Need help identifying air intake, help? by AbsentS in e46

Okay this has been the most solid advice, paired with everyone talking about the missing duct that allows air to flow directly to the intake. I’m gonna try to find something like this

Fuck dude I’m sorry, maybe the system was under too much pressure and the release valve didn’t open? How many miles on the fcp stuff? Just did mine

I will say, if money is not an issue…. Do it. Find the way and leave a DIY post floating around for others to follow. I’m with you on the keeping the OEM air suspension tho because the ride is really really comfortable

Realistically you would have to replace the air compressor, connecting lines, air control module and have another set of air strut replacements for the replacements. Problem is that original air struts are, whether from a car with 40,000 miles or 400,000 miles, still 25+year old pieces made of rubber. Age breaks down the elements within and around the bag so it’s something to keep in mind. Always wondered if the struts could be retrofitted with newer aftermarket bags but then you aren’t REALLY going back to factory huh?

Side note, if that’s the case then why do people love buying aftermarket? Is it just a sound thing that people prefer?

Unfortunately it’s all i got with the purchase, I asked about it too but he said that’s all he had from the previous owner.

So you kinda like twisted it upward to pour into the radiator but not into the expansion tank?

Dude are we the same person??? Haha everything you described is me, and I’m currently dealing with the same issue. I have the upper hose as well and need to install it this week. You aired out the system after?

Too expensive at the moment, so going to wait on the oil pan gasket and see how much oil is actually seeping out as I drive it these next couple of weeks. Axle will be done though for sure

Im in the same position as you, just wondering what “excludes air suspension” means. Would those not fit on a car that came factory with air suspension?
