Clutch Delay Valve (CDV)

You can remove it completely or remove it remove the inner bit and refit, the American alternative is not required.

thanks Daz, even though I'm sadly selling mine I will look into this as it's certainly caught me out a couple of times when I first started driving it, and it's caught out the other half and my old man, so certainly not something I'd want to happen during a test drive!
 
...and there I was almost thinking my clutch might be on the way out. Had the operation undertaken using my indy... amazed at the immediate difference.

Thanks guyz to this fabulous bit of info,

Finally after about a year i had the CDV replaced last week. Now first of all i didnt notice a big difference but after a day or so not having to worry about ninja timing with the clutch was great. I got caught out as well about a day or two before... Bounced along a main road first thing!

Cheers

CDV --------------------------------->

I have to endorse this post 100%
I have had my Z4MC for nearly 12 months. For the first 7-8 months, I honestly thought I had lost the ability to drive (manual) My last car was an M5, so I really thought I had become lazy about the simple but pleasurable act of changing gears the way you should!!!!

To anyone and everyone reading this thread; you have to change the CDV or just remove it. I went to a Beemer specialist in Ealing and paid £59- incl for the job. It has released the true potential of the car. For the first few days, I genuinely thought I had another 40BHP on tap. that is just how marked the improvement felt.

More smiles per mile that any other mod. Trust me
:P

Amazing some people think it's money well spent, others a placebo. Not sure how you could possibly feel like you have 40bhp more tho. :oops:
