[s-cars] diverter valve

[Steve Marinello]

So, I'm looking at the possibility that my diverter valve, a Stratmosphere
unit put on years ago and maintained irregularly, may be binding.  I note
that APR now has a reinforced diaphragm valve, at a time when VW/Audi has
gone to piston, and wonder if it is worth a try.  They, of course, have no
idea if it will work.  It works on  1.8t and 2.7tt engines, although not the
2.0t.  Seems to me the 1.8t upgrade valves were the ones being used on the
AAN, right?  034 states that it is a replacement for all Bosch valve apps on
Audis, VW's etc., but they would appear to be overstating the point.  Wonder
why it isn't listed for the 2.0t by APR?

 

TIA,


Steve
