seriously dude, that what it said on the screen.........

mind you, what part number would it be for the recirc valve? the same as the TT one? which is?

 

[Gti Fly]

If memory serves me right, then the TT225's DV should be the one that ends

710N

cheeers buddy.....

good advice from all.......

the stealers reckon it aint detrimental to the performance,,,,,but as you say, if it aint recircing properly, boost must be down....

they want ?114 to replace it....

Jesus.. that is disgraceful ! ?114 to do a DV change.. if it was a foge ..perhaps, but a standard plastic veedub part ? Come on .. name and shame ! []

 

[Essex Escy]

as i said.......

LINDVALE CHELMSFORD.......

so aint that price right then?

 

[turbo paul]

nooo that price is very wrong. if youre paying that sort of money buy a forge one. also check the classifieds i think there were a few in there a while ago.

 

[hz2921]

essex escy, i think that the parts man has given you the price for the n75 valve, for some reason the DV, is called a stop valve or shutoff valve , something like that, but you need the dv ending in 710N, this is the uprated one which is fitted to the audi TT,s, and it is surprisingly, around ?20-?25 from the stealer, its wee wee to fit as well.

 

[Essex Escy]

so can you do it yourself??

 

[turbo paul]

yes you can do it yourself. i didnt do mine myself because i was scared of breking something so i asked cage to do it for me. but having seen it done it really is extremely easy to do.

Forge DV on the bay.

 

[Essex Escy]

i aint convinced i'm lossing power to be honest.......it certainly aint sluggish...

i ahd a skoda mechanic tell me that they replace the "faulty" DV's, and then sell them on to people who want a DV sound....

 

[Essex Escy]

would my fuel economy be suffering?

i think it is!!

cant seem to get to 30mpg at the moment! eeeekk!

Even I managed to do mine.. and i'm a complete noobie ! I did have problems getting the hose to fit though.. but that was because it was old and perished so had to do a bodge job.. which in the end held together for about five months! I'd order another hose, the one that fits onto the port at the top.. think it's a vacuum hose.. but i'm not sure, so if anyone has a better idea [?]

 

[Essex Escy]

so why is my "fuel economy" suffering?

 

[turbo paul]

maybe because you are enjoying the dumping sound so you put your foot down a bit more to hear it better? [] its a common question asked on the rsoc after fitting a bov.

 

[Neutron]

I'm not too hot on the operation of DV's but isn't it a vacuum that triggers the opening of the valve? If this is the case and there is a hole in the diaphragm then it will require more vacuum to operate. Meaning that you turbo will be stalling for longer - check out the graph at the bottom of this link DV testing - I expect boost spikes can't do too much for your engine and that the reason you can hear the "dump" is because when the valve does finally open it has reached well over 1.2 bar.

 

[aberdeengti]

nope but car will probably feel a bit sluggish

If I replace my standard DV with a Forge will i loose performance? (sorry for jumping in and hijacking your topic [:I]

 

[Essex Escy]

NO WORRIES, I JUST WANNA KNOW DEFINITLVLY IF I'M LOOSING POWER AND FUEL ECONOMY

 

[aberdeengti]

I've just now replaced my DV with the TT/stock one, (from an audi dealer cos its closer), and the fluttering noise is gone, car is now silent apart from a small noise from the turbo. I've noticed it's more responsive, but only a little, not sure about MPG cos im halfway through a tank.

 

[GTI_Stan]

Aberdeengti - from what I've been reading you certainly won't loose performance with a Forge DV, so long as it's a return type valve and not an atmospheric 'release to air' one. Quite the oposite in fact - you should loose less pressure between gear changes compared with a stock DV. Read the DV Testing link posted by Neutron just before you on this thread.

 

[Essex Escy]

ooooooooooookkkkkkkkk.............

just got meself a 710n DV from the stealers, only ?22....so they clearly miss quoted me last time, as you guys said......

going to fit it myself...HOWEVER.....

how do you undo the hose clips???
