E36 318is DISA valve

[Venom]

Has anyone here had trouble with the DISA valve in the intake manifold? It's the one that switched inlet tract length. What are the failure symptoms you have seen if you have.
Any idea if they are only available from BMW?
Is the e46 one the same as the e36?

I think I have one of these still attached to the manifold somewhere in the shed.

Can have a look for you this eve?

Yeah sure fi you woudln't mind. There is a guy down here in Kerry quite near to me that breaks e36's as well so I shoudl be able to get one if I need it. The question is really if all 2nd hand ones will have similar wear.

I'll have a look. :wink:
