Air Pump / Smog Pump Hose Assistance 78 530i

Post by shebuilt »

Anyone have an old m30 530i original set up still installed to help me with hose routing?

The smog pump was frozen so the owner was on the way to replacement.

I have done so but from the valve? it has three hoses and #1 in real oem is what is not there and I don't know if i hangs freely or attaches to something below.

IIRC, and I'm not positive, it just hangs there, it's just a blow off for when they aren't feeding the afterburner.

Thanks Mike. I'll get that hose and put it on.

If anyone else finds other information, please let me know.
