Wow, great find.gisham said:
Yes, and the engine cover.HokieFratRover said:Ok, so my part came in...and I can't really see/reach it...do i need to take off the whole part that is holding up the pollen filter, etc????????
Yes, engine cover off, pollen filter off, get on a step stool and look behind the engine towards the top, you will see it. From there is a matter of popping off the BMW quick disconnect from the fender side, and unscrewing the hose fitting from the heater core. At this point fit the new one, screw it down, click the quick disconnect back together.nsxxtreme said:yea guys wondering where this part is located myself. I've looked in there and cant seem to locate it. Can anyone explain what they had to do to replace this part?
Thanks I'll take a look when I get home. Local shop wanted $150 to replace this how which sounds ridiculous to me no way it should take more then an hour.brad s1 said:Yes, engine cover off, pollen filter off, get on a step stool and look behind the engine towards the top, you will see it.

Might want to pull the res cap off then pull a little fluid out of the system before you start.
$150 is pretty high considering how quick a job it'll be for you. Once you get the engine cover off and the pollen filter out, it's no problem on a step ladder. Very easy access and you basically need 3 tools... I think the pollen filter is 2 13mm bolts, the hex for the engine cover, and a flat head to screw driver to clamp the hose down.nsxxtreme said:Thanks I'll take a look when I get home.
