Mk5 Golf GTI - Rev D vs Rev G Diverter Valve (DV)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 лип 2024
- In this video I am swapping my Rev D diverter valve for a Rev G. I try to do some logging on VCDS to see if logging shows any difference and also give my opinion on how the car feels as the driver.

You are class! The smile and the chat made me go get the revs g… fitting it on my dinner so I’ll update with what I think! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 thank you!
These videos are so detailed, absolutely love it!!!!
Thanks for the comment bro 👌🏼, appreciate it 👊🏼
Just upgraded mine to the gfb dv+ what an upgrade makes a big difference
Great vid Himi. Think I'll change mine when it gets a bit warmer 🥶. It's worth it for the difference in sound imo. Keep the Mk5 GTI content coming 👍
Yeah it is cold out 🥶, I'll be honest the turbo flutter I got after fitting the revG might be from the loose connector (as I broke the plastic). I'll fix it and give an update! More content coming 👊🏼
Good Video! Just ordered a Rev G to replace the original DV on my MK6 that's leaking and fluttering like mad
Dear lord, no wonder you were smiling! 😂😂 it’s a very noticeable difference, only running a stage 1 too.
Thank you again!!
Brilliant to hear!
Great video my G!
👊🏼. Aqib g you gotta come experience the GTI properly now 😂
Looks like I'm ordering a REV G online after your great review [I own a Mk5 Gti - Australia] and have subscribed to see what other interesting and related vids you have... TY.
Thanks for subscribing, all the best 👊🏼
Hahaha the polo racing u at 2:00🤣
the smile after the rev g install
Thank you so much my friends
Great video will be changing mine soon !
👊🏼
@@HimiJ i have a few other things up with my gti you mind if i get in contact or facebook message please?
Mk v gti 2007
Are you on instagram ? Mine is linked in the description feel free to drop a dm
Very helpful. Thanks
👊🏼
Wicked video.. From lots of experience.. REV G is the best. AKS, R-TECH ect say rev g also.
Rev G for my Fiat 500 Turbo. Thanks for the comparison.
Hey great video, I’m going to map my mk5 gti soon which do you think would be the best dv?
Great stufff
Nasser g, thanks for the comment 👊🏼
I just put genuine GFB DV+ in my Mk5 and never looked back. Sure, I need to lube it every now and then, but that's done anyway at the same time when I change oils, so it's no biggie. It's awesome :) Soon I'll be doing stage 2 for my Mk5 so should work well with that too. No more thinking if seals or plastics crack on those stock DVs.
You are right, stock DVs are a nightmare, I'm hoping the RevG lasts on mine or might have to look into the DV+ (this is the second comment that's mentioned it). Good luck with stage 2 💪🏽
@@HimiJ Thanks. Yeah worth checking it out. Many suggested in Facebooks GTI Mk5 group and the install was just as easy as any DV replacement (obviously) and it does feel more responsive, even if only ever so slightly. But the main thing was that it's supposed to be pretty much bullet proof when maintained. If you're going to get one, make sure it's the genuine one and not one of those replicas Ebay is littered with. I ordered mine straight from GFB website to be sure :D
Even the GFB DV you have to service from time to time... The D are stronger but leak air. The G feels better but will eventually break especially if you are tuned.
@@laurentl2275 That is correct, gotta do some maintenance with DV+. I do it each time I change oils, since I'm under there anyway and it takes just few minutes to relube it 😊
bro, a question I have a forge relief valve on my mk6 I would like to know if I can add a spacer to the same valve
What about Rev J? Same as G without the outer cilinder. Anyone knows why use one or the other?
What happen if install Rev G with DV+?
Is it even better throttle response?
How it kepp boost with rev G in high rpm , after 5000rpm??? Better than rev D ?
I had golf mkv gti stg2+ ( f23t turbo , hpfp upgrade s3 injectors etc ) , turbo req is 1.55 and 1.45 until redline , but after 5000rpm boost go in down .... 1.1bar @6000rpn ....i have REV D ...
Hey mate, just came across your channel a couple of days ago, got a lot of ur content to catch up on 😁👍🏻 great Vids!
I'm recording content shortly on a rev D Vs a GFB DV+, similar to this, will see if my OBDeleven can log the boost for me. I'll drop a mention of this vid if that's ok, on the 1st upgrade to make from a D to a rev G. The GFB's are a bit pricey.
