Valve Block 6-speed SMG

The clutch solenoid valve (marked with ‘QPV’) is responsible for actuating the clutch in the SMG system. A faulty valve can cause problems with clutch engagement, such as shuddering, delayed and harsh engagement, or even a complete failure of clutch actuation.

Set of clutch parts contains:

• Pressure plate
• Friction plate
• Release bearing

Only applicable for M54 engine. If you are unsure, please contact us before purchasing.
We sell only Sachs or LUK components, both are original supplier for BMW.

The pump motor drives the gear pump, which generates the pressure for the SMG transmission. Both parts together form the hydraulic pump. Without hydraulic pressure, the transmission cannot perform any action – neither change gears, nor operate the clutch. Therefore, the hydraulic pump is the most important component in the system.

In most cases, it is sufficient to replace only the electric motor, as this is a wearing part. The gear pump fails only very rarely. Another advantage is that when only the pump motor is changed, the hydraulic system does not need to be bled afterwards, unless it has been opened.

We sell an original, brand new Magneti Marelli spare part – the same part you would get from BMW.
