a replacement for the C191 "bitch plug"?

[boy412]

nice

FWIW, I have a bitch trifecta going on. Corroded c191, leaky head gasket, vacuum leaking bitch tube. If I didn't love my e30 so much I'd hate it more than cancer.

Well...at least you have an Allroad 2.7T. 8)

Awesome car, but don't get me started on that engineering nightmare. My wife loves it, that's why we still own it.

Who is Jim? The only Jim I know of in the BMW community is Mr. C. ;)

Jim Levie

You might know him as jlevie.

He knows more about E30s than I do about 2002's

I love those engines...and would really love to cram one into my Avant.

I just replaced the C191 connector with a 6-pin Deutsch connector.

Nice work! How big of a PITA was it to replace? I used one of those connectors to splice in a replacement coil pack harness on my Audi. The hardest part was crimping on the pins...since I had such little room to work in.

Anyway DinoSZ...that looks great installed.

Thanks! I was able to remove the fuel injector side and replace the connector with no problems at all. The harness side I had to do while hunched over in the engine bay. I removed the airbox, intake elbow and associated wiring and moved them out of the way. I had just enough room for the wire strippers and crimper. Overall, it wasn't TOO bad.

smart man.

I used a weatherpack a few weeks ago to replace mine, didn't remove the injector side and it was a major PITA crimping down there with no space.
