Aux Air Valve

[Willem Tell]

Found this rebuild info on Pelican Parts:

D-Jet Aux Air Valve repair is easy - Pelican Parts Forums

I read on Brad Anders http://members.rennlist.com/pbanders/ http://members.rennlist.com/pbanders/aar.jpg web site that the Aux Air Valve was no longer

forums.pelicanparts.com

Dr. D-Jet (attached) thinks it's not rebuild-able, but sfdon seems to be able to manage it.

We don’t drill and we don’t use RTV
Drilled ones are discarded

This is a video I found when I was looking at options. To be clear, I didn't actually try this DIY as the bulb pinch method appears to have done the biz.
I don't know if the BMW AAV comes apart in the same way as this MB one.

I’ve been rebuilding these for several years. I sell for about 100.00 less than bmw classic.

@sfdon can you rebuild the thermal expander for the hot/cold flap in the carburated air cleaner? Looks like a similar gadget.

There is really no point in using this unless you live in a very cold climate and drive in the winter. Just make sure it is stuck in open to cold air position.

Not much market for those- we actually toss out carburated parts.
