What do they do?
Could somebody please tell me what are these two things and what they do? They are switches located below the kickpanel on the driver's side (right hand drive vehicle) the top one is a BMW switch, the bottom one is a Bosch.
I read somewhere that one is a chime generator.
Thank you. Orlando

#12 just looks like a short piece of hose to connect #11 to a nipple on the under side of the intake manifold in the engine bay, but it is also a restrictor, although the system will work without it.orlando wrote:Thanks Brucey for the reply and the part numbers. I am definitely missing the hoses 11 and 12 or they are hiding somewhere!!!
#11 is a small nylon tube that snakes its was through the firewall next to the wiring harness on the left side. The white tubes have turned yellow/brown with age:
On the in side, under the kick panel the nylon tube connects to a blue/black stripped hose that plugs into the Interior Temp. Sensor:
Thank you very much Chris, definitely a picture paints a thousand words!!! I know where to start tracing the missing tube now. I did find the white tube turned yellow in the engine bay.
Thinking back, I realised that I have been having odd reads in the temperature display in the OBC. Sometimes it tells me that the temp is -10 when it really is above 20 degrees and I remember it all started when my mechanic replaced the temperature sensor, surely, he unplugged that little blue/black stripped hose from the interior temp sensor and never put it back.
Thank you again to all who replied, you all have been very helpful.
Best regards, Orlando.

Another cable i need help with
Hi guys,
I located the cables I thought I didn't have with the pictures Chris posted, thanks again.
I have found another cable that is unplugged. it is next to the steering column , it has three black and yellow cables, two of them are the same thickness and one that is thicker than the other two, they all end to a black plug. Pictures of the cable are below.
Does anyone knows what this cable is for and where the black plug connects to?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BK/YL normally means it is one of the many wires that comes live when the start relay is energised.
Take a look at section 1240 of the ETM. If it is one of the 'start' wires then it should be common with pin 11 on the diagnostic connector. If it is connected properly it should look like +12V when cranking, but earthy the rest of the time (it is grounded by the hold-in and pull-in coils on the starter).
