Especially the lower one.
There are I believe also some rubber caps that cap off some extra inlets for vacuum hoses at the back of the manifold that tend to disintergrate.
This indeed looks like a vacuum leak somewhere.

Thanks for the replies, I've just got ahold of a new CCV set which I will replace tomorrow (11617533400, 11617533398, 11617533399, 11157532629, 11617504536).
Also the rubber boot (13541438761) and the tube elbow (13541438759).

I replaced the sparkplugs and I'll post some pictures later, I think the coils looked fine, but maybe a defective coil isnt visable to the naked eye?

(I tried starting the engine after replacing the sparkplugs but It was to no avail but I guess they needed replacing anyway since I don't know the last time they we're replaced)

Oh yeah, Thanks for this tip, I'll get some fuel additive to, it wont harm.

I'm also going to clean the MAF since I'm removing the boots anyway.

I cleaned the codes with a simple ELM327 and phone app, maybe I'll have to plug in my BMW 1.4 scanner and my laptop..


Anything else I missed so far?
