Title: Revision D Diverter Valve
Post by: Vdub13799 on October 15, 2011, 01:58:49 pm

Car is due a service in a 1000 miles and is standard, should I change this whilst everything else is getting done? Thanks

I changed mine and noticed no difference in performance. I would leave it if it's working ok.

As above, I only upgraded due to my original have a split diaphragm.  Also if you have an ed30 the dv is at the front if the engine so a 5 minute job to swap.

Done mine the other day, only took half hour. Had a rip in it and it was a rev c on it so as its 05 plate I think its not the 1st time its been replaced

I'd replace it as a matter of precaution if you're going to get a remap, otherwise if you are on the stock map and it appears to be running OK just leave it.

Is it the same part number for the ED30 and standard GTi D/V?
I don't suppose you know of any fitting guides to change them over on an ED30?

Thanks

I believe its now a standard part on this engine, part number is 06H 145 710 D

With the ED30 i think its just a case of removing the engine cover then undoing 3 bolts to remove

Not a bad call that, thought mine was the cause of my hesitation/ stutter so bought the D revision (£53 later) and after getting the old old version out it looked fine...plus a bit of a pain to get to on normal gti as you probably have read.

Is VW likely to be the cheapest place to buy one? I noticed Awesome are selling them for £52.79...
