Title: DV Changed....wow...didn't realise it had gone!
Post by: Phil_H on February 14, 2015, 04:54:38 pm: So I've had my GTI a week and I've been impressed with it's power and general drive.

The idle was rough so ordered a PCV from VW, and thought I may as well do the DV at the same time (for the sake of £40)

Removed the old one and was greeted with this :)

Anyway PCV fixed the idle, and now with a new DV the thing is even better! I didn't noticed a massive difference at first, but then when I dropped it down a few cogs to over take earlier it was a very nice surprise :)

Also stuck a Pipercross panel filter in for good measure :)

:happy2:

Glad you got it sorted Phil :happy2:

Post by: gctdi00001 on February 15, 2015, 10:34:18 am: I've never checked mine...now next job on the list, sometimes turbo seems to kick in slightly different to others, wondering if this is why!

Post by: Phil_H on February 15, 2015, 02:17:51 pm: I used a long reach 5mm allen drive with a 10mm ratchet spanner over the end of it.

Without a huge selection of tools I can imagine it's quite awkward. I still had to squeeze between the hub and arch though, got stuck a couple of times :)

Post by: Phil_H on February 15, 2015, 03:37:43 pm: I had the wheel off and accessed it from the side...it is a bit of a squeeze, but got there in the end.

Post by: Phil_H on February 15, 2015, 06:11:51 pm: When I rang VW the parts guy said I needed a "D", I asked for a "G", took a bit of chat to convince him I knew what one I wanted even though it was not listed for my '55' Car ;)
