RE: Cold start value on '88 325iX - does it exist?

["Will Hartje" <WHartje@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The part lists for the 88 325ix but not the 325i

If it is there, it is mounted on the opposite face (directly across) from
the inlet to the manifold. On that face there is a triangular part with
either the starter valve or just a vacuum hose connection back to fuel rail.
If the starter valve is there it is part number 13 64 1 273 278,. It also
has an O-ring 11 51 1 254 062 that you will need.

Hope this helps

Beamer in question: 1988 325iX

A while back I posted a question about fuel odors in the
passanger compartment.   It was suggested that my cold start
valve may be cuput so I looked into replacing it.  My local
BMW dealer has a part listed for my year but according to the
Bentley manual, the '88 325's don't have one.  They use a
different mechanism.

Does anyone know if this is true?  If not, where might I find this
little thing on my engine?  It's not where the Bentley manual says
its suppose to be for the pre-88 models.

Thanks
Dave.
