How Hard Could It Be? | MK6 GTI Diverter Valve Spacer Install

[@ryansdad001]

Ordered mine this week and should be here tomorrow, thanks for the how to video!!

[@TheParkingLotMechanic]

Thank you for the support! I love mine so I bet you’ll love yours!

[@lost3659]

Ended up buying one of these and when I went to install it I could not for the life of me remove the sensor to the diverter valve. Does anyone have any tips?

[@TheParkingLotMechanic]

Push-pull connector tool will help immensely. Like $10 and useable all over the car.

Do you by any chance have a link to where I can find said tool?

@@lost3659 Not a problem! If I am trying to build a community, engagement is key! Plus I like making new friends! Here is the link to the tool I have: www.ecstuning.com/b-schwaben-parts/vag-connector-removal-tool/002916sch01a/ You'll probably be able to find it cheaper somewhere else but now you know what to look for!

@@TheParkingLotMechanicthanks so much, can’t wait to see what’s next up for Elsa!

[@robertgorski6337]

I just ordered this and I feel somewhat confident about this but my car is an automated manual would it have a difference on the noise?

[@TheParkingLotMechanic]

I don’t think it would make a difference on noise at all. But enjoy it! It’s fun!

[@robertgorski6337]

@@TheParkingLotMechanic nice I’m gonna install it tonight

[@robertgorski6337]

I installed it and I absolutely love it well worth the money

[@TheParkingLotMechanic]

@@robertgorski6337 Yesss! Love to hear it! (pun intended!)

[@ju-larza978]

What’s up man I have a mk6 gti with the automatic transmission I was wondering if dv spacer is compatible with it? If anyone could educate that would be dope

[@TheParkingLotMechanic]

Someone probably could answer better, but I’ve never been told that it won’t so I believe it would! Most sites, especially ECS will tell you if it’s manual or auto only and I don’t recall that designation on their DV spacer.

[@Andres-a-moore]

It doesn’t matter which transmission you have, as it’s part of the turbocharger/intake system and not transmission. You’ll be OK. I do recommend getting a DV+ from GFB

[@Jahhriqq]

Did u have a intake or anything? Before u installed this? Cause I’m fully stock and I’m bought this but idk if I’ll hear the noise it makes😢

[@TheParkingLotMechanic]

No intake! You hear it nicely even stock!

[@Jahhriqq]

@@TheParkingLotMechanic betttttt cause I jus ordered 1, I didn’t want to order it and there be no sound🤣 cause I’m fully stock that’ll be the first mod toward my engine

[@TheParkingLotMechanic]

Nice first mod! It’ll get you addicted :p

[@Jahhriqq]

@@TheParkingLotMechanic 🤣🤣I gotchu, have u done any mods so far added with that? Like a intake or u still stock with the spacer

[@TheParkingLotMechanic]

@@Jahhriqq So this video was posted over a year ago so since then I've gotten an intake, exhaust, tune, and some other stuff to boot! A fair bit actually. You can check it all out on the channel!

[@Youhavenohearts]

Why do some people with this exact same dv get a turbo flutter and some get a whoosh sound im so confused i js want my gti to flutter lmao

[@TheParkingLotMechanic]

It's down to boost pressure and type of spacer/blow off valve. Spacer tends to woosh and blow off will flutter more.

[@Youhavenohearts]

so what blow off would you have to buy? Im looking everywhere on ecs@@TheParkingLotMechanic

[@luisperez2655]

Hey man what size torx bit did you use to take the bolts off?

[@TheParkingLotMechanic]

Oh shoot man, it’s been so long I forgot. T25 or T30 or in that range.

[@edwinkekic8792]

Do you think I can use my all Allen key folding set to unscrew the diverter? Or should I get an individual set

[@TheParkingLotMechanic]

I bet you could! Honestly, whatever gets in there and gets it off will work.

[@jeffleonard343]

Saw that Buc-Ees sign at the end and now I'm hungry for a brisket sandwich!

[@TheParkingLotMechanic]

Now I want one too..!

[@sebastianvargas3721]

Do u have a vid of the turbo muffler delete

[@TheParkingLotMechanic]

Yes I do! Check out the channel, it’s one of the more recent ones

[@tjkoenig1387]

Oooooo imma order one next week. Have you done any exhaust modifications or are planning on it?

[@TheParkingLotMechanic]

Do it!!! And yes, I’ll be getting a cat back in the fall.

[@Salvaoronia]

Hey man so I was wondering if you were experiencing oil leakage from the spacer ever since u installed it, i have and decided to go with a dv+ instead now which should come in a couple of days

[@homewood99999]

Would have been nice to actually see how you did this ….instead of watching your back the whole time

[@TheParkingLotMechanic]

Same, lol. Very very tight and dark up in there. I've managed to get some better footage other installs in this area so we be learning!

[@joshuajames8583]

Lol for real
