To anyone considering this mod, JUST DO IT !! OH and make sure you pinch the line  |
Glad you got this sorted.
Did my CDV last weekend and used a hose clamp. Only had problems getting the bleed valve open - after that it just took 2 slow presses of the clutch pedal and I was done.
Good improvement in 1-2 gear shifts.
Just a quick question: Can you advise where to top up the hydrolic fluid on the 135i. I can only see what looks like the power steering fluid reservoir under the hood. Is everything run from here?
