DISA valve replaced (just in time?)

[toolmanchris]

Is this the one you mean?

Ive got the 2.2 engine and to be honest thought it didnt get this issue?

I looked at the above eBay advert and clicked on the compatability link and it said "Does not fit BMW Z4 2003 Convertible 2.5i". Has anybody fitted one of these kits to an early 2.5i Z4 and, if so, which one did you buy? Please advise. Thanks.

I've just checked and it says the same for a 2005 2.2

Ordered mine a few days ago.

To check condition of yours, try this:

Warm engine running at tick over. Have a listen at the disa area. If you're getting a rattly/tractor type sound the paddle is probably lose in the bell housing. On the disa unit is an electrical connector, pull it of. If there is no change in sound from the unit, yours is probably working OK.
