Title: Boost leak from diverter valve
Post by: Sammy on May 04, 2012, 11:41:34 pm

I floored my car today and realised as soon as it shifts to gear 2 there is a pause for about a second and then power again and slight hesitation, also felt down on power it seems to me that the diverter is leaking, has anyone experienced this?
I have DSG, stage 2 remap and diverter D btw  :smiley:

I have no logs no but I know diverter is about 9 months old from AMD supplied and fitted but how do I know it wasn't second hand? I don't

I would get it checked mate as it could be a number of things.dont discount diverter valve or anything else for that matter. Think u may need a logging session to find out the cause. Keep us posted as have a d revision on mine but no leaks yet. :wink:
