Dump Valve On Mark 4 Golf

[vwgolfturbo]

just put a dump valve on my golf 1.8T and a few days later my engine management light has come on can anyone shed some light why this is?

its something to do with the wastegate... vw engines and the 1.8t inparticular dont like dump valves..i could tell you why ..but ud be better to ask a mechanic..i dont want to give u the wrong info mate. but if ya want i could soon find out
cheers chris

would i be causing any damage driving my car with the management light on? one of my friends is a vag mechanic so he is on the case to find out more info for me, do you know if there is a easy way around this problem? or is the best way to just get a re-circ valve? which will obviously make no noise? thanks for your help

if it ent broke, dont fix it, cliche i know but always true and always works! i would think the best thign to do, get the car back to using the parts it was using before you put that dump valve on it. if your mate is a VAG mechanic, heel be able to do this pretty easily, should be bolt on bolt off business.... same would apply to your other post abut this

Forge recirculating valves are designed to replace the standard OEM plastic Bosch jobbie ! See their website for more details...Hope this helps...

in hiensight yeh i would have left it as standard,but too late for that now,so by the looks of things i am going to have to replace everything i took off and cut into and blank off to fit the bailey valve and replace the original dump valve with a forge one. oh well. does anyone know if i am going to cause my engine/turbo any harm by running my car for the next coupple of days until i can get this fixed?

i wouldnt have thought so.... would think the EMS light's on because the turbo isnt working in the recognised way without that recirc valve. might need a techies opinion on that one though!
