this is a new one for me but maybe others have seen it.
the hoses shown in as 7 and 3 below and think one other I can’t see on real oem need changing.
why?
Visually look fine and not leaking but they collapse under vacuum. If the car stands for a a few day they regain their shape.
only discovered the issue because the car went in for a leaking coolant hose that’s situated under the intake manifold.
The mechanic then noticed the pipes collapsed.
hard to photograph them as they are under the manifold and real oem diagrams look close but not quite right.
So to make sure I order the right ones I think I’ll have them take them all off the car and go to the BMW dealer to make sure they order the correct parts.
wondering if anyone else has done the same and can share experience?
