Thanks I hope to get to it by next weekend once I locate the replacement hose. I am afraid to ask what could happen if I want too long to replace the cracked hose? By the way do you know if the hose has a part #.

I've been search this problem forever...

Dealer pointed out it was a cracked on the intake tube which caused, I realliy didn't want to trust their findings. Thank God I didn't after reading the post and waste my money on a problem wont be fixed. Worst of all, revisit the dealer is a hassle~

again, thanks for the write up and help me to get the parts I need, and fixing this "super charged noise"

Hi mrbrigante,

could you varified if it is this part you got from Pelican Part?

Pelican Parts - Product Information: 11-61-7-544-805-M9

looks like it added a "M9" after the part # you listed previously.

thanks~

I just had the same parts replaced...mine was making a ticking sound instead of a squeak or whine => http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...t-ticking.html

The part I got is the same number that mrBrigante had posted (11617544805).

I did too search, but couldn't come up with anything. Problem is that there are various names associated with it (Intake Manifold Valve, DISA valve, Adjuster Unit, etc...).

Hi,

My elbow intake tube is cracked, just ordered a new one but how do i know if the intake manifold is bad?

Also does having a bad elbow intake tube affect your gas mileage? just noticed mine getting worst over the last week or so.

Thanks

Guys - does anyone know if this situation happens on the 4.4 engine. I have the same noise problem that is described for the 3.0. Sounds like birds chirping in the engine. But, when I press the gas, the chirping goes away. Release the gas pedal, chirping comes back.

Thanks to all who answer.
