How do I know if I have the good DV valve (710N) in my car.

What do you mean by "good"? Good as in working? If it's not honking
and if you're able to hold boost, it's working.

Or good as in 710N as opposed to a 710A, which is the stock DV on an a4?
On the outside, they look identical. You'd have to take it out and find
the part number that's printed on it (black on black unfortunately).
One says 710N, the other says 710A.

Cheers,

Thanks Pete. Now I have to find where it is located.

Here you go:

It's actually a real pain in the *** to get to on the A4. Start by
getting under the car, taking the belly pan off, and looking up near the
bumper on the driver's side. If you still have your original BPV in
there, make sure you have spare clamps because the ones that are on
there are one-time use, so after you take them off, you won't be able to
reuse them, at least some of them.

Good luck.
