    A4 B7 2.0 TFSi - DV Noise

    Hi, yes the sound was there before the BSR, and it's still the same. The only reason I mentioned it was because I was driving with the window down to hear what the BSR sounded like which made the noise more obvious. Having done more reading, I'm not the first to have this sound. Others have...

    A4 B7 2.0 TFSi - DV Noise

    How much did it cost you buddy? My noise is only when revs are on the way down, not all the time.

    A4 B7 2.0 TFSi - DV Noise

    Thanks Molnboman, appreciate you taking a listen. It's been like that since I bought it 9 months ago, so I'd like to get to the bottom of it and solve it if possible. I changed the DV about 8 weeks ago and the noise didn't change, so I'm not surprised its not DV related. Thanks again...

    A4 B7 2.0 TFSi - DV Noise

    Hi gents, thanks for the responses. I'm not sure how to post up a soundclip, I just recorded it with my iphone and it's in an M4a format. I can email it if you PM me your email address. Sorry to be a pain. Dan

    So I'm getting rid of the dreaded "chrome" trim.

    Chance of damaging what mate? Dan

    So I'm getting rid of the dreaded "chrome" trim.

    That's the one I bought, it is cracking quality from what I can tell. I'm applying this weekend so I'll let you know how pliable it is.

    So I'm getting rid of the dreaded "chrome" trim.

    I have bought some shadowline tape. With window surround chrome, how do you get it to stick when you fold it over the edge and underneath the chrome trim? Cotton wool bud or something?

    Best place to get a pinch bolt?

    They also have them on eBay.

    A4 B7 2.0 TFSi - DV Noise

    Hi all, Since I bought my car, I noticed what I assume to be a noisy diverter valve. Assumed it was split, so changed to a rev D. Power jumped hugely, but the noise is still apparent. The noise in question is a fast ticking / whirring noise when revs are dropping. It happens when driving...

    Replacement headlights from FK

    I have seen these on a couple of cars and the DRL's are very dim, practically only visible from dusk. That and the reports of terrible output on the dipped beam put me off buying them. Dan

    Milky chrome... gone

    Thanks for the reply bud, I guessed it would have needed two pieces. Like I said, that looks awesome in the pictures. A job well done. I did mine with black electrical tape as a temp measure to check I liked it, and was going to go down the plasti-dip route. For £20, I think I might give...

    Milky chrome... gone

    That looks awesome. How did you get on with the rearmost curve? I can't see how it would bend round that curve. Cheers Dan

    B7 Diverter Valve

    I don't think it throws up errors, but a boost log might lead you to the issue. From the benefit of my hindsight, and the fact it is actually a very easy swap, I'd say change it for a rev D when you can. It's a £40 part and an hour of your time. Your car is the same as mine, and if you can...

    B7 Diverter Valve

    Yes, when stationary and revving, on comedown it was quite "whooshy". It's not half as loud now, but fantastically quicker. I'm using a load more petrol now as I can't stop myself feeling the boost. Unbelievable doesn't cover the difference!!!

    B7 Diverter Valve

    Thanks bud, appreciate the sentiment. Finally did it today, hired a self service 2 post lift at "Ramp & Wrench" in Coventry. £15 for the hour, and I just did it in that time. To say R&W is awesome is an understatement. Anyway, cut the cable ties holding my undertray on and that dropped...

    B7 Diverter Valve

    Cheers Bez. Not had any work done on my car yet, so don't know any local specialists. Anybody know of any around Birmingham or the Black Country? Cheers Dan

    B7 Diverter Valve

    How much do people charge for fitting these if the valve is supplied by me? Just a rough estimate would be fine please. And if anybody in the West Midlands fancies making themselves £50 to do it for me, give me a shout. Cheers Dan
