Smac01 12 Report post Posted September 14, 2010 (edited) Just noticed the intake above the grill on my E36, in the middle of the photo, is disconnected from the large hose behind it. Sorry for the average photo, had to google images it. Can someone tell me what this hose is for? Is it a big deal its perished? Cheers guys Edited September 14, 2010 by brunch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pureboiracer 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2010 its just an air feed for the air filter box. may want to hook up the big hose again so it sucks nice fresh air instead of air thats just gone through your nice warm radiator. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
polley 916 Report post Posted September 14, 2010 (edited) Depends what one your talking about, there is one for the alternator there aswell. What you describe sounds like the air intake for the alternator to me. Its used for cooling the alternator, however it should be fine without it.
