In this video tutorial, we can see how to replace the valve on the BMW 5 Series by following a few simple steps: lift the hood and secure it with the appropriate prop rod. The valve is located on the left side of the engine compartment. To remove this valve, disconnect the electrical connector by simply pressing on the clip.

Remove the two screws with a Torx wrench size 40. Now all that's left is to pull the valve out of its seat. Once the old valve is removed, replace it with the new one and reassemble the parts in reverse order.
