Right. So, I'm looking to test my DV, OK? I have a sneaking suspicion that the hesitation I'm getting when the car's under load is a leak developing in the diaphragm, and I want to correct this ASAP. The dealer found no DTCs, and "road tested" it for 2 miles in Beckenham before pronouncing himself unable to find a problem... So I'm taking things into me own hands here. Volkspares can supply me with a new, "N" revision part within 24 hours if needs be, so if I find a problem I can replace the DV.
Took the engine cover off, there's the DV (which appears to be an "H", hooray. Not), and it's held in place by some really fiendish looking clips. I can see they're one-use only, but no amount of prying with a screwdriver would get the things off. So - 2 questions:
1: For all you DV-changers out there, how the hell do you get the ****** clips off? I am seriously wondering whether I could just trim the pipes down a bit /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif cos I can't see how on earth you can get the buggers off otherwise!
2: Can one get hold of replacement clips? I ask, as I can't see how I could get a jubilee clip into the depression on the top of the DV... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Big ups, and indeed props, to anyone with answers... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
