Fitted TSI-spec DV

[GtiJames]

too say it will ONLY work with the new tsi engines is tosh, its been running on mine since Jan with no problems at all

number of people on this site and others across the world have gone to VW garages and ordered the DV and received the D version for their mk5 gti

I can understand people make mistakes but for it to happen over and over again like you are suggesting then either you are wrong or vw garages across the world are wrong

you know your stuff tt, but I would double check and check again with your sources

Hi hope I can join in, the older  DV valves have been superceeded to the new piston type valve.

Yes some dealers may have old stock but unless something has changed within the last couple of weeks if the old part no is typed into ETKA then it will superceed to the new D valve.

All the latest TSI engines -1.4 and 2.0 litre are coming from the factory with this valve fitted.
Just out of interest the latest 2.0 tsi engines in the Golf and Scirocco are not (as yet) fitted with the valve lift system, probobaly why the 2.0 tsi Audi A4 fitted with this has lower CO2 and better mpg figures than the Golf.

Another heated conversation out of nothing 


The D type which is fitted to my car was NOT a superceeded part when mine was which was last month. Think it was still listing a G type? not sure but I had to request a part that the VW computer was not listing for my car using the part number. Wether or not this is still the case I don't know, but I have a very god friend who is a master tech and i'm quite friendly with the part's guy which my friend also knows very well, so between the 3 of us there isn't much bullsh!t. 

The PCV valve was listed as positive crankcase ventilation valve on the vag computer as this was listed as the suspect to my dodgy idle which turned out not to be. As far as I can make it it is basically a crank breather valve like many cars have similar too.

This is the most interesting thing to happen on the MK5 board for ages..........

It's a good job we're not at the pub as I fear that people would have been asked to "take this outside" by now 

I think the common sentiment from those who have the 06H 145 710 D fitted is that it's a popular and effective replacement for the original item and it appears to give a slight improvement in performance and driveability.

Just get the Forge one, much easier lol

I ordered mine as a G and the invoice has the G number on it, it had to be ordered in as they hadn't it in stock and that's what was sent to them 

 Anyway it works exactly as my old G valve did before it got ripped a new a**hole

As it happens I have tried both as I (wrongly) suspected that my forge was sticking and I can't tell the difference between that and the TSI D version.

The forge one requires maintainance, is more expensive and makes the engine less responsive...

Dont get the Golf Haynes manual - it sucks - couple of pages on the turbo system and nothing that useful - if anything I'm even more confused now.  It talks about "Boost pressure solenoid valve" and "Boost pressure Valve (wastegate)" - assuming the later is this DV??  - Haynes comment on the later:

"The boost pressure valve is an integral part of the turbocharger, and cannot be renewed separately"  I'm off to set fire to it then back trawling the forums!

Erm . . . who said that?  Because I certainly did NOT.

What I actually, and categorically stated - is that it was specifically designed for the new TSI engine.  So hopefully anyone who has a basic comprehension of the English language can see the difference in those two comments! 

its been running on mine since Jan with no problems at all

Again, I have NOT disagreed with that bit.  I freely accept that some peeps are using the new valve on the older engine without probs - all I have stated is that this is NOT an official VWAG modification.

<yawn>

I can understand people make mistakes but for it to happen over and over again like you are suggesting then either you are wrong or vw garages across the world are wrong

<yawn again>

You arn't referring to Yanks, are you?  If so, sort of says it all really!

you know your stuff tt, but I would double check and check again with your sources

I'll gladly check again, but remember, I do have an official trade account with VW UK, and my local TPS are always able to vouch for my 'factually correct' info.  But if the situation has changed, then I'll gladly report back and eat my slice of humble pie.
