Diverter Valve Rev G or D?

[dan_gti]

I apologise as i know this has probably been solved many times before.
I have a stock mk5 gti which I am planning on having remapped. In preparation I have ordered a Pipercross panel filter and plan on removing the pre-cat from the DP.

Finally I wanted to make sure I had the correct diverter valve in place. The photo below is of my diverter valve which I believe is a rev G?
Is this the most recent revision or should I change to the rev D valve with the piston?



Cheers

That is a revision G. The part number is the second line of text and the revision letter is always at the end.

Don't bother with the rev D.

Heard and read lots of reviews that G is the one to go for, including Nick at R-Tech. Out of interest how did you find locating it? Front wheel off job?

Have D ATM but want to try G, when I can be bothered to lift the car.

If your G has been in a while it might be worth taking off to inspect or replace...

Just jacked the drivers side of the car up, put a stand under wishbone, got under car from front and it's located just behind the driveshaft. Looks tricky to remove purely due to inaccessibility.

I'm thinking I probably will take it off to inspect it. Just wondering what the benefit would be of having G over D as I believe the rev D is the most up to date and robust revision?

Wrong..it's not the the most up to date. It's not fitted to the 2.0tfsi. G is the correct version to fit.

D is the most expensive, but have been known to leak from new, G seems the best all round, but will need replacing at some point.

Think i'll just order a rev G then and replace it anyway as the car is almost 5 years old now. Saves taking it apart to inspect and finding it's knackered and having to refit it.

Thanks

I've tried both D and G, personally prefer the rev G. My car doesn't seem to like the D, doesn't feel smooth upon gear changes, like it's sticking or something...

So what would have been on the car from new?  I have a 57 plate ED30.  In other words, were any supplied with the Rev G fitted?  Or was this a post production upgrade issued by VW for DV failures?

Ah, OK.  So a mod I thought I needed that I actually don't.  Result!

Thanks all.
