Had the common problem with the DV on a 2.0T FSI remapped engine (after installing a K&N panel filter).
I felt a sudden loss of boost (and whistling like a kettle!) whilst trying to pull away from a Focus ST (Mk2)
So after a search on here, I decided it was the DV with a split Diaphram that was to blame. So ordered a new upgraded 'D' type DV to fit myself.
I can tell you this looks easy and simple enough on paper but by 'eck it ain't I'm not too bad with cars and have changed most things on my previous cars.
This was tricky and fiddly! It was very tight to get at and the bolts took ages to undo as the wasn't much turning space and my big hands didn't help. So after loads of managed to get it swapped over.
After checking the original DV found it had in fact split, which was a relief after all that effort getting it off. Plus the cost of the new DV not going to waste! It's worth persevering and was alot easier to get back on.
You will need a 4mm allen key, torx set/driver (T30) and small ratchet set and a nice hot bath/shower to relieve the serious amount of aching and pulled muscles , plus lying on the ground when it was snowing ,hailing then sunny then hailing again didn't help
Then I took it for a test drive, it's like I'm driving someone else's car. Now it feels like it has been remapped! Where as before it was quickish but didn't feel any quicker than my Anniversary Golf with only 180HP.
If anyone has the same symptoms and their car feels underpowered and you can hear your Turbo whistling from in your car with the stereo on!! Then it could be your old DV splitting. ( on TFSI cars normally before 2006)
The upgraded DV part Number is V06H 145 710 D and cost -£50.29 Inc VAT. And is the only type available now anyway, so you can't go wrong!
So, thankyou Audi-sport.net for the info it really did help:icon_thumright:
Maybe someone might get some help from my experience.
