Product Information

Carries air from MAF sensor to throttle housing

This rubber boot carries air from the MAF sensor to the throttle body housing. Rubber in the boot will commonly dry out over time and start to crack. Cracks within this boot can cause performance issues including rough idle and poor performance.

Engine Air Intake Hose

The engine air intake hose channels clean outside air through the air filter and into the intake manifold. Depending on whether your engine is naturally aspirated or turbocharged, these hoses are typically made from flexible plastic or rubber, which can degrade over time. Maintaining a clean and sealed air intake system is essential for proper combustion of the air/fuel mixture. A damaged or failing air intake hose can lead to reduced fuel efficiency, compromised engine performance, and improper fuel mixture, potentially causing damage to the engine.

Engine Air Intake Hose Failure Symptoms
  • Check engine light: The check engine light may come on and stay on, indicating a lean condition
  • Rough idle: The engine may run rough at idle and under load
  • Intake noises: Additional intake noises may be heard during acceleration as air rushes in between cracks on a broken intake hose
  • Poor fuel economy: If there is not enough air, the engine will demand more fuel to compensate, leading to poor fuel economy

About Rein

Founded in 2007, CRP Automotive introduced the Rein Automotive line of OE-quality replacement parts to the aftermarket. And in just two short years, Rein Automotive has become very popular among both warehouse distributors and professional repair technicians. Rein is the German word for “pure”, and has come to be synonymous with quality in the automotive aftermarket. A true dealer alternative.

The Rein brand includes a growing number of “better than OE” parts for selected applications. These parts address known weaknesses and premature failures of factory parts. Many of these replacement and service solutions have been developed with the help of our Innovation Council, a hand-picked group of experienced professional repair technicians and shop owners throughout North America.

All Rein Automotive OE-quality parts are backed by the CRP Automotive standard, and are backed with a ISO 9001:2015 quality management system certification. Each year, CRP Automotive ships thousands of Rein Automotive brand products. And with widespread NAFTA market distribution through strategically placed warehouses in Cranbury, New Jersey and Puebla, Mexico - OE-quality products like Rein Automotive are delivered to customers both faster and more cost-effectively than ever before.

In 2017 Rein partnered with FCP Euro in competing a W204 C300 AER car for the 2017 season. The partnership focused FCP Euro to dive deep into the Rein catalog offering, and hundreds of new products were added and integrated into our catalog. Hundreds of new packages were created not only using the full part pine up of Rein products, but also the entire family of CRP products like Pentosin.

Rein is also an innovative brand, winning numerous trade awards — including multiple new product innovation awards at the annual AAPEX trade show.

Softer Material Leads to Major Airflow Issue
Like others said, this boot material is softer than the original, and the quality is a lot lower. When comparing side to side, the mold is different also. When installed and correctly aligned, the hose that connects to the idle control valve will collapse, leaving almost no way for the air to flow.

DONT BUY THIS BRAND IN THIS PART
Not sure how this Rein part is deemed to be OEM by FCP Euro when it is far from it. Just a visual inspection and comparison between the BMW Original part and this one tells me Rein does not make these for BMW. The Rein part was different rubber, very poor finish quality with bits of rubber hanging off on the ends where the mold was not precise but the biggest issue was the idle control valve (ICV) portion of the boot collapses on it self when you install it and the inside of the boot is almost completely closed up with rubber where it flares off of the main pipe also choking off air from the ICV. Makes me question other parts deemed to be OE/OEM.

Good fit but defective from manufacture
Boot went on without a hitch and the material felt fine to the touch. Upon a smoke test I did immediately after install, however, there was a pin hole in one of the pleats of the boot after the vacuum F connector. Disappointing to find a defective part from FCP Euro. Hopefully they’ll make it right send me out a new one when I contact customer support, then I will revisit and up the rating.

This boot was an exact fit for my 2004 E83 (140K miles). Some reviews of this product (Rein) state that the rubber was of poor quality, flimsy, loose-fitting, etc. I did not find that to be the case at all. Good quality material, exact fit. Fixed my unmetered air problem immediately.

Hi, will this also fit the 2.5 litre engine?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
No, this is specific to the throttle body size on the M54B30 (3 liter) engine. For the 2.5i intake boot please see p/n 13543412291.
