        that's from a recall BMW did in the 1990s. it's a check valve for if the heater core fails, so you don't get hot water sprayed over your legs..

            the coolant hose gets cut in the middle. if you buy a new hose, you have to cut it yourself - so somebody could have replaced the hose, and used their teeth or something to make that cut. LOL

                      10 minutes... then we invade China.
                      We'll begin with the small town of General Tso's,
                      And move to the Orange chicken province.

                            That was the main reason why I didn't polish the manifold, a lot of time and work, so cleaned it up and painted it instead..they do look really good polished though:D

                                I'm changing the color on a sports tan interior. What do you guys think?
                                Top, bottom, right side

                                Top-Napa red but looks more like a burgundy

                                Bottom- firethorn red

                                Right side- portola red
