CANTONDZ 18307620323 Exhaust Control Valve Actuator Fixing Clip Compatible with BMW 1 2 3 4 5 series

Was tough to get in initially especially when following YouTube videos; however, what I did was take 2 of the three 10mm screws then added in the clip and screwed on another 10mm and started the car and when the car starts it will snap into place and then I went back and added the third screw back on.Notice: if there isn’t any pressure when applying the clip, then it needs to be widened so that it’s under constant tension when inside of the grooves of the actuator and module, preventing it from falling out.I also used longer 10mm screws from Home Depot, as the factory screws, I found to be personally too short when trying to work against the pressure of the clip.

Does not fit car

Noticed my old clip had gotten bumped out of its place. This was the source of the terrible exhaust rattle. Easy install with YouTube help

After much research on installation technique I removed only 2 of the 3 10mm bolts on the actuator in order to fit this new clip in position. I hand-tightened the bolts and when I turned on ignition the clip fell into place perfectly. I then torqued 10mm bolts snug and further wedged clip into grooves. It cycles as it should now. The whole job took me 15mins. This product is high-quality and if you figure out the tricky installation technique you’ll be very happy with the result. Hope this helps others considering purchase of this bmw exhaust actuator clip.

A friend of ours was told she needed an exhaust. Turns out it was just this clip. My husband found it on Amazon and fixed it.
