Nice car,

I'd have to "have a word" with the "mechanic" (used loosly that word), who'd looked after the car for 7 years and not addressed the

cracked intake boot
cracked idle control valve hose
cracked valve cover to throttle body hose
misc wires unplugged and in a mess
overall pretty dirty
misc wiring in the battery tray
valve cover gasket leaking on to heat shields
sloppy shift linkage
fluctuating gas gauge
sticky passenger seat belt buckle
engine ground strap


Good work completed though.

You are totally right.
I don’t won’t take my car to him.
In fact, I do all my own work.

Thanks I appreciate it.

Thanks I have only seen that splitter twice before and both owners could not give me information on where to purchase it.

Thanks for the compliments

I swapped out the old rubber fuel lines.
I had to special order the charcoal canister to the metal fuel lines from the dealer and it has not arrived.

Old lines
non oem fuel line on the feed for the fuel rail

where they are mounted directly underneath the brake booster

remove the lines

old lines cut the new ones to the same length

70 dollars worth of fuel lines and one vacuum line from the dealer

all new bmw hose clamps. You don't want generic ones to chafe and tear your fuel lines

all wrapped up


I also wanted to replace the vacuum line from the fuel pressure regulator to the intake manifold.
It wasn't making a good seal and I hate the way it looks when it just hangs there.

cut the new one to length

new vacuum hose and it doesn't hang
