cliffdunedin 8 Report post Posted December 26, 2010 Sorry mate I havn't been online today. Hopefully you got it sorted, but if not i have a bunch of various hoses that could help! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tcbaurpower 5 Report post Posted December 26, 2010 I have tried with the e30 hose. No luck it needs to be larger. It really needs to be the exact shape. Cliff if you have spare hoses that would be great. Will head to the parts places in the morning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phatputer 3 Report post Posted December 26, 2010 Would have hunted through my hoses at home had I not been at the folks place. Best of luck finding the part. Not sure but European Auto Wreckers may be open today, Willie be able to sort you out Ask Mike, he will show you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antil33t 90 Report post Posted December 26, 2010 Yeah, if you don't read this, I'll give you a ring at 2pm when I finish work to see how you're getting on and if you need a lift somewhere. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cliffdunedin 8 Report post Posted December 26, 2010 (edited) After having a look at the diagramme from kiwi535 it looks like one end of the hose is smaller than the other, i won't have something exact but may have something that could be used as a temp solution. Alternatively you could give Paul at Milland which sell OEM parts and based in Dunedin a call: http://www.milland.co.nz/index.php paul@milland.co.nz 027 777 2827 Bimmersport name - vonripsnorter He's always cheaper than Cookies BMW!! Like Michael if you need a lift anywhere to get it sorted, flick me a text. 027 747 5545 Edited December 26, 2010 by cliffdunedin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tcbaurpower 5 Report post Posted December 27, 2010 We arrived in ChCh with no more issues however the rain turned into a down pour after Cromwell which made it an interesting drive. The car was awesome on the open road cant wait for the next road trip. This is the damaged hose can not see anything else was affected and the engine still went well. Here we are on top of the Roxburgh Dam before the down pour. Thanks again for the help. Travel safe over the break. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
