HI There

can anyone tell me if im goin made or not .
the other day i fitted a spare forge dump valve to my97 2000 turbo ,was ok for ten mins then started tickin over like a sack of sh1te. stripped down dv to find lower spring had broken , ne way 1 email to forge later and service kit arrived free of charge(which was nice) serviced and refited dv , later in the day whilst drivin CEL came on for couple of mins then went off. later again went to shop (10min drive) CEL wason all the way there, did not come on once on journey home.
also the tishhhh as i call it is really short. could this all be caused be the wrong tension spring in the dv.

 

Mate, I know what you mean.. I haven't had the CEL light come on, but since I changed my spring in the forge dv because again the original snapped mine seems to be running ****e as if its missing or something plus my sssshhhhhh! sound is shortened and only sounds good when I boot her!

 

i thought it could be the upper spring tension being to tight and returning the piston to quick. i know the do for springs for dif presure.

 

First thing would be to check the fault code stored in your ECU.

Well, what i've tried tonight is: Disconnect the battery terminals (negative and live) then place them together and leave overnight this will reset the ECU..... reconnect the terminals back together and that should do it! I hope.... I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow if you like.. see if it's worked on mine!

 

Do this overnight! I was advised

 

a guy on tyneteesscoobies was just sayin he had same problem . however could never get a code for a fault just was not there . in the end he put oem dv back on no problem since......

 

Alrite, I tried disconnetting the battery terminal has mentioned earlier and the car seems to running much better alot smoother @ idle.. early days yet though but seems to be running much nicer!

 

keep us posted mate if all is well i may be following your route.

 

i got a delivery from forge this morning a new tension spring a few shims and a new strenghtend lower spring and a nice forge sticker all free of charge.(just the way i like it) all in all in the last week they have sent me 2 service kits a new tension spring and new lower springs and shims total cost incl postage over £50, all free.

all fitted and problem solved , no cel and a lovely little tishhhhh ..... thank god there are some customer friendly firms out there... thank you forge....
