Just re read what you wrote i didnt notice you said you havent done the n249 bypass..... For the sake of a couple of meters of hose id start there mate as it controls the dv so if faulty will bring up that code. Ive been lucky with my golf tbf for peace of mind and to avoid sudden panic when things go wrong i sorted most of the common faults before they had chance to plan a attack lol! Only things left are the agu charge pipe and catch can :D

Im not a fan of deletes thou. Im a strong beleaver in "its there for a reason" however i suppose i could have a faulty n249 they cost much to replace?

Yes they are there for a reason, the way in which VW made the car from standard, when you start modifying bits and pieces those specifications change, I have the majority of the deletes done and I can honestly say the difference is noticeable, my garage is full of bits that have been ripped off the golf  :kiss: :grin:

I wouldnt replace it mate try the bypass first if you dont like it then you can put it back to normal with a new valve

N249 bypass transformed the way my aum drove. The dv is defo wrong and if you read up on this on here, vortex etc it not reccomemded can cause all sorts of issues. I spoke to forge few week back they said it would work in reverse but sound odd(which it does) and could cause boosting issues and all sorts.

I ran a longer dv pipe to top so it tooked under the cover. Been fine

If you are doing it for diagnostic purposes only then do the bypass, but I would still recommend the delete over the bypass, because as stated before the bypass is hit and miss

I dont quite get the difference to by pass to delete? My n249 valve still attached to loom etc but no pipes on so is this a bypass and with resistor is delete?
