mk5 gti Diverter valve location

[Aleksii]

Hey guys,

I have the APR ecu upgrade on my mk5 gti and when I put my foot down, the car starts to pull, and when it hits boost it just feels flat and makes a lot of sucking-type noise, but does not pull as good as it used to.

I just want to see if anyone could tell me where exactly I can find the diverter valve?

Can I find it looking from the top (by removing airbox or whatever else) or is the only way of seeing it by getting under the car?

Thanks guys,

aleks

You have to go in under the RHF. Thats the only way mate. Wheel off is easier too.

Hey Alexs - you are our customer right (I think),

Drop by & we will check it for you - we have new units in stock if yours is dead.

It takes about 1/2 an hour as the turbo is so hot.

Give us a call first.

Cheers

Guy

Hey Guy,

Yes, I am a customer of yours (very happy customer, may i add)

I dropped the car in at VW this morning, and I'm expecting it at 3pm (45mins)so I'm sitting here very anxiously....

I'll post up here and let you know how I go with the service department........

Thanks Guy, appreciate the help.

Time will tell

All good, Guy. Turns out it was the wastegate sensor...?

Any thoughts?

[Guy_H]

not with that terminology - they could even be referring to the DV valve.....

Lol.... I thought so.. I'll call them tomorrow and ask. Curious.
