Excellent guide. Just did the replacement on my 325ci in the drive way with this video. Thanks!

[@kittymaster2960]

So glad I found this I was about to be charged 800 something for crank shaft seals and that wasn’t even the problem

My intake boot does not want to stay on no matter how tight I clamp the ring it slides off after the smallest tug , my old one that’s now ripped was way more flexible and about a centimeter shorter , any advice? It’s on a 2000 328i

[@fuckngreat8955]

Haha thanks for this video, i knew what to remove and how to do it,
but you really helped me with the way you removed the metal shielding below the vents on the hood and the plastic shielding on the right side, i didnt know that could be removed, so i dropped my ratchet on the plastic undertray 5 times trying to do it without looking 🤣

Is the intake boot from 1A Auto flexible? Especially the small pipe to the idle air control? I have one from a parts supplier that is not easy to bend. thanks!!

[@waynesanders1406]

That 1A advert in the middle about gave me a heart attack with the noise difference.

[@NoYouHandleIt.]

Well done!!
This was a helpful guide…
Cheers..!

Hey you forgot to take the inner hose connector and reuse It on the new hose. This will for sure give you a small vacuum eventually a engine code

[@london9365]

What inner hose connector do you mean

[@Dooovid1208]

So I used the T30 like you mentioned and got the top one out but doing the bottom one it ended up stripping. After further inspection mine is a T40. Don't know if it's like that for everyone but now mine is stripped and I can't get it out 😑

[@LevelUpGC]

Mine was T40 as well 325ci.

[@ravsinghrajput2105]

Mine is all *t40* , I had to go to harbor freight to get the drill set since I only had t30 and lower....

[@carlosgrajales44]

Can this cause codes p0171 and p0174 ?

[@ChristopherJWHan]

Yes. A crack in the intake boot can cause it.

[@socomsfinest1184]

Removed the battery cable for an air intake install 🤣🤣🤣
