Title: New DV Fitted. Power Restored!!!!!
Post by: keyser on 30 August 2008, 18:20

Well, if anyone has read my last few posts,you would know that I had a serious loss in boost.  About 2 months after the remap my power dropped to 0.4 bar. The mechanic that did my service was not particularly useful, to the point where he said there was nothing wrong. :angry:

Ordered the DV - known as a cut off valve - on Monday and had it fitted this morning by an independent. Power is fully restored.  After driving it for over a month with loss of power I forgot how fast this thing is!  Absolutely  chuffed to bits  :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Big thanks to all those who offered advice.  Seriously folks had it not been for this forum I would have been lost.  The dealer would have taken a lifetime to fix it and would have charged me a fortune.  Instead it cost £28 for the part and £30 to fit it this morning.  (Carworks NI if anyone in Northern Ireland is interested)

Big thanks to vrstu who gave me the part number.

Good news that it was a nice cheap and easy fix.
