Hi, Is it possible to replace egr vacuum hose without removing inlet manifold?

Here's a video on how to repair the N62 Vacuum pump without using a silicone sealant:

Can somebody help me understand why a reinforced vacuum hose from the braking system has flattened itself out. I'm trying to diagnose an issue with hunting, I've taken most of the inlet pipework off from the near side of the engine bay and I can't find anything wrong. At this stage the only...

Hi all so I check my codes after I get the start stop error appear . I get the code brake vacuum sensor , signal 2FD3. Seems this is quite common . Is it a diy repair or shop job ? How do I go about it ? Cheers

Hello everybody, i need some advice about replacing the vacuum pump, I noticed a leak coming from the back of the engine, i have read about the o-ring failing in the vacuum pump so i bought new ones. This morning, i've remove the vacuum pump but the vacuum pump has got a little surprise for...

So Im looking to replace my turbo on e46 330cd (convertible) e46 2005 204bhp. Now I am getting conflicting information. Majority of places under the above information and registeration are saying its a garrett turbo with vacuum actuator. However, my current turbo is a garrett with electronic...

Be grateful if anyone could offer some insight into how the vacuum to the EGR should be maintained. I've had a niggling problem with a vibration at idle and 1500rpm for some time. Everything from the Dual mass to the crank balance to the engine mounts has been replaced. I decided to look at the...

Hi Everyone i was wondering if anyone could help please? I'm replacing the vacuum pipes on my 2003 e46 320d msport car the 150bhp face lift model, and now i dont no were the vaccum lines go as i made a very bad move in not taking any pictures of were they go, mine has 4 hose pipe but all im...

I believe this is the cause of the fumes getting into the air vents from under the bonnet. No oil leaks, residue or exhaust leaks. The smell is mainly on the near side of the engine bay, so after a further look around there I’ve found this. Anyone know what it does and what pipe can replace it...

Hi I have a E46, 330d, 2003, 184bhp, M57n with 169000 miles. I have an intermittent fault with my car. I can be driving and feel a small shudder, the engine will then lose power. If I change gear and cannot keep revs up the engine will stall. To restart I have to turn over for about 5 seconds...

So I feel a bit of a hypocritical mug posting this, after years of advising folk on here NOT to buy 4 pot BMWs.. :hihi My wifes 116i N13 (43k FSH) engine has developed a cyclic rattle/growl on a fast idle, the cyclic rattle/growl can be felt at the back of the cylinder head on the vacuum pump...

I'm pretty sure one is amiss - all the pipes are connected to the main block under the inlet manifold. Surely there is one knocking round, I think I've seen the OEM site one, but it's not comprehensive (doesn't show all the pipes). Thanks

Hi all, I need to replace the Brake Vacuum Sensor in my 2010 Series 1, engine type N43. Just wondered if anyone can point me to a diagram of the location of this part on the car and also a source for a replacement part including the BMW part number if possible. Thanking you all in...

Hello Can anyone here help settle an argument for me? Is the vacuum pump considered part of the engine, or part of the brake system. I say it should be considered an engine part, my mate says its part of the brakes. This could have legal consequences.... More specifically, BMW part 11667547024...

Hello guys, can you help me with finding the correct way to connect the vacuum pipes? Removed the intake to remove the swirl flaps and found out most hoses are cracked and came out, have no idea which one goes where. I found a schematic, but it shows a splitter(the part marked with 4,don't know...

Hi! My 2003 320d runs poorly. It seems like I don't get any boost. I don't hear any bad noises and there is no smoke. The car runs fine, it's just accelerates much slower than before. I suspect a boost leak or vacuum leak, but would like some input. In addition to the car having poor...

I'm going to replace my glow plugs and controller and would like easier and less stressful removal of the inlet manifold after doing the swirlflaps last year. The only bit I really struggled with was taking the inlet off with the two cables/pipes in the long rectangular holder in photo below...

After months of Googling for definative answers as to why my car was so sluggish ,no accelleration at around 1800-2500rpm , and just generally struggling to overtake; I`ve blocked off the vacuum pipe to the EGR. WOW, what a change! It`s absolutely flying now. I had removed and thoroughly...

Hi All, trying to remove my brake vacuum pump and it appears to be seized in position. Removed the 3 bolts covered in wd40 and it just won’t budge. Any tips or advice? Cheers
