Hi All,
I have had a problem with losing boost and I am pretty sure that it is a problem with the Diverter Valve so I have ordered a new one however the part number has now changed to 06H145710D (previously 06F145710G)
As you can see the new version does not seem to have a diaphragm? The outside is hard plastic and the inner grey colour piece rotates and depresses??
Any thoughts from anyone a little more technical?

Updated version as VW finally realised the original ones were not up to the job. Will fit and work with no issues.
-
think im going to have to change mine too, when i had it remapped they said it looked as if it was split, how much was the new one?
-
Revision 'D' diverter valve is about £46. I enquired about one a few weeks ago to go with my PCV fix.
-
ok cheers, is it going to be as much of a pain in the arse to fit as i can imagine? mine gives a nice subtle woosh sound as you let off, is the new one going to get rid of this? would be a shame as it sounds quite nice, not to chav like to subarus etc round here!

You need to jack the car up, but by all accounts it's not a hard job to DIY. There are just three bolts to put on IIRC?
A member 'Sambo' did it himself a while back and the thread (which I can't find) had pictures on where the valve was located and how to do it?
Think it was o/s, bottom of the engine, near the turbo.
.....Sambo? Linky to this thread of yours? :undecided:

I don't think the whooshing sound is caused by a faulty DV, you will just loose boost and all your power when it is split/faulty.
The "D" revision RRP is £40.39

As said earlier, jack the car up, undo 3 bolts holding it on to the turbo, unplug the electronic controller, tighten up and plug it back in, 10 minute job.

The "D" revision RRP is £40.39
+ VAT at 15% (when I enquired) = £46.49. :nerd:
+ VAT at 17.5% = £47.46.

^^^^^^^ agreed.

ok cheers guys, dont think i'll be attempting it till the bloody snow clears off the drive though!

Yeah Sambo fitted one of these to his, then I got one for mine on his recommendation, although had it fitted by a friend.
He's a VW tech but yes it took less than 10 mins.
Works perfectly, no fault codes, I would say it improves performance slightly too.

I havea Forge DV on mine but thats only because it was before VW had released a decent revision of one. The new VW ones work a treat.
