I found some dv's and was just wondering if i could do the instal myself, im assuming you can because they are right there in the open, but if anyone could tell me how and the dificulty it would be a big help!

 

They're were really simple on my 2.7T. It only took about 20 minutes. Once you find the DVs you just loosen (or cut) the clamps, unplug the hoses from the current DVs, put in the new ones just like the old ones were and tighten everything down. I used a little cooking oil to lube the hoses before pushing them back onto the DVs. That made it a little easier.

 

Very easy install, all you need is some replacement vacuum hose and some 4" wire ties!

OOOO

 

Thanks, but before i go cutting out ties and taking stuff apart, the diverter valves are right under the 2.7t plastic bit between the pipes correct??

 

Yup. They have three hoses conneted. A tiny one on top, a medium on the side and a larger one on the bottom.

 

I believe if you dont cut any of the hoses, just loosen the clamps and such you can use the same hoses and just drop in the new valves.

 

^^ true dat. I used my existing hoses and haven't had any trouble.

 

Hey trapped, just curious, what DV's did you go with?

 

I still have not changed them... im doing the o2 sensors, the APR chip, then the dv's... any recomendations, are vast's pretty good, they are cheap!

 

Just FYI, this job is a bit of a PITA, but definitely not rocket science. I ended up with a little less skin on my knuckles, and found myself out shopping for vacuum hose and zip ties. Some curse words may have been uttered during the job too. I just wouldn't go as far as calling this job easy. My hoses were a pain to get off the old valves. Good luck!