Thanks for watching, definitely be interesting to see another comparison, yeah feel free to drop a mention. Look forward to seeing it - all the best 👊🏼
@@HimiJ hey mate, hope ur good.
Just letting you know I have positive feedback on the GFB DV+ so far. So many mixed opinions on them (arguments sometimes 🤣) anyway, excellent mod so far, but I'll be open and provide any vid updates if it causes issues later on 👍🏻
Rev d here on stock. I used to be rev g but the rubbers were turning brittle. I figured rev d would mean one less thing to check.
Yeah that's the exact reason I also had the Rev D fitted, as they aren't meant to fail. So far mine runs better on the rev G 🤷🏽♂️.
I've heard good and bad on both sides. Thanks for the comment 👊🏼.
Cute little popcorn poppers ya'll drive out there.
Hi mate been following the channel for a while now, was just wondering as your car is stage 2 and manual do you get any slip from the clutch, as it's running almost 100 FT-LB of torque more than stock.
Right now I don't have any slip, pretty sure it's the stock clutch on 110k miles was standard most of its life.
I've read up a bit on the clutch on "TFSI Tuning" on facebook, it seems to be a bit luck tbh. Some people get clutch slip running around 300 ft lbs and others are running say 340 ft lbs with no problems 🤷🏽♂️. Clutch is what's holding me back from going to stage 2+ as it is expensive to get done.
Could also come down to how the cars mapped, how good the mapping is.
Wish you were in the south west . Could use your help
Did stage 1 make it more efficient then stock when driving sensibly
Hmm it was pretty much the same
quality vid my friend .. where did you get the rev g and how much was it
Thanks 👊🏼, I bought mine from Crewe Audi (on eBay) and it cost £50 delivered. TPS also sells them, there's another website that had them for £50 delivered, I'll try and find it and add the link to the description!
@@HimiJ thank you very much. I did have it changed then it was remapped and they gave me the old one back in the new box and the code on the box was correct BUT he only charged me £72 thats including fitting so I think he he might have fitted a cheep one
£72 might be right cause if they had a ramp they can change them pretty quick 🤔. Really difficult to know
Do you have a spacer also?
And do you here hissing when at full throttle? because when I added a spacer mine hisses before dumping would that be a leak do you think or just how it works with a spacer
I don't have a spacer fitted.. but I'd say hissing on full throttle is a sign it's leaking
Thanks for your opinion
Wish this video was about when I was doing mine, went for rev g, think I now need to replace pcv valve, question is delete or keep?
Appreciate the comment 👊🏼
Probably easier to keep and replace with the latest revision, another option is to run a catch can but can be pricey. I'd say avoid a delete plate that doesn't include a catch can (seen a lot of owners having issues after fitting delete plates).
@@HimiJ yeah I think I'll just replace it thanks for reply mate and a fast one at that!
You ever try a new revD?.. since the one u pulled just fell apart ?.. maybe that's why the Rev G. Performed good ?. I'm just curious.
I fitted the rev d new when I first got car and seemed to work well. The car was mapped to stage 1 with the rev d and dyno'd in at 250bhp... I only started having power loss later down the line ... so doesnt seem to be a case of the rev d is always bad 🤔
Same problem im having right now
Is this Better than the GBF diverter valve
Don't have experience with the other one... mainly used this cause it was recommended by R-Tech
I fitted an aftermarket piston type DV, will never fail
Dv+ ?
@@HimiJ yeh if I remember properly lol
Yeah heard good things about the DV+ from other comments 👌🏼
Sent here by tbol. Lol. Nice car buy please just call it revision instead of rev, it just gets annoying 😀. 100% replacing your valve is the way to go. The whole point in newer revisions is that they fix issues or replace due to newer design ideas.
Tbol what a guy man 😂. Appreciate the comment 👊🏼, revision it is 🙏🏼. Again cheers for checking out the channel!
Known Tony for a number of years and Ecotune did my Stage3 Cupra 280. Check out my @strutbraceuk page also on Instagram
I'll give it a follow, stage 3 cupra must be mad 🔥
@@HimiJ it was amazing on the Cupra, miss it now but went for an s4. It has its own benefits. 😀
Every time I fit a new part my car gets quicker, placebo effect lol same when I wash it goes better lol😂❤
Haha everytime!
