BMW E60 2006год. DISA упала на 232000 км. Симптомы: неполная тяга, вялость двигателя и ......(!) вибрации при нажатии на педаль газа на любой скорости. Автору СПАСИБО за четкое и нужное видео! Я делаю многое на машине тоже сам! Не знаю, поймёте ли русский язык, но Гугл переведет! Всем, кто читает и любит исправную BMW, удачи и любви! Я из РОССИИ!
That was cracking George; I was just checking mine and got stuck at the throttle body, so checked CZcams - as always. Your video was clear, and easy to follow - Thanks a million - I've subscribed ;-)
If you hook up a laptop with inpa software while the disa is removed but still electrically connected, you can operate the disa and see if it is opening and closing correctly on a consistent basis. Mine looked fine and worked fine most of the time. But when testing with inpa software, i could see that sometimes it would not fully open or not fully close. So will be replacing mine with a new Febi one.
@@GeorgeAusters Yes I will test the small disa valve with inpa too, when I get a chance. Although I believe the small disa operates at the high end of the rev range and thus sees much less wear than the big disa. So in theory it should last a lot longer than the big disa valve.
Just realised the rattle I’ve had since cleaning my intake is this! Shame fix parts online delivery is quite a while so what I did was order the febi one that takes 22 days for delivery and also ordered a Chinese copy off Amazon for £46 as at least it’s safe and not risking the pin or plastic going in my engine! Thanks George maybe saved my engine there mate 🙏👍
@@GeorgeAusters just the big one for now small one seems to be working fine but it will be on the list. The gearbox mount and guibo centre bearing and steering arms are first in line
Meanwhile my mechanic said it was a very difficult process to do it, so he charged me 4 hours labor time for time. Nice. I know I'm stupid, but I thought he was straightforward with me, next time when he says that I'll ask him about this DISA thing.
Hi George. Excellent video! This one and the intake manifold removal have been absolutely invaluable lately! I have a 2005 130i and have been having very similar issues to you... Developed a major rough idle this month (still not resolved but I think I've found the culprit..) and then the starter died totally last week so it kinda forced the issue and the intake manifold had to come off. Starts super quick now, valeo unit is a peach. However - upon manifold removal, something was rattling around in there which turned out to be half the flap off the large DISA! yes half! Which was worrying to say the least. I had taped up the intake ports on the head to stop anything falling in - the irony was the other half of the flap was sitting inside cylinder port #4 ! The flap had cracked in 2 straight down the spindle and the spindle had cracked off too. My car is on 90k miles and so yes, these disa valves can most certainly end up in the engine! Lucky that the starter died, really, so I had no option but to take the manifold off.. It doesn't bare thinking about. I guess the car was trying to tell me something! New DISA should be here tomorrow. Hopefully that will sort the hideous rough hunting idle (I put the DISA back in without the flap just to test had fixed the starter and that everything had been reconnected ok.) I'll update you when I get the new DISA in as it might prove useful to someone, who knows. Failing that, I'm thinking vanos / check valve cleaning may be in order. Thanks again for these vids. Super helpful to see someone else do it first on exactly the same engine. All the best
By the way, the hunting idle (which is now worse with the old DISA back in with no flap at all, than when half the DISA valve was still in there...) which shakes the car and feels like it's going to stall - settles right down after the initial open loop start up, completely disappears and becomes totally smooth, after 2 or 3 minutes. Very odd! No codes (except AUC sensor, bizarrely enough) I'm very keen to find out if it's totally down to the broken DISA ..
@@GeorgeAusters So, to update.. the rough idle which persisted after replacing the broken large DISA and entire PCV system (while changing the dead starter) was caused by - an air leak. Of course. I smoke tested the intake using a £7.99 transfer pump with a cheap cigar in the input. Worked an absolute treat! found the leak within minutes, one of the PCV hoses, the oil return, was disconnected. It was a right pain trying to reach to connect this tube when putting the intake manifold back on, I had decided to connect the lower end to the crankcase first and fit the top to the PCV while repositioning the intake. That was a mistake, it was incredibly difficult to reach at that point but I thought I had managed it. However, the starter cable pulled it off as it was being refitted into place, as it was routed the wrong side of this cable, which wasn't obvious while putting the manifold back on. If you're doing this job definitely fit the top end first, the lower end is way easier to do afterwards, believe me. So it turns out the original rough idle condition was caused by the big DISA with the totally broken flap and/or the PCV, which was letting a lot of oil into the manifold, so certainly needed replacing. Running sweet again now!
I have a question, I need to replace my disa valves both upper and lower, on my BMW E92 325i 2006. The car has only covered 48000 miles since new, however the car is hardly used as i travel a lot thus i fear some parts will deteriorate over time, thus renewing before needed. I have elected to use Febi Bilstein disa valves which i feel are as good as the OEM units, what nis your opinion? on these parts. As said parts i feel fail too because of non use and a case in point the water pump last year, luckily it failed at home so i could replace it without any need to be towed home. This was replaced with the same make as was removed from engine a Pireburg, not correct spelling sorry.
Thanks for the link where to buy the disa valve. They are the cheapest that I have found in Europe. Even I who live abroad save almost £80 when importing this part myself.
Has anyone here ordered the FEBI DISA from the link in this videos bio (fixpartsonline) to the USA and if you have how long it did it take to arrive, is the part reliable, and is the shipping process smooth(customs charges?) please let me know! Because Im in a big need of this part but not looking to pay Bmw’s hefty 400USD/600USD price tag for this small plastic part. If somebody from the US has ordered this here please reply and let me know 🤞🏽
@@GeorgeAusters yea that it does, but the expedited shipping is way to exepensive.. making it less worth ordering I want to get it to save cost as much as possible but still receive a trusted/reliable paart the thing Im most concerned about too is if it will have any extra charges at the boarder ?? You went with the FEBI-DISA for your smaller disa right ? How is that holding up and how come not go with the FEBI-DISA for the outer(bigger Disa) aswell if you dont mine me asking ?
Tonight I removed both Disa valves using your videos (because I had 2 fault codes in my last week purchased 130i😭) and found out the outher largest disa valve is broken, the inner smaller one looked fine and has no slack, but you think I should replace that one anyway?
@@craigroberts3732 yeah you're right. For some reason bmw in all their wisdomnes decided to use n52 engine in 2008 125i, but same year 325i is n53 (no Disa valve) 🤦🏻♂️
hey bro i got a 2011 bmw 328i N51 motor i keep getting miss fire on cylinder 3 i already change 6 new coil and 6 new spark plug / clean both vanos solenoid / change air filter / clean the MAF / change oil and filter / replace valve cover gasket / and i still got a missfire sometime is random muilt missfire and car run rought plus rpm keep going up and down idk what should i do next?
Hi George, lots of wiggle room in the E61... if I pull this for inspection (I'm getting a 2AAB code) do I have to replace the seals (O-ring?) if it looks fine? Thanks in advance ☺
My 07 BMW e70 3.0si went into "Reduced power mode" but when I restart the car everything went away. I checked with the OBD and it said 2AA9 error code. It means my DISA is dead, right? Thank you
Did you solve the 2 lean bank errors ? I had a code like that. I finally got the oil leaks done. The serpentine belt pushed in the crankshaft seal. The code causes us to think it's an electrical issue, when it's an air leak. In my case, crankshaft air leak.
@@walletphonekeys the oil filter housing gasket leaking oil on to the serpentine belt causing it to break and rap around the crankshaft, pushing in the seal. First I thought the leak was coming from the oil pan gasket. Interestingly I found pieces of the serpentine belt in the pan before it clogged the oil pump. Maybe both were leaking oil, before the belt broke and trashed the crankshaft seal.
I had the 2AAB code and that was the big outher one, but it could possibly also be the other one. The large one is not very hard to remove, takes about 15/20 minutes.

