Hello M42ers,
I´ve had enough of too many cracked vacuum hoses and air leaks so i´ve
decided to do the "mess under the intake" on my euro m42.
I´m keeping the coolant tubing as is for now, because i just don´t feel like taking off the intake to get at it. The tube from the valve cover has been routed to the intake boot, and the ICV tube has also been routed to the intake boot.
So far so, good. The idle has gotten better and no more sucking sounds.
Now i´ve discovered that the intake boot has a tear. Looking at real oem they have two part numbers ;
04 Rubber boot
1
10/1991 13711721431 $14.64 ENDED
04 Rubber boot
1
10/1991 13711734385 $34.93
only in conjunction with
-- Blind plug
1
10/1991 13541739249 $2.95
It looks like the part i need 13711721431 is no longer offered. My original boot has two holes but i´m not sure how the new part 1371173485 differs from the original.
Is it the same item but with an added stopper to plug up the extra second hole?
Anyone run into this?
Thanks in advance
