replacement OEM Diverter Valve Edition 30

All early revisions on the TFSI engine seem to leak or fail eventually.
VW seem to have finally sorted this on the TSI by removing the flexible diaphragm.
This apparently also can be retrofitted to the TFSI engine ;-)

TSI (rev D) VAG OEM DV [part number 06H 145 710 D]

Ive noted it here as I reckon mines on the way out.......(or its the PCV!)

Its all in the 1's apparently!

not car related but worth a post as Im surprised by the 'statistic' and its counterintuitive.
A random set of results isnt random apparently ......

Spring ROO


Spring ROO



According to Rod Johnson recent lecture , the choice is either Grails (dynamic) or Spring ROO (java) for development.
I have to say I was well impressed by the flexibility of SpringROO , fully removable too if reqd. But still Java as I know it.
Reminded me of AppFuse ,but commonly this is used to start a project base.
Roo seemed to be both for a project start but also throughout the lifecycle.
Take or leave it as you need
It certainly seemed to take a lot of the hard work out.
Interestingly it also simplifies the service/dao pattern which Im used to.
