Just discovered this forum. I own a 1995 318ti Club Sport (black), with 115K miles. No modifications. I bought the car in 1996 with 8k miles. Still love to drive it. Bringing it for service this week because it suddenly won't hold a fast idle on cold startup. |  |  | | 03-05-2008, 02:31 PM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: SW Florida Posts: 4,275 |

those rubber boots can hide cracks really well with the pleats so it could be as simple as a close inspection and a new one. definitely do that before you go to mess with the idle control valve. looks like it's a bitch to get out | | | | | 03-05-2008, 03:28 PM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: SW Florida Posts: 4,275 |
the boot will run ya about $24.00 and takes about 10 minutes to install. __________________
