Diverter valve replacement
« on: 25 April 2012, 20:02 »
Hi guys,

There seems to be an awful lot of confusion / inaccurate information on the DV's used on the MK6 with the 2.0 TSI. I suspect mine is starting to go as I'm losing about 4psi of boost top end versus the commanded boost pressure shown in VCDS.

Has anyone had to have their valve replaced? If so, do we have the later 06H "diaphram-less" valves, or is there an overlap with the older 06F? Mine is a July 2010 model.

Not had time to go and see the dealer about mine as I think mines on the way out too.  :undecided:

The part number on mine is listed in that above thread mines an early 2010 car.

How do you monitor it with vcds as I may see what mine is doing?
Thanks.

In the measuring blocks, choose RPM, Boost specified and Boost actual. I'm a good 4psi down at the top end from what's specified so I think it's on the way
