Selection Sensor 5-speed SMG

This sensor is located on top of the gearbox and responsible to monitor the shift process. Our sensors are brand-new OE aftermarket replacement parts.

The pressure accumulator is responsible to store the pressure of the hydraulic system for later access by the actuators. This piston type accumulator has two cells: one cell storing the hydraulic fluid and one cell containing a Nitrogen gas filling which creates the counterpressure. Both cells are separated by a moving piston. Typical symptoms of a faulty pressure accumulator are frequent and short pump cycles. If there is no more preload pressure left in the accumulator, the pump runs every few seconds, which ultimately leads to a consequential damage of the pump motor. Along with the pump motor, a faulty pressure accumulator is one of the most common causes of pressure build-up issues and is one of the few wear parts in the system that should be regularly checked and replaced if necessary.

We offer a brand-new replacement accumulator.

The selection solenoid valve (marked ‘OOV’) is responsible for moving the gear selector sideways to select gear pairs. If this two-way on/off valve fails, the car may be unable to engage one or more gears. Note: the product photo is for illustrative purposes only, the valve is supplied without the Magneti Marelli sticker.
