is it the DV?

[SSS_Hoon]

got a 05 MKV GTI DSG, and i think the DV has gone.

There is like a constant whistle while accelarating and there is no real blow off sound like there used to be anymore. just sounds like the boost is constantly building up. Car also feels sluggish now.


had a qwik look at forge and parts4euro websites, but am unsure as to what it is i would need with there being many different versions.

the car is a 2005 MKV GTI with DSG. not after just the spacer which i assume is just a BOV and not the actual valve as that will not fix the problem just make noise.

Thanx

Sounds to me like a boost leak somewhere, check your intake tract connections for any loose clamps or seals.

Just get the Rev D OEM DV. It is awesome. DV's always fuck up in our cars. Take it out and look if it has been torn.

 

[SSS_Hoon]

the car is completly stock.

How much is the OEM version going for. The car is out of warranty so we would have to pay for it.

Stock piping can still come undone, promise! :biggrin:



Anyways, they're typically about $80 US. If you have jackstands or ramps, the DV can be removed, inspected and replaced in under 30 minutes. Worth replacing anyways, if for nothing else than piece of mind. As DeanCorp said, the rubber diaphragms do tear quite commonly.

I think $159 AUD.

yeah will check all the piping before i go ahead and buy one.

Its the wifes car and a daily with no mods so i guess the stock one would be the better option, as there are no plans to mod it either.(not in the near future anyway)

Will any VW dealer know it, and do i need to ask for rev D or will vw have it anyway.

Is there anywhere else i should buy it from to save some cash.

Hard for me to suggest an aftermarket source for you, as I'm from the states. Also, I know our dealers typically stock different parts and quantities than over in OZ but I would imagine they could get a Rev D pretty quickly if they don't already have one stocked.




As for ordering the valve at the dealership? They should know what it is, as it is labeled it the ETKA. I would ask for it by it's name though.

I can replace for you if you like. I live in Springwood. It will only take about 20 minutes. VW Penrith should have one in stock.

 

[ea2001]

Always in stock.
$12 postage in NSW

I have seen plenty of DVs go since these things came out but in my family we have 3 BWA cars, oldest one at 77000km, still haven't popped any!

Maybe you guys are driving too hard!

 

[SSS_Hoon]

ours is the first time to go, and its got almost 125000k on it.

Maybe we just know how to show our cars some love and pop that sweet little red dv hymen.
