The Bluefin Map is not transferable so you're probably better leaving it on it.

Me too! Mostly because I had a fuel injector failure on the way home from holiday on Friday which left us stranded 90 miles from home.  :cry:

Had the diverter valve out today and it all looked as new so that will stay in. I've got a 'G' revision diaphragm type, I'm aware there were problems with the diaphragms on the 'C' revision so a lot of people changed to the 'D' piston type. Not sure if there'd be any benefit going from a G to a D though.

Ordered a new PCV valve 06H 103 495 AD (£78.20) and breather pipe 06J 103 213 E (£22.40) which it's advised to change as well due to the likelihood of broken tabs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQEciqR1ST8. Next day delivery so will be able to fit them tomorrow.
Asked about buying this today from VW dealer for my 2010 model. Oddly being told mine would be a 06H 103 495 D for a new one and the car would be fitted with a A version from the factory.
 When I looked at the one on the car it was version E.

Haven't ordered yet as bit confused.  :sad:

Have you had the car from new Snoopy? Ie there's no chance it was changed before your ownership?

Unfortunately my ETKA isn't working at present otherwise I'd have a look at numbers for you. If I manage to get it working I'll have a check..

Booked it in for a minor service and an MOT.  The dealer originally said it would cost £220 or something, but I pointed out that the website said it would only be £199.  They thought about it for a while and confirmed the lower price.
