BOV Kompact EM Series - Solenoid Instructions

Changing the Electronic Actuator

Remove your EM Series BOV

Remove the electronic plug from the EM Series BOV and loosen the hose clamps on the inlet and recirculation hoses. Remove the BOV from the vehicle.

Note! Cosmetic engine covers may be required to be removed prior to assembly being visible.


CAUTION! The turbocharger assembly may require the vehicle to be raised on a hoist or jacked up and securing using jack stands, ensure your safety is not compromised. 

Using a 11mm open end wrench in the flat sides of the solenoid, undo the actuator in an anti-clockwise direction when viewed from the end. Ensure the wrench is placed on the metallic portion of the flats and not on the plastic cover.


Ensure the cavity is free from debris using avoiding shifting dirt into the passages.

Install New electronic Actuator into your EM Series BOV 

Ensure the O-rings on your new actuator are correctly seated in the grooves before installation.




CAUTION! Failure to ensure O-rings are seated correctly may lead to cutting of an O-Ring and unexpected results from the EM series BOV

Slowly insert the new actuator while turning in a clockwise direction to avoid tearing the O-rings.




Tighten the new solenoid into the EM series BOV ensuring the wrench is on the metallic portion of the solenoid.

 NOTE! Tightening the solenoid on the plastic cover may result in unrepairable damage to the solenoid.
