Default Bosch $26 a piece, change them out over 5 times before you hit the cost of the others!

Also I don't think there is a correct valve out yet, I believe they are all weak sauce.. But at least the 710N's are a factory part and damn cheap.. And work..

Default Meaning for $26 each, vs $150+ each, you can buy new ones

Quite a few times if they fail, vs buying an overpriced aftermarket one that may or may not fail, if it fails, how much to replace???

when we mention 710N's it's the revised TT Audi BPV..

I have $300 of BPV's sitting here (Bailey, crap!) but they are on my shelf, won't run them.

But I do have the 710N valves in my car, cost about $26.00 each and work just as good as any aftermarket valve that is out right now..

Not saying that a REAL fix/better aftermarket won't come out soon but right now, save your money, get the revised audi product and buy yourself a short shifter with the savings!

Hey will it make any sound? Or would it just be calm as the stock ones?

I've had my Baileys from AWE for about 27k miles now without a single problem.

Default Problem is you don't always know when one is failing...

...on my old A4 my stock valve was slowly dying and really didn't give me any failure symptoms. When I finally ditched it for a Bailey I was shocked at how much better it performed versus the stock Bosch. For me, purchasing a high-quality BPV such as the Bailey's provides peace-of-mind that I won't have to worry about the BPV's again.
