Diverter Valve Failure - Audi B9 S4

Is your B9 S4, S5 or SQ5 experiencing a ton of compressor surge? It may be your recirculation valve failing. This has been a common issue across VW, Audi and related products over the years. There are always new revisions coming out and today I'm going to replace my diverter valve with a new one. I started getting horrible surging recently and traced it down to the original diverter valve which is an older revision than the most current. My car is right around 23,000 miles at the time of the video.

This kit from 12 Volt Solutions makes it super easy to get the feature right in your original remote. This is the second kit from this company that I've installed and I'm happy with the quality so far.
