Looking for some parts

Post Sun May 17, 2020 9:22 pm

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for some parts, but being new to the UK I don't really know the good places to search for E30 parts.
The parts I am currently looking for are:

LJetronic idle control valve (BMW Part #13411709898 or 13411707395)
Fuse box
Wiring harness

Ideally I'd like to find a new idle control valve, but I'm open to used units. I'm guessing the fuse box and wiring harness will have to be used. In any case, I'd love to get an idea on prices and/or sources. Any help is more than welcome!

Cheers.

Have you tried cleaning the ICV?

Which shape ICV?

If it has one of those ICV's then it is not L-Jetronic.

What car is it exactly?

It's a 325 ETA. I think it is 84. I can ask my brother for more details if required (the car is back in Argentina, I'm trying to get some of the parts for him because they are hard to find an expensive AF back there).

That is not a car that has been seen much in the UK you might have a tough time getting specific bits for an eta

It does seem to have an L-shaped ICV like the Motronic 325 but the eta ICV part number is specific to the eta, not sure if a later Motronic one would work,

It is not the same as the ICV on the L-Jetronic 323i or 320i which looks like this

I have a fuse box but you’d need to re-wire it.

How much would you ask for it?

According to my brother, 318 should use the same valve.

BTW we haven't tried cleaning the valve because it's not even there [cringe face]. Straight up missing. I'll have to keep looking for one. Or eventually, buy one on the US.
