E90 (2006 330xi) CDV (Clutch Delay Valve) ?

Aug 02, 2006 2 Replies

Has anyone done the Clutch Delay Valve modification to an E90 (i.e., removing the original and replacing with a gutted one)?



As described at

Instructions are for earlier models, wondering if anyone's done it with the new '06 3 series.



What tools? Where's the CDV? Bleeding is same as with other models? Will I need a PowerBleeder, or is an assistant on the clutch pedal sufficient?



Also the modified CDV from Zeckhausen looks a lot different than the other units (black plastic, with O ring). Others are plated metal.



Will be getting new E90 in about a month and this is the first thing I will be doing to it.



Thanks for any guidance.


Well, you could save some money and remove it for *FREE*

removing it completely will void his warranty - if they ever figure it out, that is why the modded ones are sold.

My 2003 330xi is out of warranty, so I just removed it, and love the results.

I would contact zeckhausen and ask - they have helped me with info by email many times. good guys.
