TDI conversion in WBX

Post by KINGPRAWN »

Just had the conversion done and have to say I'm VERY pleased .. Can anybody tell me if the n75 valve should click constantly as soon as the ignition is live ... If it shouldn't how should I go about sorting it .. Or does it just need replacing ??? Drives very well, with loads of power !!!

Welcome to the tdi club :mrgreen:
N75 shouldn't click constantly, sounds like it's duff... Can be bought new off ebay, just get a genuine one. I got mine from vw. Just confirm by swapping it over with the N18 valve, if clicking stops replace the N75. If it doesn't you'll have to investigate further.
