I had to remove my upper intake manifold to get to it...taking off the fuel rail, injectors, "squid" and lower in take manifold would make it easier but hardly worth the trouble... no questions really just wanted to tell you guys...adding out huge stock pile of documented experiences... | | | 12-23-2008, 01:56 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 | did the hose pop off of the plastic connector? might be a good idea to replace that while you've got the whole thing apart | | | 12-23-2008, 02:37 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: San Diego Posts: 231 | Do make sure you change those plastic things (the one on the back and the one on the side). They probably kill more BMW motors than anything else. | | | 12-23-2008, 03:52 AM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: North Bay, Northern California Posts: 251 | how exactly do i take the plastic part out...does it pop out...nuts...screws..?? | | | 12-23-2008, 04:03 AM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: North Bay, Northern California Posts: 251 | oh and after having so much trouble installing my starter...I can take my intake manifold (upper and lower) off blind folded...at least in the dark...because when I was doing the job I it was out side in 40 degree weather point is i just want to get my car running tonight...I've got some unfinished business in that area anyways... There a split case cylindrical plastic box that "leaks air". The top and bottom seem to be held on by rivets. It's throwing off my check engine light as well as gives the car a rough idle. point is i want to replace that and i guess i'll get the evil part while i'm at it... so in closing i've got two additional questions how do i get that evil plastic part off....and what's the name/purpose of the split case cylindrical box | | | 12-24-2008, 12:43 AM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Denver, Colorado Posts: 3,212 | i just had this happen to me. But one of my hoses tore while i was on my way to the dealer. In the end i paid $1000 to get everything replaced back there plus labor. I didn't want to but i really didn't know a lot about it so i gave in. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
