Standard DV
« on: 02 December 2014, 21:01 »
Sorry if this is against forum rules but I've posted in the wanted section but I guess that's only helpful if the mk4 guys look in there. I wondered if anyone has anyone got a standard (working) DV that they have lying around spare they could lend me, or sell on the cheap. I'm having boost issues ATM and want to rule out the DV and mine is long gone.

If anyone does then reply here or pm and it would be greatly appreciated. If you're local then even better.

Don't think they are that dear from the dealers - £25.00+ or something (someone else may be able to advise)

What issues are you extactly having?

If you can get hold of a pressure tester of even a pump with a guage, you can pump it up a couple of psi and see the DV is holding or leaking.

My thoughts anyways

It's sticking to start with when on boost then eventually opens. I wanted it on the cheap while I wait for the service kit to come from forge.

Thanks for your input though :)
