91 BMW 318i M42/ Vacuum hoses "PLEASE HELP ME"

[Assassin1710]

I took apart this engine and I cant seem how to put back all the vacuum hoses. I need some serious help. Its the vacuum hoses from hell. The vehicle wont idle correctly.

I need a photo off how all the hoses go connected on the vehicle. Can someone please respond with a photo of them and how they are routed on the engine?

I found something on line but its very vague.

This would be a good opportunity to do the "mess under the intake delete" which will get rid of that rat's nest of vac/coolant hoses. check out this thread:

All those hoses are cracked or held together with some silicone, id get all new hoses. Im not sure what cleaning up the mess under the intake entails but id still buy all new hoses.

You can check through my threads I'm really not sure. But the diagram helps a LOT more than the pic I sent you. You'll be deleting a large percent of the existing hoses including the U-shaped one you posted.

Read through this thread, it goes into this in great detail:

And check out this chart from M42 Club. It describes what you're deleting and keeping:





Good luck!

my hoses had the exact colour silicone in similar spots. weird.. I guess people call the dealer for this U area and hang up the phone after they hear the price : /

Yep, "stealer" prices are not cheap for those hoses, and the alternative brands are total crap (at least for the tee pipes).
