I had that problem with a new hose I put on. Fixed it by putting these small plastic rings inside the bendy portions of the hose, they hold the hose in the intended shape.steve 87 535is wrote:Just a note on the hose I'm talking about. When I was doing the head gasket on my 88 735i, I figured I would replace the original hardened hose with a nice new plyable one. I did so but the new hose (aftermarket) was too soft and would collapse on itself with the vac from the motor. This ended up creating a tiny pinhole leak in the hose and gave me fits for a 4,000 mile trip. I didn't find the problem until I got home. I swapped back the old hose and it has been fine since.
when it would get vacuumed flat at idle, it would make a really annoying and quite audible whistle.
