I have attached 2 pictures of a hose I am looking for. I cannot find it anywhere. All the hoses I find are solid, but mine has 4 plastic "T"'s in it. Not sure why mine is so different from all the others I've found, but I need the part. I had a mechanic working on the car and I think when he put the air box back in he accidentally put too much pressure on that line and broke 2 of the "T" pieces. If and none knows where to get this line, or part number anything please let me know. Thanks

 

Thats some sort of homemade boost tap or Pcv modification. Where do the tee fittings lead?

 

Nope, that is stock

 

It's the goofy cold weather fix intake then. We don't see them here since it's not super cold. See this thread .. Page 3 https://www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/stock-problems-issues/187432-picture-of-my-valves-before-seafoam-3.html#post3215062

 

Ok, I took out the airbox and took a picture of where the hose goes. Hope this helps

 

Yes that probably is the case. I live in WI and I had issues with the car in cold weather, so I know they put a different style intake in that "was made for cold weather"...

 

I just talked to 2 different MINI dealers and they can't even find the part...

 

The dealer wants me to replace the whole intake manifold, because that hose comes attached to it and they don't sell it separate.....

Time to make something myself I guess.

 

Yea, that's the cold climate version. 11614584240

No part number for that bonded hose itself. Most people don't know this exists.

thanks

 

So after lots of searching I did finally find a reducing T that worked. I even called the manufacturer of the stock one, and it would have taken them 4 months to get me some. The place that I did find them at required me to buy 25, so if anyone else ever has this problem I have some of these parts.......

 

Well, crap. I live in Wisconsin. I hope I have this. Car was originally from California. Pop the hood tomorrow. I'm having a bad 2 weeks...

 

If the car came from California I would guess you have the original intake manifold. We bought our car in November of 2011 I believe and it didn't take long for it to basically not work at all. It would go into that "safe mode" and not go over 25 mph. This redesigned manifold did help, but you can still tell the car doesn't really like cold weather.

 

I did eventually find the piece I needed. I had to buy 25 though. So if anyone else ever has this problem direct them to me and I can help them out.

 

Just an update we have this cold climate version that was NLA from MINI, so now we have a solution for people that break the hose or need this version.

Correct. Didn't know this existed. The price is reasonable too...
