Valve Block 6-speed SMG

This set includes the two seals located at the bottom of the expansion tank:

• Hydraulic pump inlet
• Oil return

The selection solenoid valve (marked with “OOV”) is responsible to move the gear selector sideways to select the gear pairs. In the case of failure of this valve, the car will refuse to go into one or more gears.

This is an original and new Magneti Marelli spare part.

The pump relay is responsible to turn on / off the hydraulic pump of the SMG system. A broken relay causes the pump to fail priming. Without hydraulic pressure, the system cannot engage the clutch or change gears.

Pictures shown are for illustration purpose only. Fits only E46 models.

Our refurbished pressure accumulators are equipped with a filling valve and freshly filled with new nitrogen gas.

The accumulator is responsible to store the pressure of the SMG system for later access by the actuators. The piston type accumulator has two cells: one cell storing the hydraulic fluid and one cell containing a gas to create counterpressure. Both cells are separated by a moving piston. A broken accumulator causes the pump to prime permanently.

Important: You will need to pay a core charge (deposit) of 300,00€ which will be refunded when you return your used part. You can learn more here. This is a repair service (no purchase of a product). Our terms and conditions and the right of withdrawal for the order of services apply.
