Vacuum Hose Part Numbers
« on: December 02, 2011, 12:33:13 PM »
So I had to replace my thermostat today and I noticed that there are quite a few cracks in the ends of the large vacuum hoses on the top of the engine.

So I cannot find these parts on realoem so I could use some help. I also noticed oil in my throttle body which leads me to believe my PCV is bad. Can anyone help me with finding where to get these part numbers?

Thanks

LOL, we all have oil in our TBs...a catch can is the only good way to solve that.  The e30 has no PCV.  Later e36's have a CCV, it's a different animal entirely.

I put some silicone hose in my car, that helped a lot.  In a pinch you can use coolant hose for the head to intake.  I'll edit this post if I find the info.

Read this thread for the famous hose delete mod.  That'll get you some great ideas for modifying the intake system & installing a catch can:

Sweet thanks... I ordered the couple hoses from a local BMW dealer. I will have to look into doing this delete later.
