Bailey DV30 Question

sirjimalot · Jan 14, 2008

Ive got a bailey dv30 im running an open cone filter and a remap,

now not that im bothered but every thread i have read regarding the dv everyone seems to be saying its really loud with an open cone, now mine is quieter than the standard one was with the open cone so just wondering could something be wrong or what?

cheers

My DV30 is quite loud even through my enclosed BMC CDA set up. I don't think the DV will be the cause of no noise as even the standard DV is loud through my BMC.

thats what i mean my standard valve is really loud, so why is it that my bailey is really quiet??

is the dv fooked

andycupra · Jan 15, 2008

sounds like the DV is operation slowely or is leaking.

or connected pipework maybe.

cant be pipe work, all have just been replaced and i tried my standard valve back on and its still loud, so i dont get why the bailey is quiet. and no its not fooked cause its only a few months old.

any other ideas?

the valve must be fooked

1.the quad ring on the piston may be split

2.could be leaking from round the hosetail

3.could be a week ass spring inside

right ok. well its off atm so i will investigate laters. if all is well and it is just a poo spring where could i get a better one from?

OK so i got home and opened it up and this is what i found.

Now there doesnt seem to be a seal anywhere,it looks like there is one on that pic, but am i summit missing or wht??

Beaker™ · Jan 15, 2008

Mine looks the same, appears to have no seal. Look REAL close, IIRC there is one its just very hard to see.

Did you have it the right way round? Pressure sat on the side of the piston, not the base. :blink:

Beaker™ · Jan 15, 2008

My DV30 sounds exactly the same either way around.....

Well I tried mine the other way round once and it was much quieter! It was just a thought. I don’t think the baileys like being run with the pressure on the base of the piston.

Beaker™ · Jan 15, 2008

Strange, sure mines the same either way. Worth checking though.

sirjimalot · Jan 15, 2008

yeh its the right away around. i have tried it both ways and sounds the same, just really quiet. and i believe the dv30 is suposed to be mounted the smae way as the OEM valve and apparently cant be used on the side like the forge valves can.

However i know a few people do run them on th eside and have no problems.

So im stumped.
