Forge BOV problem. + Coilover questions
SL03 JOE:
hi there, I've fitted a Forge blow of valve to my MK5 GTI, i think its either been fitted incorrectly or its not working properly?
its hisses when i pull away and it all makes a hiss when ever you take your foot off the throttle, even if your doing like 5mph! :signLOL:
it hisses when u release throttle then stops when you reapply it, but the if you don't it can hiss for up to 15 seconds! and comes to a sudden stop!
i didn't know whether to try the uprated spring or have it remapped and see if it resolves the solution?
Is there anybody in the Essex area that would be able to just have a quick look at it for me, i mean i'll sort you out a few ££s for ya trouble.
its really starting to annoy me and i may up end up just purchasing a Recirculating valve and sell the BOV if its ok.
Also peoples reviews on Pro sport coilys?
also which coilovers lower the Gti's the most without a stupid price tag!?

This does happen with the Forge spacer, I have never liked them.
For good coilovers you need to look at spending £800+ at least. Bilstein B16, KW, H7R all offer nice kits.

Its not just the spacer its a complete new BOV? i think i may get the Recirc, but can u still hear it?
+ Will the sound change after remap?
Coilys: Im not really looking to spend that much on coilovers really, it looks like im going to have to look for some second hand in this case.

You don't a BOV, you probably have the Forge Diverter Valve with Optional Forge spacer which makes those silly hissing noises.
Simply take the spacer out and job done :happy2:
SL03 JOE:
theres no spacer mate, its just a complete unit, not spacer. been talking to few people tonight and it seems that i have the wrong spring in it.
so going to try that then hopefully it will be sorted. :signLOL:
