Diverter Valve Replacements

I wouldn't even know what revision my DV was. I just pulled the old one out & put it all back together. I had the diaphragm style.

I'll look back at my photos to see if i can see the part number, but my stock DV (2010 Mk6 GTI) was either the C or G revision. It was a diaphragm style. The DV on my friends MK5 GTI was the same one.

EDIT - bit hard to say with 100% certainty, but it looks like a G to me.

Regardless of the revision version, the solenoid part of the DV (which is the only part you keep when using the GFB product) is unchanged. It was only the piston/seal part of the DV that changed with each revision while they tried to find a reliable solution. The GFB replaces the piston/seal part anyway.

Thanks Lucas. That's exactly what I thought too. That the base of the OEM DVs were all the same, hence the GFB DV just bolted to the base/solenoid irrespective of the Revision of the OEM DV.

Strangely I apparently have the Rev C OEM diverter valve on my 2012 TSI Octavia vRS. I thought these later model vRS's came out with Rev D, but apparently not? Does anyone know if the GFB DV+ will fit on the Rev C? The instructions on the GFB website only show the Rev D and Rev G OEM DV's, however as per Lucas' link above, the picture on the first page states it fits Rev C? Apparently the OEM Rev C DV is smaller than Rev D and G?

I've emailed GFB and asked them but as yet no response.

Your vRS OEM post re GFBs and REVs has no lack of TLAs.
In fact might be a record

All sorted. It will fit all revisions of the OEM DV.
