Here we go!!





Im so happy with it it, had a good long drive in her yesterday. At the minute she still has 95 in her so I assume its best I let it run dry and use super from now on. Best we get here in NI is RON 97. Keyser, I am getting the remap done by auto tune ballymena. Guy there called Steve. They are fantastic. Had my R32 and GT TDI remapped by them. I believe you had your DV go after you had yours remapped. Did you get it replaced with a stock one again? Thanks for the info on the carworks guys, im in Lisburn so Ill nip up there.

I am wondering now should I get the uprated forge DV valve as I am getting my car remapped on Tuesday. Can any of you tell me the best place to buy it online, I have no idea what to expect to pay. Ill get the guys keyser got to fit it too saying they did a good job for him.

Im impressed by the note the GTI makes under accelleration when you hear it from outside, nice!! I cant wait to head out again today, gonna just go out for a 'drive'. Its raining here today in NI so that should be fun. Very happy to be back in a Golf with character again and people notice who know when they see the badge!!!! had a few heads turn yesterday

-  I have 1 spare VW bottle opener as well, if anyone doesnt have one PM me your address and Ill send it your way!

Nice car!  Looks really well.

My DV had a torn diaphragm (hence the loss in power) so had it replaced with the more up to date one.  The part number is 06f 145 710 g and I just went in and ordered it at VW boucher road.   The letter g is important as this is the most up to date one.  I contemplated the forge dv but it costs £150 (just google forge).  The standard one costs £28.  My car is 2005 so the DV was the older version and not as reliable.  The one you have in your car may be the new version.

You'll notice a world of difference after the remap.

Thanks!

Maybe if mine is the new DV version (maybe someone can confirm this - my car is Jan 06?) I just get the remap done and see how I get on.

....As VW have revised the stock DV so many times it's difficult to know by the build date. Failures are very random, mostly on remapped cars running more boost, but some on standard cars too. I know someone who has had 3 failures! It's a weak link imo but if it ain't broke don't mend it - Though I did!

The Ed30 and Audi S3 has the DV located at the front - As vRstu has done.
