Default I think my dv's are leaking...

so I brought the car into the dealer this morning...it's still under original warranty...and I asked them to pressure test to see if the dv's are still good. What are the chances they agree that they are bad? The reason I feel they are going is because I hear a blow off type sound when I let off the throttle, as opposed to while throttling, which I understand to be more of a TBB problem.

Also, if they are bad, would they replace my dv's with TT dv's, if requested, under warranty?

My dealer replaced with 710Ns without me asking or telling them, they were free too. :- )

Default bov sound is because of a bad dv. a pressure test would not show since both

sides of the valve get pressurized ..
i did mine under warranty and did not want to put in 710N's.

Default either drive the car and listen for bov sound or just

pressure test the dv's separately. but i think they just change them anyway is someone complins about the bov sound.. they will not take time to test it.. i bet .
