Can someone fill me in on what this threaded hole in the eta valve cover is used for? I can't seem to find anything about it and I'm wondering if leaving it unplugged is causing a vacuum leak. Thanks!

I have no doubt it shouldnt be left open - vacuum leak, oil splatter. No good can come from this :-)
Is it an 85 or 86? Maybe for mounting bracket for reference point sensor and speed sensor? This is mentioned on page 4-12 in Bentley manualLast edited by BMW_325i; 06-24-2011, 10:23 PM.sigpic

its not a hole. it has a bottom. no oil or vacuum leaks will come from leaving it open-AlexComment

Its an 84-85 eta thing. They have the flywheel reference sensor connectors mounted to the VC.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.Comment
