WTB: Front Charcoal Canister & Associated Pipe
 

EDIT: Don't need the charcoal canister anymore (found one), just the pipe.

Looking for the short pipe that attaches to the top of the charcoal canister (not the long blue pipe). Part#13901740550. It appears this pipe was on cars up to 9/1997 build.

The pipe I need is missing in this photo. You can see the broken-off nipple (#2) where this pipe attached. I believe the other end of the pipe attaches to the bigger nipple, #3. If I remeber correctly it's a black, semi-rigid, ribbed plastic piece.

Have one I just took off for my s50 swap.

I just found a canister locally on Cragislist, but I still need the pipe. Do you have that?

EDIT:

I think I can retrofit the old style assembly to my newer car. This is interesting.... This pipe runs between the charcoal canister and the "fuel tank breather valve". The M42 and M44 cars (up to 1/1997) have the same charcoal canister. The M42 and M44 cars have different breather valves. The M42s used a simple piece of vacuum hose to make this run, whereas the early M44s used a hard plastic pipe up to 9/1997.

The difference? The piece of vacuum hose will run about 50 cents max. The hard pipe they switched to? $80 online at Tischer, so probably $100 min at your local dealer. Then in 9/1997 they switched back to some sort of hose again. How non-sensical is that. Go from a 50¢ hose to an $80 pipe for no reason.

That's ze Germans for ya, haha.
