Default Anyone in the Philly area want to replace my diverter valves?

I bought 710N's and I don't have the space or the know how to replace them myself. Wanted to check before I went to my local shop.

Open up the hood and take a look. If you can fog a mirror you can change them.

X2 - all you need is a screwdriver.

They are simple. Screwdriver and 15 minutes max.

Default Just pop of the front engine cover, they are in plain sight after that.

Just make sure that the current clamps are the screw type, if not go buy a couple 1in size at any auto or hardware store and off you go!

Default You pull off the engine cover and you will see the pair. Here is a pic.

the small hoses are attched to the diverter valves.

Default ask in the Philly forum. but, this is easier than changing the oil.

please don't pay someone to do this.

Default This about the easiest thing to DIY on 2.7T, doesn't require space or know-how

Pop the engine cover and they're in plain sight
