I tried to resurrect the original thread on this topic but it's not showing in the forum so maybe it's in the archives or something.
Anyway, the original thread was for a 93 325 and I have a 98 323is. I've removed the heater core and I was using that thread to determine how to reroute hoses but the cooling system configuration seems to be different.
In mine, there is a metal pipe (#5 red in the pic below). I have removed the hose #9 blue and used the M50 block off plate at the head. And I've removed the #8 green hose from the heater core at the firewall. But the other end if this hose connected to the steel pipe. Can I just use a short piece of this hose to block that off? I'm assuming I can then keep the small hose #13 orange that runs up to the throttle body.
Any help would be appreciated.
