I am with you with that! Overall, it riding great. I got it with a few minor things needing replacement -- paranoia at this point for me too.

Hi all,

I have had this same noise for about a month now, read this thread and just looked at the elbow intake tube and sure enough its cracked. I am going to order one now.

Is this something i have to order OEM or this is something i can pick up in my local auto shop? Can anyone provide a link for the part?

Also does the crack affect my gas milage? its been getting worst in the last week.

Thanks

anyone?

do 4.4 have that?

[x52006]

Nik is your whistling too?

[Nik]

Nope, was just wondering if 4.4s have elbow tube also.

[x52006]

not sure but i assume so.

Yes, I just had this problem fixed. You will need the elbow intake tube $13.00 and see this link:

This part you will probably need also as you bimmer is probably running rough. When the tube goes bad, it affects your GAS mileage -- to getting almost nothing to the gallon. This part will ease the idling -- will run much, much smoother.
