DISA Valve, replace or upgrade?

[Steve169]

Hi, was having to the DISA valve on the Z4 I've bought, can hear a rattling, not sure if it should be zero rattling as I've not owned one before.

Decided it's better getting it sorted anyways.

What's the preferred option? A new one like

Or upgrading the existing with

Is the any reason the first one is so cheap?

Cheers

Hmmm, in fact after reading about the quality of the cheaper replacements, upgrade kit it is i think!

Yeah do the X8R kit. Easy to fit and good quality. They used to have a discount code ‘VALUED’. Not sure if it still works but try it on their web site. I think it gave 5% off?

Cheers, was looking at the I6 one as well, seems to get decent feedback

I think they’re both very similar. I’ve bought from both companies and they’re both good

And I don’t think I could have used the word ‘both’ in that sentence any more if I tried! :rofl:

Sounds quite the rattle from mine, not driving anywhere in the near future ! need to send the EWS away for a key anyways

Get a replacment. Ideally a beamer part. The kit does not include the seal on the bracket around the butterfly valve.
