Does anyone know where this piece goes (with pics)

tryingtobebest · 11-16-2018, 05:19 PM

While performing some work on X5 35D i found this part underneath intake manifold, all the tabs are there (not broken) and it looks like it was there for years...
I quickly checked realoem but didn't really find it in oil filter housing, behind it is a yellow notepad (3x3 inches) so its fairly small piece

WHAT an eye!) Thanks "Dlci"!
Looking at my 335D intake pictures this cap INDEED goes over the bottom of the SWIRL FLAP Motor!

Thank you,
please close thread!

Had the same happen to me after I replaced my glow plug module. Found it laying on the floor after I was done. Was worried I'd have to go back in put it one but it's not needed.
