    Thanks Hen Yes, I know that's not the correct cover. The PO had a new engine built by BMW in 1996 through a friend who owned a dealership, perhaps they put the cover on at that point. I still need to make another trip to the POs garage - I'm getting the original engine, another steering box, complete KFish setup, throttle body and "lots of other stuff". I'll take cover from the engine and put it on.

    I was thinking that little nipple is a useless spot for a vacuum gauge - am I correct?

    Thanks - it's 2760698 born on 1/18/72. That hose is there, I need to hit it with carb cleaner to see how good it is.

    I recently bought this car and was shocked this was available.

    That nipple has a tube attached to it that goes to a Vacuum gauge that the PO installed. I was hoping it shouldn't be there and that the tube should be attached someplace else, thus creating a leak that would be easily fixed.

    Yes, the original air cleaner is still there and those lines are attached - what's the nipple for on the top of the cleaner? I'm in the Norcross area.

    The Aluminum ones were installed during the engine install

    Thanks all - I do have the corrected version of the manual off of the Tii Registry site. I've got my can of brake cleaner ready for the mornings hunt. Unfortunately, the only local Atlanta guy I know who knows these systems is way to busy to work on the car, he wants to retire in 2 years and has 5 years of work waiting for him. He just did some work on my 356 engine for me and I waited a year for that. The PO had installed a bunch of gauges, only 2 of them are working now, Oil or Water Temp (he told me I could see what I wanted by changing the wiring under the car) and Volts. The is a Vacuum gauge but it is not showing a reading. The Vacuum line comes through the firewall and is attached to the small nipple on top of the air cleaner housing - is that the correct spot for that line? Tom

    Thanks Carl I have the detailed instructions that BMWNA put out on adjusting the System - I also don't have the special tools. Before I start any of that, I'm going on a vacuum leak hunt first.

    Hello all - I have recently bought a '72 2002Tii and I'm having some idle issues - the car runs great when not at idle, however, once warmed up, it will die at idle which makes me think there may be a vacuum leak. This is my first BMW and first front engine German car. Where should I start looking to solve this problem? I have great records with this car, the KFish was rebuilt 20,000 miles ago and the engine was new from BMW at the same time which makes me think I need not look in that direction. Thanks

    I've been using the search feature to try to diagnose an issue I have with my Tii, unfortunately many of them lead to dead ends like this one. What was the resolution here?

    I know a local ATL fellow who rents his Porsche 356 to a production company for use in the TV show Vampire Diaries. They have used it a lot and he says it's been a good experience.
