Technical Relocating the dump valve on my JTD

[mikelotus]

Can anyone tell me how to relocate the dump valve on my stilo multiwagon ?
I know that it's a common thing to move due to problems with muck and debris stopping it from working.
I know that Fiat moved it to the battery tray but don't know how they operate the valve.

Cheers

Mike

I never knew the JTD had a dump valve, what is it? Overboost?

It doesn't have a dump valve. No Diesel does unless someone has added one because the like the silly woosh noise when you tale your foot off the accelerator.

You probably mean overboost valve.

I moved mine last weekend, but I don't think it is really worth doing.

What you should do is take the little filter off the top and clean it. also unplug the connector and check for corrosion.

To access it, take out the airbox and MAF together, from under the car, then it is easy to get to and only held in by two 10mm bolts.

john, i think it'll be very beneficial for the forum if you could write some guides on what you do.

you've tackled lots and lots of different things yourself
