Intake manifold upper part breather hose installation position
Breather hose marking must align with marking on intake manifold upper part -arrows-.
Warning!
Breather hose must not come into contact with other components and must be routed over the crankcase breather hose.

Resistance graph
The diagram is valid for coolant temperature sender (G62) and intake manifold temperature sender (G72).
The diagram is divided into two temperature ranges:
A -
From 0...50 °C
B -
From 50...105 °C
Examples:
30 °C is in range A and corresponds to a resistance of 1.5...2.0 kω
80 °C is in range B and corresponds to a resistance of 275...375 ω

Who makes these pages, and how
TorqFix was built by a mechanic — after a 2,700 km drive with five roadside repairs that no diagnostic tool could explain.
The figures on this page come from manufacturer workshop documentation and are shown as they are. The page is assembled automatically from that data — it is not written by an AI. The AI works in the chat, where it answers for your specific car. It writes nothing here.
Variants of the same model differ. Cross-check torque against the factory manual for your engine before final tightening.