Any thoughts on the GFB piston that bolts onto the solenoid?
Not used one so don't have any personal experience. From what I've read it's a split, some people love them while others don't (from posts on TFSI tuning). There's various reasons on either side of the argument, I'd say just find whatever one works best for your car. Personally I lean towards the RevG given the price and it being an oem part, but that being said I'd invest in a GFB if I found my car kept splitting RevGs.
Another UA-camr "North Coast Workshop" fitted one to replace his RevD, could be worth checking his video out.
@@HimiJ mine is probably faulty so I got it booked at the garage next week. I'm wondering if I should order a GFB valve or not. Like you said I'm tempted of just leaving it as it is and order a GFB if I split the new one.
Do you know if you have to ask for the G revision or is that the only one they stock at Volkswagen nowadays?
The confusing thing is I don't think Volkswagen stock the RevG, when I first got my car I went to Volkswagen and asked for the latest DV and they gave me a RevD (this was 2018).
Coverdale is a good place to buy a RevG, awesomeGTI is another option but they charge a lot for postage:
www.coverdalecarparts.co.uk/product-page/rev-g-dv-06f145710g
If your cars stock I'd say just go with the RevG, it shouldn't split again for a long time on a stock car. Completely up to you what to go for, good luck!
@@HimiJ my car is stock at the moment but I'm planning on going for a stage 1 remap once that's all fixed up. That's lucky I asked you what they stock at the dealer because I was just going to drop it off and let the garage sort it out. Now I'm going to have to make some calls to get the right part on time.
Are you still on standard brakes? My car is standard and I feel like the brakes aren't very good. I'm wondering what it'll feel like with more power. To be fair I have an A3 quattro so maybe a little heavier than your car
Yes I'm still on standard brakes, I agree they aren't the best, once tuned ideally you do want to upgrade your brakes but they are fine for day to day road use. I'm sure Mk7 Golf R brakes and Mk7 GTI performance pack brakes fit across VAG cars as an upgrade.
Could be worth getting your brakes bled, they're meant to be done every two years.
Had the Rev G on mine for about 3 months it seems to be leaking already 😭
😯, is your car tuned. That's the downside of the RevG it will eventually fail - but 3 months is crazy, could be worth looking into the DV+. I don't know much about them, but a few people have mentioned them in the comments.
@@HimiJ I’m not too sure if it’s tuned when I first put it on it pulled well now between 2k to 3k revs it’s like air is escaping sounds good when shifting but the boost leak is killing the power low down
Sounds exactly what the rev d was doing to mine, air escaping low down, complete nightmare these DVs
They all fail. Rev G is more suitable on K03 it gives slightly better performance, on K04 I would suggest rev D as it is stronger than all diagphram valves. All dv valve would eventually fail not only because the tune but also on stock map due to their location on the turbo, it is getting really hot there. If you remove passenger wheel, wheel liner it is easier to work on them.
rev g holds better boost i tried both
I hope you enjoyed the video! Comment below what DV valve you guys are using and what one you've found best.
The video shows my experience, let me know what you guys think, I know a lot of people run the Rev D with no problems.
*UPDATE*
The loose connector was causing the turbo flutter (compressor surge). The rev g doesn't cause flutter as the video shows on the final motorway run, it must've loosened off by that point.
Broke mine aswell bro. Sounded nice fluttering lol
1:57 is that Polo your friend? or someone else who thought u wanna race him? hahahaha
I recognised the plate because its owned by one of the tuners at EcoTune (I couldn't remember his name at the time) - I'm pretty sure it a development car as well so it's highly tuned - you can find the owner Tony on Instagram @T88BOL , I don't know him personally but seems like a top guy..
I’ve got an under post code at the mo code that b do valve ,,code p029900...
Underboost
REF D leak like a sieve. It REQUIRES boost to make it seal tight, so when the revs are low and the boost is low you don't get it to seal.
You know all this now since it was 2 years now. hah.
I thought diverter valves lose power on these cars?
Mk5 GTI came from factory with a diverter valve, they end up ripping (causing power loss) so it's been revised multiple times
@@HimiJ ohhh, good to know.
Keep up the mk5 videos, theyre really helpful.
I feel like Nobody really has the mk5 anymore since the 7.5 dropped.
Appreciate the comment! 👊🏼
