Bmw f700 air cleaner removal - 2013 BMW F 700 GS

My suggestion would be to remove the hose between the air intake and the throttle body, look in side it and see if there looks like carbon buildup inside. If so you may have to remove it and clean it with brake cleaner and a stiff brush. Don't learn the hard way like me, wear EYE PROTECTION!!! can't stress this enough.

Ok the p143 or 143e code is 02 censors ! Located on the exhaust pipe . And on BMW Is got to cost some $$$$.the p0491 Is the air intake control censer! Should be located somewhere next to the air cleaner. Hope this helps and good luck !!

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeff_24365d731679262d

it is under the hood, passenger side rear of bay.

remove air cleaner with clip,
remove filter
remove allen head bolts on plastic cover.
# all connectors i took off the top first.
then change the bottom 1 at a time..

install the ivm back in place with plastic clip in (push back in place)

and follow in reverse...

In the air filter box have metal clips you have to Un clipped and lift the upper part .

all VW cars have what they call negative pressure sumps,that means that the engine is sucking all the air out of the sump at tickover,(its cleaner for the planet ?)try removeing the dipstick,then undoing the cap.(a BMW will STALL if you do this.)

The fan/clutch assy has left hand thread. Loosen by turning clockwise.

Remove radiator top shroud & air cleaner assy. to gain access.
Remove engine cooling fan by holding the belt drive pulley with a suitable flat bar tool (that fits over the top of the drive pulley attachment bolts), then using a suitable flat spanner to unscrew the fan clutch assy (clockwise). When re-fitting, tighten clutch nut to 30 ftlb.
You may need to use a bit of ingenuity in making the flat bar holding tool, unless you are able to procure the BMW tool #11.5.030.
Good luck

If u don't have a check engine light try this procedure to fix it.
Here is the most common cause of surges and stalls and low idle rough idle, it is the idle speed control air-bypass valve and throttle valve (IAC for short), they get full of gunk over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls, low idle) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake.
