smg hydraulic pump pricelist

Pentosin CHF 11S is a synthetic high performance hydraulic fluid for life-time application in modern vehicle aggregates. Pentosin CHF 11S is especially designed for hydraulics in the automotive industry with the highest technical requirements such as in: power steering, level control, shock absorber, hydro-pneumatic suspension, stability and traction control, hydraulics for convertible tops, central lock systems, etc.

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.

Renew your worn or burn"t out SMG pump with our remanufactured units! Our remanufactured pumps are disassembled, thoroughly cleaned and reassembled with all new components.

In most cases, the reason for this is the worn electric motor that drives the hydraulic pump in the hydraulic unit. In addition, the gap losses in the hydraulic system increase enormously at high temperatures .

The worn out original motor is exchanged for Burkhart Engineering"s "Plug & Play" replacement motor. The new motor is equipped with the required pins and seals and can be pinned directly into the original BMW wiring harness. This motor is OEM quality and help you to aviod the alternative of having to buy a new hydraulic unit worth thousands. The Burkhart Engineering SMG unlocking tool greatly simplifies the replacement of the electric motor of the SMG II hydraulic unit and allows pins can be pushed out to the rear without damaging the connector or pins.

Further to this, the hydraulic unit may no longer be able to keep up with the pressure build-up. Burkhart Engineering have developed their own high performance hydraulic oil which will keep the pressure built up and react as much as 25% faster than with normal Pentosin CHF 11s.

Do not operate the motor outside the hydraulic unit. Furthermore, the engine should not be dismantled again after it has been installed. The tight fit of the motor can damage it when it is removed.

The repair kit can only achieve the desired improvement in an otherwise fully functional unit. If, for example, the piston accumulator has a defect or no longer has the required preload pressure, this must also be replaced. The "salmon" SMG relay (BMW part number 12631742690) is also highly recommended to be replaced.

It doesn"t matter. 10 hours is a complete rip off. I can"t even imagine what on earth could possibly take 10 hours. I"ve had my SMG pump out at least 5 times and have relocated it to the drug bin. There is absolutely nothing that could warrant ten hours.

I get a lot of negative comments and questions about the SMG gearbox in my E46 M3, but mostly from people who know nothing about them. So I decided to settle a few rumours by explaining a little more about it and why I opted to buy it.

The most common question I get is: “How many times has it broken?” usually followed by: “…and isn’t it about £3500 ($4700) to repair it when it does break?” Truth be told, yes I did once get a fault but it was a sensor switch on the side of the gearbox. The car ran in limp mode and it cost me me £18.75 to fix. Other than that, my SMG gearbox has currently survived for over 13 years and 140,000 miles, and has outlived an engine. I have a few friends who also drive SMG M3s, and guess what, theirs aren’t broken either!

A few years ago I used to run a track day company, which offered advanced driver tuition to people who would bring their own cars to racetracks around the UK. The E46 M3 is a very common car of choice for track day drivers, and I was finding myself behind the wheel of at least two almost every week. I loved the manual, but the SMG felt so captivating with the paddles and fast shifting when on track. To me, it just felt more special than the manual, and that’s what prompted me to buy one.

A: First thing’s first, no, it absolutely, definitely is not automatic. The car does not automatically start moving forward when you take your foot off the brake pedal and the car does not shift up the gears for you if you forget to pull the up-shift paddle either. It really will just bounce off the rev limiter. SMG stands for Sequential Manual Gearbox. It’s actually the same manual gearbox that is found in the cars with a clutch pedal, but instead of having the clutch foot operated, it has the clutch electro-hydaulically operated via a pump and wired to computers. I want to say it’s similar to Lamborghini’s original E-Gear system, but I don’t know enough about Lamborghini’s system to say for sure (please chime in if you know). With the exception of a few software updates (and an extra gear), it’s also pretty much the same Sequential Manual Gearbox offered in the E60 M5 and E63 M6, but yet they don’t seem to get the same hate.

A: Independent testing actually suggests that in the most aggressive S6 setting, it shifts faster than even the fastest manual driver. However, real world comparisons tends to have SMG and manual cars neck and neck. So yeah, pretty much.

A: Because when the system does have issues it’s headache inducing and wallet draining. However, problems are always easier to understand when investigated and broken down (as opposed to pointing in the general direction of an SMG and simply saying “all that is one big mess”).

The transmission itself usually holds up fine; it’s the hydraulic pump, the solenoids, and the relays that fail (and if you really want to get technical, the pumps tend to hold up fine, it’s the motors within that fail). These items can get expensive.

A: That’s all opinion. Would you think the 458 Italia and 991 GT3 are also cars that aren’t involving? I drive both a manual car and an SMG car and I find the SMG car to be fun in very different way.
