Lost Hose lol

Phiwee · 08-15-2020, 01:56 PM

Guys....
Super embarrassing but I was doing my spark plugs and I can't seem to find where this hose is... I've looked everywhere and don't know where it went and I'm sober too!

The little green arrow and I know the green line is where it runs along.
I've checked under the intake and charge pipe I don't see any loose connections or unplugged hoses at all!
What does the other end connect to?
Would be great if someone can take a picture.

See below

Phiwee · 08-15-2020, 02:29 PM

So it looks like it comes from underneath the intake manifold area?

Yes not near my car to confirm but think it runs between the gap between two of the intakes columns then connects underneath but just slips on and stays on with the force of the vacuum - point being there's no clip and you Might've just been able to give it a yank and pull it loose by accident

lol that's your line coming from the vacuum pump, up through the IM runners, then into the VC vacuum galley. It's #3 in this diagram from RealOEM

Lol man! Can someone take a picture of where the end goes?
I'm like "surfing"on top of my car feet in the air looking for it. I do not see anything!

eek! sorry bro. Im at work so can't go out to the car. No idea if you can see it without removing parts but I WOULD THINK if it's disconnected on the VC side, it may still be attached in the back of the vacuum pump (but this is just a slip joint.. and having been opened at the VC side, vacuum would release and it may have just slipped off). Try looking down UNDER the intake manifold, BEHIND the oil filter housing/ alternator area.

It's a long-ish tube so and being that it runs between the IM runners, the only place it would have gone once unplugged from the VC is down below the IM itself... unless it broke?

Lol okay I'll wait until you're off work!
Thankfully I have another car to use in mean time.
I will attempt to look again

Hopefully this helps some...a couple pics from last time I needed to remove my intake manifold, with white circles around where the end plugs in.

In the one with the IM on, you see circled it going down between the first two runners closest to the front of the bay. In the one with the IM off you see the circle above where I think it plugs in below the IM but it's a blocked view.

I think you can see where it connects if you shine a light between those first two runners and look toward the drivers side direction from where it goes in...good luck!

This thread made me realize that I've been missing that line for a while now.

Lol! I'm honestly thinking my car never came with it at this point because I looked under the runners by intake manifold and do not see anything I've been digging around and can't find anything!
Seriously contemplating if I should take out intake manifold.
How hard is it to take off and on?

Is your car pwg or ewg? If it's ewg then you don't have that line.

Omfg!! Are you serious? Yes I am EWG.

So there is just a hole exposed? You guys don't even know how crazy I've been going looking for this tube.
I seriously have been thinking about taking intake manifold apart to look for it.

Unspec · 08-16-2020, 02:04 AM

I'm EWG as well. I'm surprised the part number shows up in realoem if it's not used in the EWG version anymore.

Edit: Yea it looks like it just sits there uncovered. You can see in this video of a 2014 F15 (EWG as well) that doesn't have it either:

BimmerHausPerformance · 08-16-2020, 11:47 AM

I just realized I only have one turbo, I think I misplaced my second one... send pics! It says twin power!

Yea that tube is a vacuum line for the boost solenoid on pwg cars.

Good thing you didn't start taking the manifold off lol.

Someone lacks a sense of humor

BimmerHausPerformance · 08-16-2020, 08:06 PM

For sure it was a joke, I am the king of stuff like this. I still wish I woulda got on video when I accidentally cranked my engine when I was doing the OHFG, what a mess!!!! It was a black geyser. Took me hours to clean up.

I might have missed it but was this hole open or plugged?

BimmerHausPerformance · 08-16-2020, 08:17 PM

Oh, and I only knew to make that joke cause the twin power engine cover made me think it was twin turbo when I first started looking into these cars, so yea, take it lightly. You don't know what you don't know...
