When I took my DISA valve out of the inlet manifold I could tell straight away it was broken! The photographs show that the flap had broken away from the operating arm. I looked at a three different options for repairing this. I had seen some spurious new DISA valves for sale but figured that if I had an original BMW valve that could be repaired then I should do that. I found two different repair kits on eBay, one in plastic and the other (this one) in aluminium. I decided that as the original in plastic had broken that I should go with the aluminium kit. This did not disappoint. The kit arrived next day. There are instructions on the internet showing how to fit and test the kit. The instructions are very good, the pieces all assembled up very easily and from unbolting the broken Disa valve to refitting it all reapired up was less than 30 minutes including reading the instructions. My car did have lean codes but the more noticable problem was that it felt flat with poor throttle response. I now have a far better throttle response and the car does not feel flat any more. Although I have replaced the DISA valve as part of a batch of work to address the lean codes, I have done any changes one item at a time so can actually say for certain that the repair kit cured my problem.Read full review

Works like a charm! My DISA valve is now fixed, the old flapper was non operative as the plastic crank inside was broken. It's great quality and came with all the necessary parts. I highly recommend it as a permanent fix if you've been having problems with your DISA..

I had looked at cheaper product on market and read the review on them almost all of them are poor quality and risky as still there is a pin at one end. I bought the X8R kit , it arrived next day by Royal mail .you can tell straight away the quality that has gone into engineer this product and therefore I did not mind paying a bit more for quality product .came with instruction in proper English not translated from Chinese !. It was fitted with no problem and am very happy with this item.

Saw these recently whilst looking into E46 issues and DISA was one of the items mentioned. Whilst looking into this issue X8R has been mentioned on many videos as a great aftermarket alternative to OEM so I was happy to pay the £65 and upon receiving the item quality was aluminium as mentioned and all sealants and grease were provided for the job all you need is the tools and if you get lost they even have a good video explaining how to replace the flap that a novice like myself could follow and highly recommend this product.

The kit arrived very quickly. (1-2 days) The instructional video online was clear, but only found through google (maybe pop a slip in the kit with a link to the video) That said it only took an hour to remove, tear down, rebuild and install the valve. Good quality and piece of mind
