Seriously, though, it's pretty easy. If you have jack stands and a good jack, it should only take you 20-30 minutes to perform. Oh, and be sure to have a friend there to help you bleed the clutch. -Evan

To bleed the clutch, first pump the clutch pedal a few times to work the air through the system. Then, with a friend in the driver's seat, have them start with the clutch pedal fully extended, and open the bleed valve (circled below in red). Be sure to close the bleed valve before he reaches the floor of the clutch travel, and CLOSE THE BLEED VALVE before he pulls the clutch pedal back up. Note that they probably will have to pull it back up by hand. Repeat this process a few times, and you'll be good. Oh, and the spot where the CDV originally was is pointed to by the green arrow.

Honestly though, I'm not sure what all that tubing is doing there in the first place anyhow. Best I can think of is to keep the hot fluid from reaching the rubber clutch line and therefore expanding it. Now that I say that...it actually makes quite a bit of sense. -Evan

I have a 2006 330xi.
I took a look at my CDV with the intention of pulling it out, but I was concerned about the lack of slack in the hose. I have a picture below of the hose -- looks like a tight turn already leading up to the CDV. Am I right to assume we pull the two clips that I circled in red, and then pop the plastic part out and reconnect? I think I will order a cleaned out one and replace rather than remove.

It's actually pretty simple, I thought it would be hard. You just have to crimp the rubber hose, so brake fluid doesn't gush out. I got some in my eye. lol |

Evan, nice photos. being a noob manual driver (only 2 years manaual), I like to drive someone's car without the CDV before I terminate my CDV. Anyone in htown that removed their CDV would take me up on a test drive (lol)...

A local dealership voided my friend's (E46) transmission warranty after discovering the CDV was removed. This DIY is apparently very common with many M3's that visit their service station. Many of them probably had a CDV removal meet or something. |
