    Does anyone know of a source for the dryer shown in the drawing attached below?
    It is in my '84 400i equiped with dual air. McCann, Euro Spares and Rutland do not have it.

    I talked with Dennis today and described the dryer in my car.
    His, and everyone else's, has three ports. Mine has 4 ports, all in the block housing the sight glass.
    He has seen them but does not know where to get them.
    He put me onto a guy in Ft. Lauderdale so we'll see what happens.
    I'll let everyone know if I ever locate a source.

    Some cars had two separate pressure switches (high and low) and hence needed the extra port. If you replace the dryer with a 3-port dryer you just need to have the dual hi/lo switch. My dryer came with the switch included so problem solved.

    Mine had 4 ports but the drier I bought from Ricambi came with tthe dual switch. Easy repair, you can do it yourself. Just buy it and don't worry.
