I know someone has said that BMW have modified it from 10/13 production but I wonder what in fact they have actually done? Re-designed hose or just added the weight at production not sure how we could find this out, anybody got any ideas? I know BMW build the petrol sixes at Steyr in Austria and wonder how much 'stock' they have per-assembled for distribution to the respective global production facilities......just a thought? |

Unless www.realoem.com is wrong, the low pressure hose p/n changed for 10/2013 production. At least for NA builds. One would assume this was to address the SIB. Then again, we all know what happens when you assume...
Someone with a 10/2013+ build, take a pic of the hose and post here. Thx.

I've zip tied several bolts to my hose to quiet the buzzing. I'll get the official fix when I take it in for the first service. |

I've just made and fitted a smaller cast iron version, tested it and it is fine, going to make an aluminium one tomorrow. All it's doing is preventing a harmonic wave on the hose. Imagine a ribbon tied to a stick and when you wiggle it you create a wave pattern along the length of it, hang a small weight somewhere along it and you won't be able to do it.
I wonder if this will invalidate the warranty?? P Last edited by Phil66; 04-02-2014 at 11:17 AM.. |

Just seen your question to me re the 'fix' for the A/C hose on this thread...sorry for the delay in replying! If you trawl through this thread the BMW part numbers are on one of my previous posts in response to a member's question from somewhere in the Middle East. My dealer had no problem ordering the balance weight and clamp from BMW in Germany and only took a couple of days to come in to stock (they probably VOR'd it from Germany), if you need to contact them it is Stratstone Tyneside and their phone number is 0191 2951295. |

However, moving the existing weight along the hose helps reducing the noise, and according to BMW the best place to try is to move it 270mm forward. Hope this helps someone while waiting for the part to arrive... |

Worked
10.13 production with one weight installed at the end of the hose (as in Tomerk's picture). Tried to move 270mm up, but the weight is too big to fit the curving hose. So settled to move up wherever it fits.
Works great, no more buzzing ! Thanks for the info. |
