Thanks 1998ccc.  I've searched realoem to no avail.  I found the image with a reference to this hose in the parts list, but the hose isn't in the picture.  Replacement hoses I purchased are below.  If anyone has an image in their archives that might help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Engine + Driveline / Help with location of ICV hose

I've had too much delay between disassembling my intake to fix all the split rubber hoses and re-installation of new parts.  While I took plenty of pics, this hose failed to make an appearance.  Can someone help me with the location?  1993 318is.

1998ccc - What is the zip tie repair?

~$45 for a new dealer cable.  Easy to swap out.

When I bought my car it had the zip tie repair.  It works if you are in a bind.  Try McMaster for a new bushing...they have just about everything.

I've found some billet aluminum replacements, but they cost just as much as the cable assembly.  Thanks for the help!

Does anyone have a MacGyver solution to my now broken accelerator cable grommet? I'm trying to avoid buying the entire assembly.
