Title: DV Diverter Valve - the lowdown
Post by: RobboGTI on March 13, 2012, 03:46:29 pm
Hi guys just wondering if somebody could give me the lowdown on what this part is, and why it fails.
Also are new Diverter valves more reliable or is it something that we may end up changing all the time.
I only ask because i may change it anyway if it is considered an 'upgrade' from the last.

Many thanks in advance :-)

read here dude.

OEM is a diaphram and splits easily, where the new one is a piston type.
