Oil filter housing gasket

[Karysten]

I am changing the oil filter housing gaskets on my n55 135i and I ran to a bit of an issue, the part of the oil cooler that you dont remove, there is a hose with a mickey mouse connector on it that connects to the oil cooler, I have pictures to show. The mickey mouse connector broke a little bit and I cant find it anywhere, if anyone can help me out that would be greatly appreciated!!! Pm me or email me at santos.karysten@gmail.com

There is an aluminium replacement available on ebay but you need to saw off the thick metal clamp or crush the remaining plastic and get a replacement clamp

I am not quite sure if the aluminium fitting fits n55? Most of the sellers say it doesn't fit.

I did this on my n54 135i recently:

If you're looking at OEM, it's the entire hose - you can't get the connector separately.

The one you linked says it will fit N55

Also, a side note: I've fitted the Rein brand version of this hose twice and the oring they use is about half as thick as the one on the genuine one. One leaked, the second one didn't.

there are tons of sealers out there, find a good permetex brand and seal it. I doesn't look that damaged.
