Dump valve removal

[Mdwalshy]

Hi all new to the forum. I have recently bought a mk4 golf gti which has a dump valve I was wondering what original parts I need to remove this.

Many thanks
Mike.

Morning!  It's actually meant to have a recirculating valve.  Do you know what make has been fitted?  Hopefully it's a Forge which is good, if so, you can safely leave it be.  If it's some chavvy piece of rubbish either pick up a cheap OEM valve from VW, or but a forge 007p and pop that in instead.

Morning , thanks for the reply.

It's a baileys , which is annoying every time I change gear :-) I would prefer the recirc valve just so they is no noise on gear change. Once I got the recirc valve would I not need any other parts? There is a blanking plug on a pipe at the back of the engine.

Welcome..No you dont ..just take blanking plug out and connect recirculating valve in and all pipes. I have a original bosch recirculating valve lying around.

Best bet get a forge 007 or 008 tho and get silicone pipe for the top vacum pipe on the valve

you could pick up an OEM recirc valve for practically nothing, or someone might be nice enough to just let you have one.  It's worth picking up a 007p though if you can, probably don't cost much on eBay these days.

Thanks for the advice :-)

I will probably just stick with the OEM one for now, I will get on ebay and see what I can find.

Thanks
Mike.

They are being sold on fleabay for ridiculous amounts second hand. If you want a forge one you might aswell buy a new one because people seem to try and sell them for stupid money on there, robbing c**ts . I'm looking for one myself but am not prepared to pay the money they are asking. But then again, I am a tight arse 

[Mdwalshy]

I'm only after a standard OEM one for now might upgrade to a forge one in the future. Can't find any on the bay but will keep looking and hopefully one will come up :-).

You might need the return pipe that goes back to the metal charge pipe too. Best to get a photo up and we can advise accordingly

Thanks for that :-) will grab a picture later and get one posted on here.
