What Is This Fitting?

[Simon Tibbett]

Anyone know if there’s an OEM part number for this or if I just need to go find a fitting that fits. It’s a 98 528 on the small intake boot:

*EDIT: I have Googled the area for vacuum lines and stuff. It looks like the common appearance is some L fitting with two nipples. I THINK what fell off was just a size fitting to allow that hose to fit the intake tube. So...

#13, I believe.
PM me if NLA, there is no doubt one of these here somewhere.

Thanks! Looks like a few places say they carry it but in the past I’ve seen they have it then they call and say oops. Lol But at least now I know what it is!

I’ll PM you if needed I’m going to try and see if I can find the right size at a local parts or hardware store first. It fell into the abyss when working on the car the last few days and I cannot for the life of me find where it went.

It'll turn up as soon as you buy a new one.

I found a fitting that works for now as I try to hunt down my other issue. Since we’re on the topic of intake though, there’s a very big sensor that’s not plugged in below that vacuum line. What is it? I am assuming it has never been plugged in since I bought the car. It’s sort of visible in my photo (it’s white)

If you have a manual tranny and want to get rid of that stationary high idle after a rev up, you can insert a short piece of tubing (~1" long) into that line to neck-down the air flow to the Idle Control Valve. I did this and it made a huge difference when shifting and not having to wait for the idle to come down. Before this I felt like I was forced to power-shift on every clutch init.
