Diverter valve?

[mskiba2]

Hi all, I was informed by the dealer I need a diverter valve, coolant sensor and thermostat. I seen aftermarket valves cheaper than OEM any thoughts ?
Thanks

You can get the OE DV at any place that sell BOSCH.

You are shopping at the wrong place my friend

Volkswagen New Beetle 1.8T > ES#581 Diverter Valve, 225hp Audi TT Version-Priced Each - 06A145710N

Volkswagen New Beetle 1.8T > Search > Temp Sensor > ES#1892661 Coolant Temperature Sensor With O-Ring & Clip - 059919501A

Volkswagen New Beetle 1.8T > Search > Thermostat > ES#1306802 Thermostat - 87C - 050121113C

The Diverter valve and the Coolant Sensor take about 3 to 5 minutes to install. The Thermostat is a different story. It will take about 2 - 3 hours to install. It's a pain to get to on the 1.8 engine.

When is the last time the timing belt and water pump have been replaced. Normally they replace the thermostat at the same time since it is easier to get to when everything is taken off getting to the timing belt.

What year Beetle do you have? How many miles? What type of transmission?

Yea just having a hard time finding parts other than the dealer.
Also need transmission part source, valve body bad, might need clutches and internal parts.
Boy I regret this car

Lots and lots of good parts suppliers online. GermanAutoParts, ECSTuning, autohausaz, 1stvwparts, rockauto.

Might be cheaper just to buy a new transmission rather than just replace the valve body and try to rebuild it.
There is one place that sells them for $1995.00 but I can't find the link at the moment.

[mskiba2]

The best price I can find is $3000 + for tranny
Also the diverter valve above looks nothing like the one I was told I need .

What year is your beetle? It's a 1.8 Turbo, right?

That link you posted above to Nappa doesn't show any diverter valve. but there is really only one type and even the aftermarket ones should look very similar.





Depending on what year your beetle is will depend what type of transmission you will need. There is the old and crappy O1M 4 speed which can be had for around 2k plus shipping online but then there is the 5 speed and the 6 speed tiptronic transmissions which will be a lot more expensive.

The NAPA # is CRB 230517, similar to dealers, metal body. maybe CA emissions might be different ?

I am trying to get it smogged to get rid of it on trade in,

The NAPA part number you are referring to is not the diverter valve for the turbo, it is the Combi valve used in the secondary air injection pump system for emissions.

The diverter valve is what Indy Tom has posted.

Are you sure that you have the terminology correct as they are two different parts?

I thank all for the help, you solved the confusion,
I believe the dealer called the combi valve a diverter valve, because it was an emission air leak problem I will double check with them.
Again thanks a lot everyone.
