Hi All,

This is my first time out since joining Briskoda. I'm wondering if anyone knows the answer to this. I fitted a dump valve purchased from Halfords on to my vRS which seems to work ok,

however, when cruising on the motorway the valve opens & vents continuously. Is this normal & has anybody else come across this?

:cheers: Paul J

Welcome to Briskoda Paul :wave:

Halfords sell Dump Valves? :eek: That's scary...

It could well be the wrong type, the vRS needs a "re-circulating" DV as opposed to the "Atmospheric" type as seen on Scoob's i believe.

Bailey or Forge are the usual recommendations for the Octy, do a search on the forum and all will be revealed

Or...look here...

Hi Paul, and welcome! :wave:

Out of interest, why did you replace the standard DV? As Geoff says, the odds are that you have bought an unsuitable DV which will be having a detrimental effect on your car's performance.

You can find a detailed explanation about DVs in the following link:

is it possible to fit a dv to a furby vrs. wot will it improve on furby

Thanks Geoff & Denis. Looks like I'd better reinstate the OE kit!. I changed the DV purely for my aural pleasure, having also fitted a pipercross viper induction kit as well (so far!). The guy on the Ripspeed desk in Halfords sold me a Le Mans DV kit for Audi A3/4/Golf 1.8 Mk4, saying that the same kit was listed for the vRS. I'll be more careful next time!!

Well it's the same engine - as long as they meant the 1.8T. Maybe yours has failed prematurely. Is it adjustable at all? Having said all the above, Le Mans is not a name that has ever cropped up on here before AFAIK.

Take it back and see if you can get a refund
