Title: please name this 1.8T re-circulating valve
Post by: paultownsend on 07 May 2012, 16:01
hello all!

my recently purchased 1.8T was, i thought completely standard. but it appears it has a re-circulating valve on it. i have no receipts, and it has absolutely no markings on it. all i can say is i can move the plate with reasonable force with my small finger.

i was looking to buy a forge 007 before my trip to r-tech

if anyone can identify the part it would make my day

Paul

only if the one you have is borked. push the piston up and put your finger over the small vac nipple on the top. it should hold some pressure then snap shut when you take your finger off. even if it doesn't do that it may just need servicing/re-greasing.

Likes been said if the.diaphragm and spring in the.valve are ok you'd be wasting your money.

The duty of a recirc valve is so simple, your just paying for the brand
