Torn rubber gaiter to throttle body - United Bimmer Community

**Chevell** · 08-19-2006, 02:08 PM

I just noticed the rubber boot going to my throttle body is torn, letting in unfiltered air. I have a stock intake. I need to find an intake that replaces that boot along with the the factory intake muffler, etc. Does anyone know of a kit that does this? Thanks in advance!

When I had to replace mine, the shop I usually go to just ordered it

Just duck tape it for the time be-ing if your worried about it.
That can cause a check engine light if it becomes a large enough tear. Its called an "un-metered" leak, since its after the air flow meter.

its a $36 part. Most part houses can get them.
Replace it. I am ordering mine.

while you're at it you might consider replacing your sig - "1996 BWM?"

Hahaha, whoops.

But yeah you can replace it for pretty cheap or just get a silicon boot that is the same width and curve.
