That is a vacuum line. It goes to that plate that fits on top of the 2 holes from your intake manifold(probably the piece that you just took off). The plate has a small black thing on top that also connects to the vacuum line near the top of your engine. __________________ http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...ignature-2.jpg

i thought that's where it went but i just wanted to make sure. thanks, gotta do the coolant flush now. i'll prolly start another thread about that in a bit. thanks | | | | | 08-16-2008, 09:55 PM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Calgary/Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Posts: 379 |
A coolant flush is pretty easy. Just unscrew the nub on the bottom of the radiator (drivers side). And the the other screw on the pasenger side in between the engine and exhaust manifold. When I changed my coolant I couldnt actually find the second screw but I wasn't doing a hole flush so i didn't care. __________________ http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...ignature-2.jpg

Your best bet is to purchase a Bentley manual. I'm taking apart my s52 at the moment and taking pictures as I go to note the location of items. I'm also numbering the wires and hoses to ensure they go back in the order they are removed and to their corresponding connections. __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | | | 08-17-2008, 12:40 AM | #10 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: el paso Posts: 125 | i have one

I just picked one up on ebay for 39 bucks shipped, I've seen them sell for around 25 bucks though. Just search "BMW 3 series service manual". __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | | | 08-17-2008, 02:44 PM | #12 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Globally Posts: 1,162 |

OP. In your original picture, that hose leads to the main intake boot. Plugs-in between the MAF and the throttle body. At least that's the case on my car without ASC. ASC cars have an extra throttle body, but I'd assume it's the same set-up.
The second hose looks like one that plugs in the side of the throttle body, right underneath the idle air control valve. | | | | | 08-19-2008, 03:10 AM | #14 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Globally Posts: 1,162 |
Just posted it due to google search turns it up. Bentley can contact the hoster to have it taken down. | | | | |
