Andre1150 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Pulled the transmission, after lifting up the tail on my 2004 1150RT, and I'm getting it ask back together when this rolls out onto the floor. What in the darn heck did I miss? Scoured the bmw fiche, I've been in this machine more often than I can count, and I'm stumped. Dare I say.. help? It's rubber, didn't fit the timing window, has a little nub on it that attaches somewhere, was dry so not exposed to oil, or gas, and didn't seem like it was from the airbox drain. Sigh.

Lowndes Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Could it be a cover for a telever pivot bearing on top of the engine?? Link to comment

Morning Andre1150 We need that plug/cap next to a scale of some sort so we can judge size. At first glance it looks something like a helmet communication plug cap but those usually have a longer tail on them. Without knowing size it is difficult but that little tit on the side of plugs usually points to it plugging into a bolt or screw hole next to a plugged large hole. (possibly a pre-assembly final drive speed sensor hole plug) that is removed at vehicle assembly. A number of things come to the assembly line with caps or plugs (to keep dirt, junk, & even mice out) so more than likely that cap is a leftover from removal during assembly line install.

AndyS Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Any markings on the other side of that cap? Link to comment
lkraus Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 If the plug fits into about a 3/4" hole, I think it could be a cover for a cigarette lighter socket. The "nub" could be the remains of a broken off retaining strap. Link to comment
Rawed Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Kinda looks like the cover for the diagnostic harness under the back seat near the rear cowl. Mine fell out when I pulled my tool roll out from the cowl over the tail light. Link to comment

AndyS Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Yes true. Wherever it is from, I'm sure Andre1150 will be able to get by without it! Link to comment
Andre1150 Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 ahah!! Yes. that's the plug cap. I think it fell off when I raised the tail. Thank you everyone for chasing this down. Link to comment
