THANK YOU!!!!! You're a life saver. I'm almost finished putting my E36 back together. I bought it with a cracked head. I hadn't touched it in a minute and couldn't remember where those lines went.

Video was perfectly detailed , Definitely gonna refer back to this when i redo my vac lines and toss my manifold back on soon 🙏🏼

You are the best. Before finding this, earlier in the day I shared your E36 door panel repair, letting him know it helped me to a fabulous repair. Thanks!

Watched this only a handful of times constantly every night, remembered everything during the process of putting back together. Thanks for going super indept about everything! I bypassed the vacuum canister!

This was the best KZfaq for detailed information on the vacuum hoses and intake assembly

Nice video. FYI for anyone who is confused about 32:20 because it doesn't match what they see. In my 1998 E36 328i there is no mount for that electric vacuum control valve (VCV) like he has. It just hangs under the intake manifold and that connector doesn't go it. There is another connector that comes up to it. That said, it annoyed me that that mount existed but my car didn't have it so I bought it and mounted my VCV on it. However, the connector didn't reach so I lengthened the wires so now I have the same mounting setup but the wires are coming from underneath, not from that plug off the fuel rail. One caveat on the VCV "hanging". Maybe there was some other type of mount for it, I don't know, I bought the car 2nd hand off CraigsList years ago and I learned that the kid that owned it "learned" mechanics on it so if there was some alternative mount, I'd like to know it but it will probably forever be a mystery I'll have to live with. I know it was a learning vehicle for him because of the many things I found "not as they should be" and put right over time. BTW, if it crossed anyone's mind that maybe the connection for my car should be like the video shows, I was concerned about exactly that, so I pulled out my scanner (a pretty good one, professional grade (too good for a guy using it on just one car)) and went to active tests and made sure that that the test for activating the VCV was clicking that valve as it was currently connected and it did. It kind of freaked me out that maybe I had this car for years and possibly two connectors were cross plugged so I "active tested" the **&^ out of it.

Thank you for your detailed explanation of where all those vacume lines go, no its not too detailed, your a lifesaver, cheers from Australia.

Thank you for the vacuum lines! Super helpful!

I've removed 3 different intake manifolds, and ive never checked the dipstick for being clogged. There is no such thing as too much detail! Thank you!

Good job man, I know a lot of people will appreciate this. You jinxed yourself though 36:07

Thank you for the great step by step instructions. Made the process easier to follow and helped me avoid problems with vacuum lines.

O man this was the video i've been searching for all day long, i unpulgged a few things and could not remember what went where, and then i ran into this video!!! GOOD LOOKING OUT, need more like it!

Great video, answered all my questions!! Excellent reference guide to reinstalling my intake. I especially liked the dip stick reinstall, made my project much easier, thank you 🙏

Good video. Level of detail was good showed a lot of fine but important points not shown elsewhere. Liked how you edited out the wrench turning, shortened the video and kept it relevant.

Thank you so much for this video!!! I removed my intake manifold and suddenly i had a hose sticking up from the vacuum storage unit and I couldn't find where it's supposed to go! Also, I discovered my vacuum storage can was just flopping around and not mounted correctly. Nothing on line could show me where it goes!!! You also showed me that I'm missing both brackets that hold up the manifold. So basically you solved like 5 issues that have been causing me stress for a few days!

Love your videos. Was a lifesaver with the starter motor replacement.

My new favorite channel. Lecturers should try this approach. Thank you sir God bless

Bailed me out again with a great video! Thanks again!

Thanks for your video

Thank u so much for this

Thanks for the Video…i have couple e36 to work on.This video is straight to the point and i learned a lot from it.i cant wait to see the car running again.are you keeping the car after fixing it?

Good video, very informational! It would be a helpful step to source these parts and add a description for a vacuum kit and orings in the description! I would like to replace all vacuum lines on mine while I’m in there. Thank you!

Hello, thanks for this detailed video😊. my fuel consumption on my M52 323i is a bit high, can the vacuum hoses be the reason behind it?

Excellent video! What if i cap the vacuum on the manifold for the exhaust? Ill be running an aftermarket one so wont need it. Will it cause a check engine light?

Awesome, awesome video. Thank you! Quick question because I can’t seem to find it; when doing all of this, especially with the dip stick and ccv valve, did you mention to drain all of the oil?

Great video do you know the size of the hoses?

thats a lot of work dude...! how much would you charge fo this kind of job..?? my friend purchased an X3 and cant pass smog, and cant idle, but with this vidreo SHE would know all the work it takes, this video is PERFECTLY explained, with so much patience and knowledge, you shoul be a tacher and pass it on, you are a life saver for many of us. THANK YOU SR..

I'm looking at a 1994 320i, won't idle down when started, i think i want to buy car just to fix it. About how many hours to fix all the cleaning and vac lines? Love your jack stands!

How did you get the intake ports so clean? Mine are coated with charcoal deposits.

I have a fuel regulator on my 1992 325i e36 fuel rail with 2 hose. Where does the bottom vacuum line goes.

You just answered all 5 of my questions and showed me where a vacuum hose I couldn't find cause I was throwing code p1423 . I just bought my 328i and the guy straight up lied to me. But I do have a very important question. How was driving one day and my car started overheating or the water coming out so I'm thinking oh crap now I got to replace the water pump. It wasn't a water pump. It was my AC motor and water was just going everywhere but after a few days just let it sit. I got back in and driving and it's never been overheating since. I just don't have no AC and there's nothing being blown out of my vent. What's the problem that I'm having?

Thank you! How do I remove a stud that was over tightened and broke off?

Dude, why don't you stick some cloth in each hole before you start sanding metal shavings that fall inside of those openings, that is really bad for your cylinders. It only takes a second.

Nice job. What city and state are you located at? You really seem like you do a great job and, U have all kinds of patience 👌👍

How do you keep that place warm? Did you blocked off the door completely? I haven’t touch a thing this year. Just to cold here in Canada.

My 96 328i had another metal piece connected with a cable running to it, i manual swapped mine aswell do i need to keep this or do i delete it

I got a e39 10/99 I'm trying to find something that shows a good vacuum replacement process

What have I gotten myself into

Witam kolego. Wrzuć filmik co tam u Ciebie na drugi kanał . W Europie coraz bardziej nieciekawie się robi. Jak ruscy na Ukrainę napadną to kto wie czy nie trzeba będzie myślećza kilka lat o emigracji jak najdalej ... Pozdro

What state are you located? I need some help
