Remove them from the firewall and plug them into eachother.
I think the hose in this diagram behind the engine is actually the 2nd one, but its put there so you can see it maybe?
edit: lol it's not an m20 that's why; but you should get the picture.

I did this quick fix for a friend after his heater core took a shit to hold him over before swapping a 24v.
DON'T use plastic tubing, it will melt.

90* fitting was because I didn't remember if the hose needed to be massaged; not needed probably.

Pop out windows help and not moving too much to keep the sweating down. It really isn't that bad once you have acclimated to the weather.88 325is Five SpeedLachssilber

Every time I see that diagram in the Bentley manual it makes me want to route those two lines to my throttle body but I think my thermostat housing is not original to my car as it doesn't have an extra opening for that extra line...Unless its plugged and I am retarded...Also a like scenario.
Either way once I redo the head gasket I will get a new thermostat and take a look then...

Originally posted by reelizmpro View PostMight want to double check that price Matt. If you can get them for around $600 still I will order one with you. All of the dealers I have checked want at least a $1000 now.Originally posted by reelizmpro View PostSo I was just informed that shipping that $550 dash would cost $215.74! There are other dealers that offer free shipping with orders over $100 although this is oversized, it could help lower the cost. Probably best to call around and see who can come up with the best overall price shipped.
