was a dream to drive for a month, until water pump started leaking, waiting till weather gets better to change it -
thanks, had it a few months and now the water pump has started leaking :angry:
-
on the e46 it has a cover over the inlet manafold

-
ok just read in the manual for the e46 "the system is only actice during cold starts (up to 33c coolant tem) and only operates for 2 minutes" so should be ok
-
this engine is fitted to e46 as well and i just checked in the work shop book i have. i think it should be fitted to your model because if bmw had removed it they would not have left the bracket behind. on performance it should have no effect, but it is to make the cats heat up faster, so with it not fitted can it damage the cats?
-
i think the item that goes there is called secondary air pump or something like that , is function is to get the catalytic converters up to operating temperature faster on start up
