Title: Revision G DV Question
Post by: Juicetin on April 16, 2014, 05:00:33 pm

Is the Rev G diverter valve sturdier than the original Rev C on early Mk5 Gtis, ie. is the diaphragm bit itself beefier?  should it last longer than the Rev C ?

The revision G is the newest and strongest diaphragm type valve (like the revision C) but if you want it to last then get the revision D which is a piston type valve and should pretty much last forever.

Hope this helps.

Rev h is the newest - a different type to the g. G's are available and cheaper.

I didn't know there was a H now? I was at VW getting mine about 5 weeks ago and D or G were the only options.

I had a g fitted a few weeks ago. Happy with it not heard of any failures with them to date.

H exists, I believe it is more expensive but not sure what the benefits are...might be piston driven like the rev D.

There are many threads on this topic buddy

H is an allegedly improved piston type

Question is, is it suited to run with the AXX, BYD , CDL, or the BWA variant.

stick with a G  :wink:

I presume people are running G's with remaps without any problems ?

No issues, but I would inspect it at least once year as part of your service regime .
