Default Oh, Audi Parts Dept...

Well, just called my local Audi dealer wanting to inquire if they had any 710n DV's in stock. I felt confusion on the other end of the line so I go on by saying that its the diverter valve that is associated with the turbo - you know kind of like a blow-off valve, but it is a diverter valve. I get "I have no idea what that is." Does someone know where I can get the Volks part # for the 710n. I have a 2002 A4 1.8T and want to upgrade. Thanks.

Samething happened to me. Then I told them ok I have 2000 TT and I need Diverter Valve for my 2000 TT then they understand because they have no idea personally, they just look up the computer...

Try it, they will find the part

I see now...Grasshopper learn...think as the Audi part person - get into his mind...

The dude had trouble understanding what a diverter valve was for an A4, but if we can get over that, I will definately try the 2000TT thing. Otherwise ECS, here I come.

Thanks all.

What would be the benefit of upgrading the diverter from oem, to an oem for a TT?

Not much unless you are going to put in a chip, in which case the original diverter valve will not hold.

so i should get 2 of the 710N? I don't think there is anything wrong with mine. but they are cheap enough, if it will save my *** it's worth it, so there are no performance gains?
I also have the APR 93 Chip.

no point in buying 2 of them unless you own an S4. Diverter valves don't have any performance gains. They only restore your power back to the way it is suppose to be (providing the dv you replace is bad).
