    Check your boot before the MAF.

    I ended up tracking my idling issues to two separate problems.

    1) The infamous, coolant-looking hose with internal spring to keep it from collapsing, looked like a vertical pancake when my car was at idle. Luckily upon further examination, my hose was not punctured. However, the spring itself had shifted towards one end of the hose. I ended up "stretching out" the spring within the hose then used zip ties at 1 inch intervals on the outside of the hose. Hopefully, this will prevent the spring from shifting. I also shaved the sharp ends of the spring down.

    2) The hose to the oil/cyclone separator (located at the very bottom of the TS) had it's hose slip off. The problem was that this hose is located fairly deep within the underbelly of the TS and the only way I could see it was after I put my car on a lift.


    JMC: Thanks for the link. The Magnum hose appears only available up to an ID of 3/4". I believe that that company doesn't make anything as large as an ID 1.5" which is currently on the Eurosport TS cars.

    Try superflex hose by samco sport. It will suit your 1.5" needs.

    Any updates on what hose people used in the ES TS? Mine is collapsing already.

    update: Thanks to WK446 (Dennis) for sharing his fix. Aside from the vac hose with the spring in it (which remains a potential problem, but I have a 1.5" samco hose on order to replace it), there was a second LARGE Vac leak I discovered, repaired for $9 and the idle hunting is gone. what's more, she is more responsive.

    The large hose leak was along the underside of the hose shown below (just downstream from MAF), where a stock BMW intake (#13 54 1 438 761) was modified to accept another hose, basically cutting out a segment of that hose and gluing in a rubber seal with with a second port on it, to which a another hose attaches. The adhesive had broken down and was creating a large gash through which air leaked in (after the MAF). Since its underneath, it's not visible until you remove the hose and inspect it. If you have fiddled around with the system, you may have torqued/lossened the seal, plus its immediately below the TS oil vent exhaust tube so the oils over time may degrade the glue.



    I cleaned up the glue and reattached with 3M superweather gasket sealant pn #8008 and voila, fixed. Took me less than 45 minutes total (except for glue setting overnight). If your donor hose is shot, you can also replace the BMW intake hose (13 54 1 438 761) too (WK446 did). pic below shows Dennis' old intake hose (you can see the tranplanted port was remnoved) next to his replacement new hose before he modified it to accept the transplant port (not shown).



    Anyway, Idle hunting is GONE, and as a bonus she pulls like a FIEND, definitely more responsive.
    THANKS TO DENNIS!
