Hi all, I replaced the DV on my 05 GTI the other day original was a B revision and had no obvious signs of wear to suggest there were any issues, only thing of note was an oily residue.
Reason I am telling everyone is i have noticed an improvement in pickup and less hesitation to pull away after lift off say when rolling up to a round about. Car is a DSG and the 1st gear to 2nd gear shift is also now how I would have always expected it to be smooth and without hesitation when engine and gearbox is cold, I can only assume this is due to the shift point being at around the maximum torque figure and as the turbo would be spooling up.
Has anyone else who has moved to the Rev D DV noticed similar affects?
-
What year did they swap?
-
Just a quick question mate, where did you get your dv from? And did you fit it yourself?
-
What year did they swap?
they didnt come out the factory on any GTI's. This DV was designed for the tsi engine but has now become the replacement part for all tfsi and tsi engines when they fail

Has anyone else who has moved to the Rev D DV noticed similar affects?
I noticed a big effect on performance after changing mine (MY06 Rev B). I too had very little damage to the old DV. The car is so much better now it has been changed. :happy2:
-
Cost and part number please?
-
Lots of existing threads on this if you want info :happy2:
-
Is... 06H 145 710 D the same part number for the GTI and Edition?

Yes I think so :happy2:
-
Is the oem part best to get or one like a forge one?
-
Most places now (including Awesome) say get the OEM one as its sufficient and provides reliable performance under high boost.
-
Cool, thanks.

Replaced the part number richwig mentioned, cost from dealer was £51 inc VAT but that was a retail price and had to be ordered in. Fitted the part myself I had the wheels off as I was cleaning and sealing them. And with car on axle stands got under neath and other than being a contortionist it was fairly simple.
I was a little disappointed when I saw that the existing one wasn't damaged but now very happy I went to the trouble, as it seems to have solved a number of issues some which I thought were gear box related. :happy2:

What 'issues' were you having?
-
I might give mine a change actually, so many people with the same year as mine seam have have nothing but improvements.
The part number in this thread is correct right?
Thanks :D

What 'issues' were you having?
Issues were, up-shift in D mode on the DSG from 1st to 2nd when pottling around was less than smooth with higher revs the issue didnt exist but natural chnage point on the DSG was between 1700 and 2100. All other gears shifted smoothly like you would expect from DSG.
Other issue that has improved since changing is when on lift off coasting up to a roundabout or junction followed by moderate acceleration I used to have no power before a sudden surge, even if the kickdown engaged and dropped a single cog (so on the seperate shaft) there was hesitation followed by a sudden surge. coasting off the throttle now seems to engage less engine breaking and on re-applying throttle the car picks up smoothly and quickly. Car is just so much better to drive.
Im not 100% yet but it seems to be using less petrol for similar driving bearing in mind it now wants to pull so much more that I have occasionally been taking advantage of it :grin:

^^^ this is exactly what I'm experiencing. However, having owned an automatic car I thought this was normal. I'm tempted to change my dv and see if it is any differant. Unless it could be something else?
