BMW Hose Elbow - Genuine BMW 11617831460

Product Information

A Vacuum Hose is a flexible rubber or plastic tube in a vehicle that carries vacuum (negative air pressure) from the intake manifold or vacuum pump to various engine components. Many automotive systems rely on engine vacuum for proper operation, including the brake booster, emissions controls, fuel pressure regulator, and HVAC controls.

• Rough idle or stalling – unmetered air entering the engine disrupts the fuel-air mixture.
• Hissing noise under the hood – sound of air leaking from a broken or loose hose.
• Poor acceleration / loss of power – incorrect air-fuel ratio affects combustion.
• Check Engine Light (CEL) – often triggered by lean condition codes (P0171, P0174).

About Genuine BMW

The original parts used by BMW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine BMW” brand. When ordering a Genuine BMW part you are guaranteed to get the same part that you would pick up from your local dealerships part department. Genuine BMW parts have been built to BMW’s stringent standards and are the same quality of the original parts used to build your Ultimate Driving Machine.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your BMW are not necessarily manufactured by BMW. No cause for concern, as BMW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for BMW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine BMW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a BMW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
