I fix mine by. Starting car up. Actuator shaft turns in position you need it at. Unplug actuator and turn car off. Now you able to put clip in. I use flat head screw driver to push in place. Plug actuator back in. I did not have to take anything off to fix it.
I wonder if it matters which side the hook goes on. Other vids show it opposite of how you put it in. You were the only one who showed you might have to cycle the engine to get it to line up. So thanks for that!
If memory serves, when you put it in sport mode, the valve will open, and when you turn off the engine it stays open and doesn't close until you start the car again.
Just sport mode if I remember, someone specified cold start. You can try installing it the opposite way. Some said I installed it backwards compared to other vids but it still works the same.

That amazing! I'll try if I have to replace again.

When I found the rattling, the clip was gone so I didn't have a reference. I guess it works either way.
Worked great! Rattle no more! 😊
nice fix, exhaust sounds great 😍
🙌🏾🤩
I think you put it 180 degrees wrong way. The "hook" should be on the exhaust side.
Several weeks, no issues!
@@BoostedorNA Then it's the right way :)
I had to put my car in drive/reverse after i put it in sport mode. My actuator finally moved once i did that. Hope this helps
So when you say you put in sport mode did youbkeave the car on while you stuck it in?

Thanks bro
I’ve been trying for two days and I can’t get it in. Did you cycle through all the driving modes or just sport mode?
Just sport mode if I remember, someone specified cold start. You can try installing it the opposite way. Some said I installed it backwards compared to other vids but it still works the same.
@@BoostedorNA thanks and I’ll try again.
@@BoostedorNA thanks mate, I managed to do it with your help.
Do you know where you got the spring from? I have the same issue on the same side
ECS Tuning IIRC. Someone said I installed it backwards but it's still good 2.5 months later.
@@BoostedorNA Thanks for the tip, just ordered a spring. Mine was gone!
Thx, mine was gone too.
Mine has a tiny piece of the spring left. Will order the part. Thanks for the video!
Will this work the same for an e46?
No idea!
Mine is broken and it’s stuck
It's a pretty simple fix as shown in the vid, only prep was ordering the part and having the right tools.
