Audi A3 Diverter Valve Replacement TFSI KO3 200BHP

[@2mitts]

For anyone watching this and trying to get the diverter valve out/new one in I recommend quarter inch ratchet with a 3" extension , 5mm Allen bit on the end. That's skinny enough to be able to maneuver things easily, and get the ratchet head square to the bolts. I found myself in all sorts of interesting positions, but I got to the two bottom most bolts with my feet pointing towards the front of the car and my head close to right underneath the valve. Top most bolt is most easily tackled from outside the wheel well area. Takes some gymnastics if you're just on jack stands but you should be able to get to it from that side. Prepare yourself for some frustration.

My car lost about 50 percent power with no codes showing and I watched this video and changed mine and it had a big rip in it changed it for the new metal ones and it is back to it's best. Thank you!

[@zacdavies3438]

hi there did you take the under tray off or just the wheel arch lining ?

[@ElSe1904]

Can this valve cause engine stalling, dropping rpm? I basically have symptoms of a vacuum leak.

[@Mike-cd7bj]

Probably the most informative video I've seen on this. That old valve had fucked it!

[@1dfgbj]

Do you know if this is the same procedure for A4 B7?

[@NormoRiders]

I don’t suppose you have any tips for replacing the N249 valve? It’s the boost control solenoid valve I believe. Sits at the top of the turbo but looks really awkward to get to so I’m just looking for some tips? I’ve got an Audi TT MK2 2006 with the 2.0 FSI engine

Tim Williams no worries. I’ve been searching long and far, cannot find anything really, I’m thinking it’s a sign haha. Thanks anyway, your video helped me change my diverter valve!

[@MrClimateCriminal]

Does the torque of the hex bolts matter? or just hand tighten the hell out of it?

[@TimWilliamsHD]

torque does matter always Mark, id go just a bit more than pinch tight because it is plastic after all..

[@timmytom7988]

oh my days not only is this a super video you are really funny ( in a great way :) ) please any more jobs on your audi a3 upload them super video ;)

[@TimWilliamsHD]

Cheers mate! Unfortunately I don't have that specific car anymore .. I drive an a3 2013 8v 2 litre TDI... Moving to a Mercedes come august...

[@timmytom7988]

that sounds awesome ;) They are both amazing cars good luck me ol china :)

[@shadyninja1]

good job but I booked mine in tomorrow to change it to the piston type with tuningwreks in Croydon. I've lost some boost and there is a hiss coming from the front as I floor the 1.8tfsi. no engine management lights are on.

[@TimWilliamsHD]

shadyninja1 sounds like boost leak to me hopefully ... fairly cheap and easy job! Good luck TW

[@shadyninja1]

TW Randomz sorted it out yesterday and now it's faster than before. the diaphragm was seriously ripped. I put my APR map on this morning and it rips tarmac. labour and parts cost me £98 at Tuningwreks.

[@shadyninja1]

TW Randomz thanks for this video post. I gave you the thumb's up

[@TimWilliamsHD]

As executed...they're a serviceable part to be honest, I'd check it at every service due to the durability of the rubber..when I had my 2.0tfsi I was thinking to buy a GFB one cos they have better reviews then the original 2 Audi types of diverter valve! Thanks for watching! Please subscribe.. TW

[@dragosudroiu4592]

man i have same symptom on stage 1 revo,low boost and car jerking,logg says that boost is not enough, so this part can be my problem? thank you

[@FC-wm8he]

How did you know that you needed to replace it?

[@Mike-cd7bj]

Usually, you'll notice the car doesn't accelerate as fast as if the diverter valve were working

[@colgate2in11]

What mileage and age was this A3? I'm trying to figure out how likely it is for my 60k mile '09 Scirocco to have a split DV.

[@TimWilliamsHD]

Hi Tom, car was sold with around 100k, I recall doing it around 80-90k.

[@vasilmalchev566]

@@TimWilliamsHD car was stock or tuned with more boost?

[@rootsdat]

I had a small oil leak from diverter valve plug on mk5 gti . I replaced with revision D and its still leaking a bit of oil from the plug. Very strange. Any ideas? Thank you

[@TimWilliamsHD]

may have a leak in the rubber mate....best changing them...theyre not that expensive now....should fetch around 20-30 quid on the bay...

[@user-ek9ny9fl4d]

how can i understand if the piston of the valve is damaged ??

[@TimWilliamsHD]

Error code or low power but sometimes you just have to check bro

[@user-ek9ny9fl4d]

@@TimWilliamsHD i dont have error cause or power loss but when the turbo is working i am hearing a sound i ve checked everything and in the aluminium diverter flange i saw some scratches and dont know how come..any idea?

I can't get the clip off any idea's to help me get it off

push in then pull back the little clip bit on the back then pull the whole clip off
