[NEW] Produced from April 2008 to December 2012

SITUATION

A rattling or clattering noise may be heard from the drivers or passenger foot well area while driving.

CAUSE

Tolerance excessive between the footwell air duct and the securing hooks

PROCEDURE

Confirm the location of the rattling by tapping on the footwell trim panel on both the left and right sides, and then proceed to the next step for the

affected trim panel(s).

1. For the drivers side, use Repair Instructions 51 45 184 to remove the pedal trim and/or Repair Instructions 51 45 195 for the passenger side

trim.

2. Place the trim panel on a clean work surface. Remove the plastic duct, and then apply felt strips to the inside of the 3 securing hooks, as shown

in yellow. Install the duct into the modified trim panel, and then install the trim into the vehicle. Quality check the effectiveness of the repair

by tapping lightly on the trim panel again. Repeat the same repair procedure for the opposite side, if needed.

INFORMATION

TEST MODULE OPERATING HINTS FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE NVLD SYSTEM

Evaporative system leakage is found using the NVLD tank leakage test plan:

[NEW] If a fault is identified when using the NVLD leakage test plan, the following points should be verified.

1. Check that the fuel cap is properly closed.

2. Testing the evaporative system requires all venting pipes and electrical connectors to be properly connected.

3. [NEW] Search for leakage using the VACUTEC(R) Smoke Machine 625-522B-BMW: always pressurize the system without smoke, and

monitor the flow meter and decay pressure gauge for system leakage. If leakage is present, briefly smoke the system to determine the location

of the leakage. Refer to the attachment when connecting the VACUTEC Smoke Machine 625-522B-BMW to the evaporative system.

Evaporative system leakage is NOT found using the NVLD tank leakage test plan:

Only perform the applicable test plans for the faults stored. Do not replace any parts unless a leakage is found using the smoke machine.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS WHEN USING THE VACUTEC SMOKE MACHINE

Testing evaporative systems for leaks is very challenging. We have developed some diagnostic hints and special tools to properly connect a

smoke machine to the NVLD fresh air vent/filter connection.

Attached is a detailed procedure for connecting the smoke machine to a vehicle using Natural Vacuum Leak diagnosis (NVLD).

Recently the VACUTEC(R) Smoke Machine 625-522B-BMW was added to the BMW Equipment Program. The VACUTEC(R) Smoke

Machine 625-522B-BMW is the only approved testing device for the fuel and evaporative systems. This device automatically converts air to

high purity nitrogen, using Pressure Swing Absorption (PSA) nitrogen technology. Orders for the VACUTEC(R) Smoke Machine,

625-522B-BMW, can be placed by calling the BMW Equipment program at 1-888-222-7997.

Included with the new VACUTEC(R) smoke machine are various caps and adaptors to help connect the applicator hose to the vehicle. It is

always suggested not to disturb the system before testing; try to create as little disturbance as possible to the system when connecting the

smoke machine. This smoke machine utilizes an UltraTraceUV(R) smoke solution. The smoke solution incorporates an ultraviolet dye, which

helps pinpoint the leak with an ultraviolet residue surrounding the leak area. Determining the source of the leak is made easy when the

included Hi-Density True UV LED light and incandescent white light are used.

When testing the vehicles evaporative system using the flow meter on the VACUTEC smoke machine, the ball indicator should not lift from

the zero measurement on the scale when the system is leak-free. All BMWs are designed to be 100% leak-free. A flow meter indicating zero

flow would be the same as placing your finger over or kinking the application hose of the VACUTEC smoke machine (no flow = 100%

leak-free).

INFORMATION

TEST MODULE OPERATING HINTS FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE NVLD SYSTEM

Evaporative system leakage is found using the NVLD tank leakage test plan:

[NEW] If a fault is identified when using the NVLD leakage test plan, the following points should be verified.

1. Check that the fuel cap is properly closed.

2. Testing the evaporative system requires all venting pipes and electrical connectors to be properly connected.

3. [NEW] Search for leakage using the VACUTEC(R) Smoke Machine 625-522B-BMW: always pressurize the system without smoke, and

monitor the flow meter and decay pressure gauge for system leakage. If leakage is present, briefly smoke the system to determine the location

of the leakage. Refer to the attachment when connecting the VACUTEC Smoke Machine 625-522B-BMW to the evaporative system.

Evaporative system leakage is NOT found using the NVLD tank leakage test plan:

Only perform the applicable test plans for the faults stored. Do not replace any parts unless a leakage is found using the smoke machine.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS WHEN USING THE VACUTEC SMOKE MACHINE

Testing evaporative systems for leaks is very challenging. We have developed some diagnostic hints and special tools to properly connect a

smoke machine to the NVLD fresh air vent/filter connection.

Attached is a detailed procedure for connecting the smoke machine to a vehicle using Natural Vacuum Leak diagnosis (NVLD).

Recently the VACUTEC(R) Smoke Machine 625-522B-BMW was added to the BMW Equipment Program. The VACUTEC(R) Smoke

Machine 625-522B-BMW is the only approved testing device for the fuel and evaporative systems. This device automatically converts air to

high purity nitrogen, using Pressure Swing Absorption (PSA) nitrogen technology. Orders for the VACUTEC(R) Smoke Machine,

625-522B-BMW, can be placed by calling the BMW Equipment program at 1-888-222-7997.

Included with the new VACUTEC(R) smoke machine are various caps and adaptors to help connect the applicator hose to the vehicle. It is

always suggested not to disturb the system before testing; try to create as little disturbance as possible to the system when connecting the

smoke machine. This smoke machine utilizes an UltraTraceUV(R) smoke solution. The smoke solution incorporates an ultraviolet dye, which

helps pinpoint the leak with an ultraviolet residue surrounding the leak area. Determining the source of the leak is made easy when the

included Hi-Density True UV LED light and incandescent white light are used.

When testing the vehicles evaporative system using the flow meter on the VACUTEC smoke machine, the ball indicator should not lift from

the zero measurement on the scale when the system is leak-free. All BMWs are designed to be 100% leak-free. A flow meter indicating zero

flow would be the same as placing your finger over or kinking the application hose of the VACUTEC smoke machine (no flow = 100%

leak-free).
