I bought my 316i coupe last week nd it came with a stupid small k&n cone on it, so today I took it off to fit a standard airbox nd noticed that something behind it wasn't attached to anything? I dnt knw what it is? Its attachd to the afm nd other things and has a blue pipe coming off the end... The bracket has snapped nd nw am worrying. It has bmw 1 180 886 ak9/1 on it if this helps? Cheers guys if anyone could tel me what it is?

If it is what I think it is then Im sure itll be fine put back in place,IMO its nothing major anyway,just collects excess fuel vapour and puts it back into the system instead of wasting it.it should have 2 hoses attached to the top of it.

      Rough idle problem

      Hello Dave, Just an update and I think you may be right. Went out and gave it a few revs when cold, nothing. Let it warm up and there was a loud “shoooo”. I’ve attached a photo of where the sound was coming from. Going to get it looked into but do you have any idea of what it could be? First BMW, always had vag cars so engine are a little different to what I’m used to

      Rough idle problem

      Hello Dave thanks for your reply, thanks for the reply and it does sound like that could be the problem. I was thinking injector but never pops an engine light up so wasn’t certain. Was serviced 6500 miles ago but was just oil and filters. Going to check later and see if I can see any visible cracks or splits. Got a friend who has a garage and will obd and smoke test it for me.

      E53 petrol fail safe again.

      Morning Stu Long time since I played with a straight six so the old memory might be wonky here so check realoem From memory it is linked to the Air Pump and Vacuum control system. Find the Airpump and follow the Vac lines to the rear of the engine you should find a valve with a plug on top (or end) first make sure all lines are good no splits or cracks check the valve is operating, dont forget there is a non return vale in the system close to the inlet manifold. Hope this helps Dave
