Remove CDV

[srhutch]

Ok i dont have a full grasp so this might not be 100% correct.

But my understanding the CDV is to prevent harsh and sudden shocks causing damage to the DMF. From surges of power from say the clutch being drooped or poor gear changes. Its sole purpose is to protect the DMF from shock.

Trouble is Mat, is slows down engagement of the clutch, masking the bite point and causing slippage that wears the clutch prematurely. Also when you are going for it, it hinders smooth changes.

Your quoting Matt from over three years ago :-?

Someone has cottoned onto this I've just seen this for sale https://www.zeckhausen.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=3_79_2501_150_236&products_id=273

$120

I think that part is unnecessary as you can just discard the cdv & reconnect the hydraulic pipe without it?

Yep ditch the CDV and the shitty dual mass go single mass if you want clutch feel.

Thinking of doing a CDV delete but haven't got garage facilities. Does anyone know can it be accessed by jacking the car up and getting underneath?

It can be done with the car on axle stands as others have done it.
