Question for 1989 325i or is owners

[M3fiftyseven]

Does your idle control valve look like this:

A


Or this:

B

[Kondour]

It's B

[robert325is]

mines B :roll:

[Erick]

Mine's neither.

[Jand3rson]

Mine's neither.

Yours is the same unit, it's just the T-shaped one, and not the L-shaped one.

[M3fiftyseven]

The reason I'm asking is Pelican shows A as the pic for the '89 325i....but on my car (and it sounds like your cars) obviously it's B. I guess they just screwed up their photos.

[robert325is]

well... it looks like youre gonna have to bend em over and show em where the wild goose goes to get some stuff straightened out :twisted:

[Brew]

B

I ran into a similar problem when I ordered a intake boot for my car.

[James Crivellone]

A is from an ETA/M10 based car

[Jand3rson]

A is from an ETA/M10 based car

Are you sure? It looks to be a newer model unit.

[chesster6969]

Mines neither.
My idle control is a T shape one and its an 89 325i with a build date of 11/88.

It all depends on your build date. Find it on your drivers side door stickers

[Jon325i]

Mine would be exhibit "B".

Are you sure? It looks to be a newer model unit.

Its a 2 pin connector, which only ETA/M10's and perhaps 323i/320i's used

and the fact that its mounted on an M10 Motor

[M3fiftyseven]

B is definitely the correct one. Their pics are f'd.

Although it's more like this one:

[Brian 89 325i]

MIne is like B. Ive got the L shaped one because my build date is 10/88 unlike chesster6969's who has the T shaped one because of the later build date.
