New Z4 owner, EML light
Just bought my first Z4 (2004 3.0 SE) very happy, unfortunately, the EML warning light came on a couple of days ago. Took it for an oil and brake service and they ran it through diagnostics. They say throttle gator is split and the O2 breather valve is weak, all in all, 400£ to fix. Anyone else had this issue? Any thoughts on price or difficulty to fix?
Thanks
Jim

Thinking of getting the manifold boot pipe replaced my local garage and see if it helps (https://www.lllparts.co.uk/en/mpn/13547514867-bmw)

Hi, you can change the inlet gaiter yourself as it’s not difficult-it’s only about £30 from memory.Quime wrote: ↑Wed Sep 19, 2018 2:20 pm Just bought my first Z4 (2004 3.0 SE) very happy, unfortunately, the EML warning light came on a couple of days ago.

So maybe I get tooled up and try.Quime wrote: ↑Thu Sep 20, 2018 1:34 pmYes, that’s not a difficult jobSmartbear wrote: ↑Thu Sep 20, 2018 1:31 pm

£400! Strewth. Only tool you need is a flatblade screwdriver for the rubber air intake boot.
The 'O2 breather valve' is probably the EGR valve. Do a search on here for that and you will find lots of info. Also an easy fix (sometimes just need a clean).

Sorry for sounding stupid, but is that on the upper or lower intake boot? Is it best just replace both? Or try with the upper first as it is easier to replace?

It’s the top one that connects to airflow meter etc. Same as the one in your link.
