just thought id say recieved in post my service kit from forge for my 007p.........my valve was used and few year old model and the service kit was a different piston..spoke to forge said they changed design a while back about a year ago due to finding out over time the domed piston leaked boost so this a far better design. thought id let you guys know as i didnt know this!
-
How much was the kit mate?
-
14.29 delivered. They have 2 on ebay one charges postage 1 doesnt lol. I semt you a pm over day wazzer too..... :-)
-
Wow..... it like a new car! Obv my old valve was playing up. Pulls lovley now
-
sorry mate not got round to replying, will do tonight
-
Send Forge an email telling them that your original valve is leaking, Tell them your unhappy as it cost xxx amount
and feel disappointed that its failed.
They will send you the rebuild kit for free!
That's how I got mine.
-
Didn't even do that - just called and said it was leaking boost - its in the post FOC :wink:
-
Just read this read so decided to email forge to tell them it's leaking pressure. They now asking how do I know it's leaking pressure and what test have I done? :angry:

say you have pressurised the system with a compressor to (rated spings psi), youve removed the DV from the TIP (but still bonnected to boost pipe) and can feel air leeking to the tip..
though, i disagree with what you are doing guys, soon forge will get wise to people taking the piss, forge are expensive enough, you should have to pay when things really do go wrong!.
then i suppose if they dropped their prices a little their customer services would deteriorate too. :undecided:
-
.....it's only £14 :laugh:
Stop being tight and just buy one! :laugh:

The old type piston leaked no matter what so in my opinion its not fit for use,
I don't see why I should pay £14 for a rebuild kit with the revised piston design as I had only recently paid £117 for
the valve.
I now have £14 to spend of something else.
Their customer service is excellent and they recognize they had an issue with the old piston design,
-
i meant it for people who are just taking the piss! :wink:
-
this is it i bought the valve used and unkown age so serviced it i wasnt going to complain. the results are worth the 14 quid the car drives superb oh and by the way DYNO time this sunday so it will be the first time to see what all these mods have done to a 120k 10 year old car
-
open your DV - if its the old dome one get the kit, if its flat at the bottom - don't bother!
-
I've got the dome version in mine, will be on the phone to them tomorrow to get the info on it. Don't mind paying for it...
-
Is it straight forward to change the piston and seals? Haven't looked at mine yet
