So, bought my E86 si back in September 20. Drove it for a year and knew from the off that one of the disa valves was rattling, never got work during the year of driving but thought it might be lacking some torque. No real driving issues with it apart from slight hesitation on WOT.
Fast forward to now and decided to get the big disa out and check it was loose and get a new item ordered and fitted. Disa out and the below pic tells you all you need to know!
Flap detached (now recovered from intake manifold, that was the rattle). Pin is nowhere to be seen or found. No damage to any valves or evidence that it smacked into the cylinder head on the way down.
Questions: Where is the pin? What was the original pin made of? Should I no rebuild until the little bugger is found?
Looking forward to some replies.
