yng_750 247 Report post Posted December 29, 2012 looking to see if anyone sells the little vent nipple that plugs into the passenger side of the radiator and connects to the expansion tank hose. mine has crumbled. Radiator appears to be new but the nipple is old as hell. part number on pelican parts is 17-11-0-419-132-M6 BMW part number is 17110419132 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yng_750 247 Report post Posted December 30, 2012 yea will talk to dealer tomorow and get them to ship me one. it appears the radiator has been replaced and they reused that tiny piece. hard to tell when the old one has crumbled but im not sure if the tabs on the radiator are broken. they are both square and even height but dont have any notches on them to hold the nipple in. there is apparently a good plastic welder here in taupo so if its not held in securly enough i will get it welded in. will have to walk for next few days Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eagle 1531 Report post Posted February 8, 2014 I remember going thru this sh*t, couldn't source one from any BMW supplier to boot. Eventually through some research i discovered Mercedes actually use the same Behr(i think) radiators which have the same part, so ended up getting one for around $20 from local Mercedes dealer in Hamilton. +1 Mercedes and f**k you to BMW saying i had to buy a new radiator to get one. Can't recall the part number but im sure you can find it. Hope this helps. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

740i_Lou 5 Report post Posted February 10, 2014 Managed to get one from Inghams today. They had a couple in stock. He knew exactly the part I meant when I said I had a BMW. For anyone who needs one of these and isnt in Hamilton, here's a couple of different part numbers Breather screw/valve Merc -A0005000894 Behr -8MY376743321 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
