 3 screws holding it in, and a sensor to unplug. once youve done the screwes it will just pull out.

or you can take the wheel and arch liner off and do it from the side, but ive never done it this way.


If you need any games consoles or games, accessories, etc etc, PM me for my best price,

If it took you 3 hours it will take me a week...I think I'll give it to someone who knows what they are doing :happy2:

How can you tell if you have the S3 lowers?

Also if you are Leeds based can put you in touch with a great VW mechanic who does loads of work on the side.

DV would only cost a few £££ in labour.
No Golf anymore. 
Enjoyed the last five years of ownership of Mk5 & 6 GTIs.
Plus an excellent forum for knowledge and new ways to deplete the bank account.
Thank You Everyone.
