Inlet pipes

[Pfw28]

Good morning all, does anyone have a solution for torn inlet pipes? The rubber one from the airbox to the inlet manifold on normally aspirated petrols. I now have 2 cars needing these, an E36 316 and a 525 multivalve, both torn at the manifold. Stealers only? :ty:

Apart from getting the original you could get silicone pipes like they use for turbo applications.

Thanks for the tips, I'll give it a try, but a VW part for a BMW? Who knows, I'll report back. :thumbs:

when i replaced mine the pipes were about R300 each from the stealers i needed two parts...

Ok, spoke to the stealers today, E34 525i = R360, E36 316 = R725. Just have to :biglol: and live with it! Can't find a way to cut in the oil breather joint securely with other pipes, so..:ty:

Goldwagen sells parts for Audi, BMW, Mercedes (to a lesser extent), Opel and VW.

Ok, it's official, the things are stealers only. None of the Durban spares guys have them, even the stealer in Pmb has to order in, so no choice. May thanks again for the input. :ty:

Hello..
If you are looking for the pipes then I must say that so many choices are available these days. You can choose best according to the requirements.

Have you ordered these ? I want to fit a silicone 90 degree bend , I think it is a 73mm on the throttle body and 80 mm on the MAF . There are standard size pipes and reduced sizes eg 76 to 80 , 63 to 76 etc .
Prices are about R200 in Jhb ,just need to cut a hole with a hole saw and fit a fitting for a vacuum ? pipe .

Haven't ordered yet, just patched then up with windscreen silicon, no problems so far. I have 2 problems with making up pipes, firstly, the 316 needs a compound bend, so lots of elbows, which leads to my 2nd problem, creating airtight joints that won't tear open when the engine moves on it's mountings. The same applies to the hole for the crank case breather connection. Still doing some research on the joints, so not a lost cause yet.:fencelook:
