Identifying the hose to replace for CDV delete

**tomatocookie** · 05-10-2023, 03:04 AM

How do I know what hose to replace for the CDV? Is this the correct one? https://flic.kr/p/2ozna2L . Bit of a newbie with wrenching my car but decided to do this myself instead of paying some guy over a hundred dollars to install such a small thing

IIRC just remove the CDV and reconnect the line, there's plenty of slack to do so...bleed clutch after. It appears that there's no CDV in that car in your picture...try doing some research, I don't think '95s had a CDV.

Was I correct in circling the right hose? I got the whole hose and cdv delete set here Stainless Steel Clutch Line & CDV Delete for BMW E36 325i/M3, Z3 (bimmerworld.com) so I have to replace the whole hose.

Did you read my post? Apparently '95s don't have a CDV...there doesn't appear to be a CDV in the picture you sent. Send your part back to Bimmerworld for a refund.

As Gene said; You do not have a CDV and it does not require a new line if you do.

My ‘95 never had a CDV. So, confirming what others have said.

If you are experiencing clutch release issues, it is a different problem, not related to any CDV inline.

My 95 M3 didn't have a CDV inline either. My 98 M3 of course did, before I swapped out everything clutch related.
