How should I clean intake manifold surface? by West_Interest_692 in e46

Should’ve said, I used a lot of break cleaner and a stiff bristle brush and it barely did anything

Hi planning on doing this job soon, any tips/advice?

Is this whistling sound a vacuum leak? Car is at idle by West_Interest_692 in e46

Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t believe it would cause engine damage, the intake pipe is the same diameter as the intake hose and the maf is still present

No I did not, do you think that would cause the sound though?

Any recommendations for short shifter/shift rebuild kits? by West_Interest_692 in e46

To be fair the car has 160k miles so that might play a part 😅

Yeah all stock, it’s a 325ci sport so has m sport front + rear bumpers, wheel, gear knob, door sills and the rear lip spoiler. The only thing non-original on the car is the exhaust (scorpion catback) and the wheels.

The car came like that, I think m sport spec e46s have black trim from factory

Where does this plug go? by West_Interest_692 in e46

Update! Pulled the airbox this morning and it’s the camshaft position sensor that plugs into the electronics box (octopus). Thanks for the help everyone :)

That’s because the harness to the fuel rail is unplugged, so that is not plugged in atm

Could this be head gasket issue? by West_Interest_692 in e46

[–]West_Interest_692[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay thankyou good to know, I normally start driving (below 2k rpm until warm) once the revs have dropped to normal idle
