Does anybody know the part number of this part. I searched the ETK, but could not find it. Also, is there supposed to be a clamp on the end on of it, it does it just slide onto the nipple underneath the throtle body?

Cool, I thought for a second that I was missing something. Anyways, it has some cracks on it and doesn't hold onto the nipple very tight. Do you know the part number, or what I can tell the part guy I need?Originally posted by JordanComment

If its just the rubber that's shot, just pull it off and use a regular length of fuel line or something similar. It's a cheaper route than buying a more expensive part that serves the exact same purpose.

It has to fit over the purge valve though. It's wide at one end and narrow at the other.
I would try a hose clamp first though. You can cut a small amount of the cracked rubber off of the end of the hose it's still long enough to reach. Air leaks here will cause rough running and idle problems.

Yes I know, but take the rubber off of the valve and you will see what I'm talking about. I really don't understand why BMW used that relatively elaborate rubber part when a regular hose will work exactly the same.Originally posted by arsevaderComment

Classic over engineering. There must be some reason for it though.Originally posted by ryan_george
