dump valve not dumping

[scoobymark]

On way home tonight my DV 12 dump valve stopped dumping air[8-)]

checked connections out and all ok, so gave it full revs when going up the gears and it dumped air with a load pop / backfire from exhaust.

it worked for a while but was not as loud as usual, then stopped working again.

any suggestions?

it is only 4 months old

i had one on my 05 wrx mate and tbh it was pash after bout 3 months or so. leakin air when driving along normal and not dumpin either also noticed that i was losing loads of oil with it. dunno what you can do bout it but it ditched mine and bout a xs power one from WUZ. Hes a top bloke give him a shout and see if he can point you in the right direction. oh and the xs one never mnisses a beat and iv stopped losin oil. and its louder lol. greig

where does the lube go, it looks like a one piece unit [8-)]

what kinda lube? no smart answers please!

[Gumball]

lube whit?

Take it off and uncsrew it. Have a loof inside then blow any stuff out, before putting it back on.

There could be soemthing not opening inside or such like.

Put if back onto the intercooler and try and drive it.

If that doesnt work, then in my experience your going to have to take it back to the dealer and hope they exchange it.

or get a new one. FORGE isnt too expensive and works well. If you do have the cash then i would get an HKS SSQV

Bin the Baileys...................seriously! RIGHT NOW! Idle issues and leaking on boost are all on their way to your car very soon with this kind of Dump Valve!

2nd-hand forge for your car will cost you around 60 pounds. Hardly earth-shattering in price.

If this seems too much for you...........you've bought the wrong kind of car!

Take it back to wherever you got it from and demand a refund and then use that cash to buy a Forge one, shouldn't be much, if any, of a difference.

wuz i have had one on for 4 months now and none of the above.

Big Time !

Used to have one and after about 3 months I was sick of the ECL coming on due to it leeking under boost and off it for that matter [:@]

Same here, had a baileys and it started leaking. Fitted an HKS SSQV which was great. Sold it and wish I hadnt.

paid next week, so bin with the Baileys and in with either a forge or maybe push to a hks one[]

Spotted in the for sale section a turbosmart vee port dump valve for 100 quid.

is this type any good and is it louder than baileys dv12 

[Gumball]

yeah thats a decent valve as well. you do realise that potentially your better just selling the one you have and putting the standard one back on?

[mrs. jc scoob]

Just bought myself a HKS SSQV from Ebay £180 all in and its brand new quite good price I think have seen them for £280 on Ebay before []

[st3ph3n]

Good price! I got mine for pretty much that (£165+£15 postage I think) from an ebay shop in the USA. Took less than a week to arrive, marked as a gift so no customs, and has been on for about a year now. It's the business.

Ive got a Blitz DV , not the cheapest , but you get lots of  SNAP, CRACKLE, and POP for your money, with the odd FLAME thrown in for good measure [] [] []
