I had been noticing what sounded like a vacuum leak lately when driving the BMW. Also, the colder the weather has gotten, the worse the car has been idling in the morning. Sometimes it would even die after starting up. Eventually it lit up the ‘Service Engine Soon’ lite.
After a little inspection, it was found to have two fairly large tears in the intake ‘boot’ – the tubing that guides air from the air filter down to the throttle body.
This item is separated into two separate pieces, and I found both with a great website (RealOEM).
I will be ordering the parts soon, and replacement should be fairly easy.
Steve, I had no idea you were a roadster guy ! You have to check out my build site… Im building a 1965 Shelby Cobra ( Factory Five Replica ) http://www.DavesCobra.com I have been wanting to build one for YEARS. But never had enough time or money until now to pull it off !
As always thanks for the great web hosting as well.
Dave
The site looks good, I bet you can’t wait to get finished with the car.
