Andrew Dunk Shaw Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Guy's im after a bit of info, Above the turbo's theres a valve with two 25mm (approx) pipes going into the bottom and one 10mm (approx) pipe going to the top, i'll take a pickie if no one knows what im going on about but if you do, does this valve need to sit as vertical as possible. Im just in the process of changing hose's on my car and thought i'd ask. Cheers in advance of your witty replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THOR Racing Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Andrew, This sounds like the recirulation valve. (The stock BOV) Shiny thing that looks like a top hat. I wouldn't think it makes any difference which way up it is, gravity may play a small part in it though as a vacuum on the small hose causes the diaphram inside to move and the valve open. Might make it slightly harder to move if upside down, but I don't think anything significant. Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Dunk Shaw Posted February 5, 2003 Author Share Posted February 5, 2003 This is the valve im on about. With my new hose's it sits at a bit off vertical and was unsure if that would mess things up, cheers Pete and Ibrar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Hi Andrew, It won't matter one jot what angle it sits at. Cheers, Nathan TDI PLC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Dunk Shaw Posted February 5, 2003 Author Share Posted February 5, 2003 Thanks Nathan, I was having a bit of bother trying to get the 2 bottom hose's made exactly the same as the stock one's. I wish this snow would bugger off, then i'd pop down and see you at TDI, its chucking it down up here in the Mids, dont think i'll be going home if this carries on.
