Hi All,

 

I have a fair idea that there are areas within the forum covering this already, so I apologise.

 

All I am after is advice on the best place to purchase the following, ideally a single supplier.

 

Rev N PCV

Rev D DV

 

Update: I have read a couple of confusing forums, which is the newer/better design "Rev D DV" or Rev G?

 

These are for my 2006 Octavia VRS

 

Thank you in advance

Go direct to the dealer mate. Go for a rev g dv. I had a rev d and it wasn't the best. Pcv valve - give them your reg and they will advise which is the latest for your car. I'd also get the rubber gasket - pipes were fine on mine. I dropped a screw in the bay whilst changing so for the 13p I think it is for them may be worth getting a spare.

What are the benefits of fitting these?

Original dv usually split and so you loose boost. Replace with new and full boost back.

Pcv valve is the breather - there a one way valve and if they break the engine doesn't run right and can loose mpg.

Thanks Duv

 

I suppose i assumed that the mention of main dealer is normally twinned with being shafted on the price of things :-)

 

cheers

I assumed that too when I needed parts for my old Golf. VW were ok with price and TPS were generally a little cheaper for genuine parts.

Go direct to the dealer mate. Go for a rev g dv. I had a rev d and it wasn't the best.

What's wrong with rev D?

A newer revised PCV valve can still become dodgy or suspect over time, therefore I would rather choose a PCV deleted kit to future proof the PCV system. Have a look in parts for sale

What's wrong with rev D?

It's a piston type and the piston kept sticking on it. It also doesn't seem to seal properly. There's loads of threads on mkv golf owners club.

Merekat: Thanks for the heads up on TPS, I didn't know about them and they are 5 mins from where I live :-)

 

Dallen75: Nice redirect :-), good price as well. I may certainly be interested (if you still have it in a couple of weeks), sorry I cant move quicker on it. Did you use it at all?

Hi Burgey, no it hasn't been on my car only on Robs so it is used but there is nothing on it that can fail hence them being popular and a once only fix. My new catch can came with the same PCV fix. If you view SNH's picture just above my first post then you can see clearly where the two pipes feed off it. These pipes are feeds to a catch can so you won't have those. It's just the flat looking bar where those pipes attach, I will try to update it with a photo to show you, cheers

I run a rev D dv and it seems ok, I had a massive boost leak from the old C that was fitted and this was cheap to see if it cured it.

A lot of mixed reviews on the D & G tbh, some say the D's ok and some say it leaks.

There is rumour of a rev H being released but I'm not 100% on that.

I have the 42draftdesigns stealth occ fitted which replaces the pcv pipework, seems ok and does it's job.
