Clutch delay valve for 320d

Good day.

Does anyone know where I could get a Clutch delay valve(not from bmw) new or used and a estimated price? In JHB if a walk in store but hopefully online.

Hi, Many people actually remove this part completely as it can cause jerky gear changes and slow pull away.

Thank you. Didnt know you could completely remove it. Was just going to bored it out and have a spare in case it didnt work as I expected. Will give it a try

With a little more research it seems that the e90 uses a plastic valve (last valve in the image). Would it still be possible to just remove the valve without other modifications?

I removed mine from my Z4 M this weekend, made a huge difference... You can just open the delay valve out and then tighten the lines back together. it May require you to bleed the clutch while you are there, but its easy, watch you tube videos and check online DIY's.

Edit: jack your car up on the passenger side, crawl under and check the valve should be somewhere on the passenger side of the bell housing, you will be able to check if its metal or a plastic one. if its metal, just remove it. Plastic is another story, i dont know how that works.

Just remove the valve, fit the line back to the slave cylinder and bleed it, top up fluid and you good to go. :rollsmile:
