All 6 cyl missfire with multiple codes. Idle is rough and loosing the torque power.

I wish I could but the horizontal plastic fragment of the U shape part that holds the flap pin was completely broken. I was afraid it would get lost somewhere in the Air Intake while pulling it out. To my luck everything was removed. That is why I ended up replacing the entire unit

I would be reluctant to fix the existing DISA. I would replace it with an OEM or OE as I think is a good practice with anything that is involved in regulating the engine. The repair kit is said to be a longevity upgrade but the stock valve lasts a long time. If the upgrade kit means means the pin falling out risk is eliminated that could be worthwhile but my take is that it is primarily a less expensive route.

The repair kit does take the "pin falling out" syndrome away , and fixes a few other design flaws, which is why I'm a fan of it as long as you don't let your stock valve get to the stage where the housing is cracked or you lose the pin in the engine lol!

I agree, the stock valve should last a very long time, and I think the repair kit is a good value to be sure that it lasts as long or longer than intended.

Makes sense.
