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!

Got a picture of it's position I took on my phone today if it's any use. Was taken whilst doing the cambelt (nightmare) today so managed to get a snap especially for you whilst it was on axle stands  :kiss:   :grin:

No problem, it's actually quite a hard place to get a photo of that is easy to understand where it is positioned  :embarassed:

The DV is located in this area of the car



This picture was taken from the drivers side wheel arch with the wheel and inner arch liner removed. The DV is bolted onto the turbo via 3 bolts (obvious once you have a replacement part in your hand)



The turbo is on the back of the engine to the slight left if looking from the front of the car into the engine bay. You need to be able to get under the car to undo the bolts.

This is a close up of the part to give you an idea of how it is attached to the turbo.



You can see there is also a boost pipe removed in these pictures, but this isn't needed to fit this part, it's actually a straight forward job once the car is in the air and your underneath.


HTH Sam  :smiley:

Fantastic - thanks Sam.  Will get it removed and have a good look around at the same time - hopefully this is my problem  :cool:

Did you replace it because you knew something was wrong?

Has anyone done any vag-com logging with these TSI-spec piston valves, and checked for any legacy DTCs?  :undecided:

Mine was hooked up to a 5052 post-fitment and no fault codes were present.
