Yo ppl, i have been looking for a manual or anything that can help me change my diverter valves on my 2001 2.7t, i dont wanna take it to the dealer its just to much hassle, so does anyone have a easy way of explaning, where, how and how much time it might take me? and i know that u must adjust it, otherwise it increases turbo lag, if im correct.
looked and searched everywhere, but didnt find a simillar question/answer, so any help would be appreciated!

 

they are under the front plastic cover of your engine ... 2 little black things ... it take about 15 mins total and u need a flathead screw driver

the easiest part to change on this car id say

 

yeah, a mech told me that too, the thing is the dealer said u have to "adjustthem" properly, i didnt really understand that part, i mean if its just a take the old one out and put the new one in situation it is easy, but i didnt understand the "adjusting the diverter valves" part, any idea? pics availabe on how or where exactley? (A) noob.

 

they are at the very front of the engine u really cant miss them ... um no adjustment necessary ... ur ecu will auto adjust if anything ... and if they were bad your car will love u lol

 

You will feel stupid if you don't replace these your self... I haven't been hands on with my audi at all but this and the intake is something you should do yourself. Only thing I would have to say is PUT THE CLAMPS ON TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT.

 

and also plug open holes with rags ... i dropped a screw down there and paid a fortune for a mechnic to take everything apart to try and find it

 

I almost did the same thing...the little nut that holds on the sensor bracket slipped and fell down onto the intake manifold. So, five thousand curse words and a long metal hanger w/ duct tape on itlater I got it out. Simple DIY...

Hey, anyone else have trouble fitting their cover backon? The one that has to be removed inorder to get out the DV's. Oh never mind, thats when I did the Samco TBB. Still, anyone have trouble fitting the cover back on. Mine kinda sticks up in the back. I think the TBB is a little beefier.

 

coors i dropped the same friggin screw down my intercooler pipe LOL now i dont feel like as much an *** hahahaha

 

I just removed the cover :X seems pretty pointless to be honest.

 

^^ what seems pointless

the cover??

I dont even leave mine on anymore haha
