Able to Replace Boost Pressure Sensor Clip?

MBBM5 · 10-01-2020, 12:01 AM

I was a little over zealous with the pull up step to disconnect the boost pressure sensor and accidentally pulled the clip out and it dropped into the abyss of the engine. Any idea if you can get just the clip (white/clear part pictured bellow) or if you even need it?

Thanks!

You don't need it and you can't just buy the white locking clip by itself.

Thanks, Ben! Any idea of the part number? I couldn't figure it out from real oem.

I don't think BMW sells just the connector.
I'll see if I can find it.

Thanks for checking! My tech is trying to pull one off a harness they take out.

I know this is old but did you ever get this worked out?

I would probably use a small thin zip tie if I could not find a new or salvaged clip. I lost a very similar looking clip on another car — no issues.
