63K miles and I'm starting to think I should just replace them... just because. They've NEVER been replaced, as far as I know.

Anyone else running stock/original DV's?

I replaced mine with Forge 007's at 60k just for a piece of mind.

Mine replaced with Hyperboost HX compact Diverter Valves at 30k km.

Replaced mine at roughly 40k with the Bosch 710N's but only as a precaution. Didn't know of any problems at the time but once replaced could hear the new ones working.

I have the APR R1's installed for the last 20K and they work fine but initially they made a lot of honking sounds at part throttle but in the last 6 months they've been quiet, maybe they needed to break-in. If I was to do it all over I think I woudl just go with the Bosch 710N's.

Stock at 76k ... what's the concern, have I missed something?

I think they wear out after a while, causing sporadic performance. I'm probably going to have mine changed out sometime very soon just as a precaution.

78K, and i think i'm all original. not seeing any drop in performance (from DV anyway).

The exact same thought is going through my head. I'm going to get some new ones because they are so cheap and easy to change.

@RS6-4dr.. : Did you notice any difference with the 710N over the 710P's?
