Etwenty1 45 Report post Posted July 16, 2014 Did the flange beak off the pump or part of the valve? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonic_attack 89 Report post Posted July 16, 2014 I'd call it the flange. There's around 3mm left on the pump itself to clamp onto. :-/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Etwenty1 45 Report post Posted July 16, 2014 Mine broke off same place, can't remember how I bypassed it but it wasn't hard just trace the hoses Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonic_attack 89 Report post Posted July 16, 2014 As far as I can tell I'm broke on #22. Pic looks a little odd though, doesn't have the short hose that connects #22 to #21 at the pump? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonic_attack 89 Report post Posted July 16, 2014 Well that was painless. Quick 'n dirty wheelnut blockoff treatment. A few laps of the hood (Grafton/Newmarket) shows no coolant loss, or heater for that matter... pffft. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonic_attack 89 Report post Posted July 16, 2014 lol. It IS a locker! I just hope it doesn't fall out. I just replaced all that coolant less than a month ago! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m325i 705 Report post Posted July 23, 2014 If I wanted to get my rear wheel repaired, does any one know what 'easy to find' wheel would fit so I can drive around for a day or 2?

handgrenade 189 Report post Posted July 24, 2014 hi guys, installed an intake couple days back and its running fine .. however when I was pulling out the factory airbox, the airbox had some random hose plugged into the bottom of the box. was a dry hose, diameter 15-20mm. I am assuming it is the crank case ventilation hose ..? is it okay to leave it open, or is it time to mount a catch can somewhere? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
euroriffic 603 Report post Posted July 24, 2014 That's for the emissions recirculating pump down by the ac compressor. I'm sure it'll be fine just hanging out. I'm guessing I pumps unburnt gases back into the intake Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yng_750 247 Report post Posted July 24, 2014 If its right at the bottom of the filter box it may be a drain incase of water ingestion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
louistan3 1 Report post Posted July 24, 2014 Would a broken viscous fan cause a loss of power on a 320i e30? It seems like ive got no torque at all even at low gears. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am assuming it is the crank case ventilation hose ..? is it okay to leave it open, or is it time to mount a catch can somewhere? it is indeed for the air pump. Technically should be filtered air, but as it pumps air from that pipe into the exhaust it shouldnt matter much (might shorten the life of the pump though). Its pipe 10 (diagram is from my own pre-evo, but should be similar) http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=BF92&mospid=47432&btnr=11_1335&hg=11&fg=50 Edited July 24, 2014 by KwS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KwS 2378 Report post Posted July 24, 2014 id either get one of those wee breather filters, or maybe some fine mesh and stick it over the opening. The pump only runs for a period of time on a cold start, otherwise it should be off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

louistan3 1 Report post Posted August 4, 2014 Anyone have a photo of a dizzy cap for an e30 m20b20 with the numbering per port so I can check if I have mine right?

KwS 2378 Report post Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) Some caps have the numbers moulded into them. Maybe hit it with brake cleaner and see if this one does? Otherwise this might help (i didnt add the arrow, so ignore it unless relevant), Edited August 4, 2014 by KwS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
