Iv been reading about the n249 bypass and like the sound of this cheap and easy mod but iv got the standard Bosch DV fitted, would it make any difference or would I need another DV like a forge 007? Iv got a 2003 cupra 180 is this the auq engine I'm not sure?
Cheers Jamie 

im not positive but i dont think it would make a difference which dv you have fitted bypassing the n249 valve would have the same effect no matter what dv you have just the bosch one wont be as loud and as for the engine code the only way to be certain is take the engine case off and it will be stamped on the lower left corner of the engine just above the injector rail and to the left a little bit. hope this helps :)

right ppl keep askin so here it is, this is the quick guide on n249 bypass for AUQ engine!

1. Remove the vacuum hose between the Fuel Pressure Regulator (FPR) and the underside of the intake manifold.

2. Use 4mm silicone vacuum hose and go direct from newly freed Vac port on intake manifold to top of DV.

3. Put a 6mm BRASS T-piece in the new hose parallel to the FPR and run another length of hose to the FPR vacuum port.

4. Cable Tie the new vac hose wherever it connects to something else.

5. Remove the Vacuum resevoir (Ugly black plastic thing directly over the No.4 cylinder coil pack). The hose going into it simply pulls off.

6. Plug the Vac Resevoir hose with a bolt and clamp it in there with a worm drive or jubilee clip. Do the same with the hose that used to be connected to the top of the Dump valve.

how would this bypass work with my boost guage? as the hose from that runs to my FPR. is it a case of running another t piece to for the boost guage or can i run a hose from under the manifold up to the dv?

cheers, james
