99 528iT US - built 10/98
Been looking hard for one for most of the day. Everyone used to point at the spaghetticoders website, which is no longer up. The bmw-planet website does not have color coding from what I've found. I have my volume 1 bentley, but that doesn't help without its twin, volume 2.
Replaced many things in the engine bay, mainly the intake manifold gaskets. Tore apart electrical cover-box, things weren't put back exactly the same, oops on me. Found 2 connectors: one for DISA and one for that piece that sits under intake manifold, right behind the power steering reservoir (hangs by rubber bushing). Normally it's pretty simple, but these cables are pretty much identical in length, and can connect to either plug.
Best way for me is to match the wiring colors with a diagram... or someone could chime in and say "it's these two colors" - cause that would be awesome too!
Thanks as always everyone.