Great stuff. Replaced the starter. While the car was apart I picked up a large DISA valve to install.
A disa valve that does not close fully or open fully will affect the power, torque and responsiveness of the engine in a big way.
That was cracking George; I was just checking mine and got stuck at the throttle body, so checked CZcams - as always. Your video was clear, and easy to follow - Thanks a million - I've subscribed ;-)
Glad to help man!
George, you made it look so easy mate, good job.
Haha wait til you see the other DISA valve replacement👍🏻

I have n52 and no disa where yours is located. Please help.
Hi George, very good tip about fix parts, didn't know them and checked their site now, they have interesting prices. 👍
Yep I only just came across them myself, very good prices👍🏻
All you had to do is loosen the band clamp on that last section of intake at the throttle body. I literally just did that
great tip, thanks! saves needing to worry about throttle body gasket

Hi mate,
The normal DISA valve opens and shuts, right?
The one you took out stays “open?”
Thanks for the link where to buy the disa valve. They are the cheapest that I have found in Europe. Even I who live abroad save almost £80 when importing this part myself.
Glad to hear my friend!
cheers George

Great info any chance of doing video of bmw engines fitted to avensis
How dirty was the throttle body ? I cleaned mine and the idle was so much better after cleaning.
No too bad, just had a smear of oil on👍🏻
Good job!
Thanks!
Awesome.
Yes yes
Do you want to see more videos like this?
@@GeorgeAusters Yes bro, I got the same engine 258hp 530i
Awesome man glad to have you here🙌🏼
it stuck man how it is good condition , if you split it for two pieces you will find it full of oil
Hi amazing tutorial do you need to take the Manifold off to do the small one thanks
Nope, I have the video on my channel👍🏻
When you put the big disa back in, the flap was shut. I thought the default position with engine off is for the big Disa flap to be open ?
Yes but you buy them closed
Thanks for the great tutorial! How/with what did you clean the throttle body?
Just needed a wipe as it's only oil
So the n52 without the 3 stage dont have a disa under the manifold?
Correct 👍🏻

What’s the ccv? That caused the leak
Do I have to pay for this advice ?
Of course my friend, BMW will charge around £500

@@carcosatone7465 yes, it was broken and while I was there I found oil in eccentric shaft sensor and intake manifold. It was caused by broken ccv.
Removing the intake manifold has never been necessary to replace the large DISA. The opposite for small DISA tho.
