VAG Parts question/Diverter Valve issue (I think)

Hi guys,

A few months back I was having some throttle related issues, basically the standard ones where the consensus is diverter valves or MAF. I thought to save messing around I would buy the diverters and the MAF to make sure, this fixed the problem. A few days ago the throttle issue has came back but different this. I think last time I had a MAF issue as the power loss was more consistant but this power loss is happens around 3000-3500 rpm, the power fade then comes back. I think the diverters have gone what do you all think, also will I be able to return them to audi as they are genuine parts just bought through VAG parts?

Cheers in advance.

Have you pressure tested the DV's to see if they're at fault and not something else? You need to get a top end pressure test carried out.

That begs the question where do i go for a pressure test and how much would it cost???

Audi won't accept parts that were purchased from VAGPARTS, they won't even accept if they were purchased from another Audi franchise.
