Hi,

Have you got the details of Ant (speedreligion.net) as the links on the forum to his company don't work - his he still trading?

I can't seem to be able to PM him either?

Any help is much appreciate

Cheers

They packed up the retail business a while back to concentrate on racing if I remember correctly.

If you were wanting them to get rid of the CDV it is a straight forward DIY, or take instructions to any garage and they could do it for you... Link or Link

Thats the reason.

Can you confirm if the cdv mod will eliminate the judder when pulling of in first gear please.

I have had the software 'upgrade' last september and whilst it did make a difference to the way the car drives it didn't fix the judder issue that it went into the dealer for.

Cheers
Shaun

We've had the CDV's on our website for a while. Install instructions linked on our page...

and does this mod get rid of the 'judder' when pulling that so many people on these forums experience?

[JaySTee]

Before I modified the CDV I would get clutch judder when pulling away before the car warmed up but it seemed ok when warm. Now I still get occasional juddering but not to the same extent as before and the clutch does feel better to use. I have never been in another E9x to experience anyone elses clutch judder/vibration so I am not sure what I get is the same as others describe, some people describe it as something more severe than what I think I had

Sorry to Neil@juiced but there is no need to buy one when you can do the same easily and for free on your own CDV, unless I am missing something...

Clutch judder is a different problem. Getting rid of your CDV eradicates that awful feeling of incremental clutch release, so when you have a CDV and you release teh clutch it sort of stutters.

[JaySTee]

I have heard that the clutch judder could be caused by the soft engine mounts used to keep diesel noise/vibration down in conjunction with an inline engine/gearbox letting the whole twist and release when pulling away... Can't remember now where I read it though... Or a knackered dual mass flywheel?

Just read on another thread that 'another' software update is due end of the month to resolve clutch judder issue???

[shorn007]

How can BMW solve what is essentially a mechanical issue with a software update??? anyone??

Yeah, that would have been me

I'm sceptical about software fixing things, but at least by going through the motions it's keeping it fresh in the dealers minds and suggests BMW HQ are still looking into things.

I've got the dealer to keep a reminder on their system (so I don't have to explain things all over again) and they asked me to call them end of April to arrange a re-program.

And who knows, maybe it'll work

Should reduce it if not stop it. If your clutch is badly worn or contaminated then dont expect the CDV to fix it.

Demand/supply thing. Customers wanted them so we supply them

As I understand the fix is more a mask of the problem like upping the revs.

I'm intruiged to see what this new s/ware update is, I've already had the upping-revs one which had no effect.
