thanks for the very detailed video for replacing PCV valve cover. this will help all gen1 community a lot. 👊🏼
Thanks bro for a detailed demonstration unfortunately I didn’t watch your video first and I pinched the seal so I tried it your way and it worked way better Thank you
I'm glad my engine isn't the only one that has that unholy clicking noise. Nice video.
Mine does it too
Just did it on a 2017 740I.Incredible! Thanks!
This channel is gold! 🙌🏽
Just changed mine today haven’t driven my car in like 4 days waitin for one😭 Great demonstration tho helped me do mine
You're definitely better at explaining things and making these informative videos so I'm glad someone finally made this video using this method!
May have to link this on my website as well!
Hey Matt. I bought one of your kits for Christmas. Cannot wait to install it!
@@universalg_ Awesome! Thanks for your business! if you have any questions or issues contact me on my website or through email! also send me pics after!
@@rossrperformance anytime! I was the one who emailed you about changing the stock intake section to aftermarket. Not sure if you remember that email or not but ya hahaha I’ll definitely show pics once I install it!
@@universalg_ Ahh yes of course! I made sure to add a note on the order so I wouldn't forget either because I had to wait for a shipment of the 3 port OCC ! but thank you! enjoy and Happy Holidays!
@@rossrperformance appreciate you my friend. I’m happy to have your kit ordered as my PCV just got busted today. Happy holidays to you as well
Nice vid, congrats on the Ross partnership. Yuuuuuge
This channel is diamond 💎
Excellent video and yes it really is that easy.
Thanks for the info
Thank you! Merry Christmas!!
Just did this but I didn’t reuse the OEM plastic cap but the replacement, now I’m doubting myself if it’s as tight as the OEM one, can you spin the OEM cap whilst it’s in place with some force or is it tight af? As my replacement lets you spin if you use some force
edit: the replacement Chinese plastic cap I could remove with just my hand and no tools, stuck the OEM one back on and now it ain’t budging
W Kern for the discount code🔥🔥🔥
Do you have a link to the metal pick / pry tool you used? Thanks. Always top notch content. Just ordered one from Ross Racing to keep in the trunk in case it fails while I'm idling away from home.
I bought it from amazon. It was actually a whole trim tool kit. Just look for one that includes that tool or your local hardware store may have one. It's common
someone get this man to 5k subs
Hey Kevin, old video but I had the PCV diaphragm issue today. Whistling/screeching noise after idle, followed by puff of white smoke out of exhaust, went away after driving for a bit. I just ordered the ross racing replacement, going to replace it asap. Is it safe to drive the car in the meantime?
Thanks for the content btw, I come to your channel for everything B58, super knowledgeable
I wouldn't if you don't have to
Easy peasy!
Bootmod3 without dme unlock?
Is this common on the gen 1?I was sitting in the parking lot at my wife doctor appointment for about 35 min wit the car idling with ac on and im current on stage 2 catless dp car was idling heard a hissing noise and then I seen smoke
Top tier content literally.
Also.. Do you think using permatex oil resistant ultra black gasket maker around the inner bottom lip of the cap (small cm wide line around cap) would be a good idea to keep it more reliable & still serviceable? Or is the way you doing it completely reliable & fine for long term (just snap it back on after it gets auctioned down) ?
This is reliable. Literally unclip and reclip
@@kern417 awesome! Was asking because on the forum I saw some people doing that like for example on this N55 PCV post on the Bimmerpost.
Yeah some people do but it's not really needed
Also idky your posts got deleted. I got the notifications but it's only letting me see one comment so I'm assuming RUclips did it automatically
Do not I repeat do not use permatex or any gasket maker if any kind it will not work and you will have to scrape off with razor and it’s not logical
Would you worry about the cap sealing properly? I saw someone add some silicone to the cap in another video what do you think?
No
upon cold start up my 340i has smoke coming out the passenger side exhaust so im wondering if it's my PCV or if it could be because i had just recently installed a catless downpipe about 1000ish miles ago
Did you end up fixing your issue?
I noticed on the website for Ross racing, it keeps mentioning needed to use the 2 screws that come with the kit but I didn’t see you use anything of the sort in the video, what might that be?
They are the small set screws on the side of the cap itself
Do gen2 b58tu owners need to worry about the pcv failing?
I haven't heard any issues yet but most cars are also low mileage. We'll just have to keep paying attention.
Hey kern! I have a 2021 3.0 supra that blows a puff of smoke when coming to a full stop (only at operating temps). I took it to Toyota for a warranty repair but their solution (cleaning out PCV) only temporarily remedied the situation. It started happening again. I run catless on a custom e30 jb4 tune. Anything you’ve heard of before?
May need to replace the valve cover
@@kern417 thank you so much man, I’ll look into it!
Is there a module within bimmerlink you can monitor to confirm it's your pcv valve?
not specifically but you will usually get misfire codes or air leak codes.
Any idea what a P0446 code is? It's reading evaporative emissions system vent control circuit....
scan with a bmw code reader to get the 6 digit code
does this pcv work better with ngk or champion spark plugs
Yes
Started up my first gen b58 this afternoon in my tiny garage and went back inside to do a few things….….20 minutes went by and forgot car was idling in garage, went out and was almost floored to see white smoke pouring out of my small garage and burnt oil smell. Was shocked, and thought car was gonna blow or something. Super anxious thinking it’s something car ending but quickly found out that these first gen b58s are prone to this ( thanks forums ). Went down to harbor freight and got the big body panel pry kit ($8) and rushed back home. I rushed because I read that cap is easier to pry off when car is warm so…..anyhow took the cap off with pry tool (came off easier than I thought) and first thing I noticed was that little plastic cap inside with the diaphragm and spring were all soaked with oil. Looked immediately at diaphragm and was dismayed to see that diaphragm looked fine. But having bad eyes and the fact that diaphragm was covered in oil , I brought it inside and wiped off oil and looked at it under a bright light and there it was…a small tear in the diaphragm by the edge. No parts stores around here has it so have to check with dealer. I’m hoping I could just purchase the diaphragm but I venture it’s gonna be the whole assembly, cover, cap, spring and diaphragm.
currently the repair kit is only sold online that i've seen. check the link in the description.
One last question and btw I got that diaphragm from Ross racing and did that trick you show in video..crazy how it works. Anyhow have a crapload of burnt oil residue throughout exhaust and probably in manifold and turbo probably. Do I just run car at WOT now and then to clear it all it out , assuming that would take days and days of driving for that? They also have fuel additives that apparently clean out your cat ( mine is the ER high flow ) and exhaust system like cataclean and duralube makes one also. What do you think? I hope my cat or no other internals were screwed up by the burnt oil
Thanks for great video
It'll burn off over time
Would replace the plugs? Fouling?
Or is burning of oil after the combustion chamber?
@@scottjohnson8316 you can check them and if there's signs of burning then yes
Hello, can you post a link where I can buy the item you installed? Thank you
Check the link in description for "BimmerNetwork" they sell replacements
Can the pcv throw a check engine light and throw the code ” Catalyst System Efficiency
Below Threshold Bank 1” is it possible for the pcv to be the cause of this check engine light ?
it’s ur o2 sensor
Perfect Perfect!!$
Kern, My 2020 supra was built on 6/19, I have 13,000 miles on her. Should I be concerned about changing the PCV valve?
Typically it works pretty well, but your car isn't going to have the same style with all this mine. If yours fails, you'll have to replace the whole valve cover.
@@kern417 Thank You
Hey buddy I just had this issue I was able to purchase aftermarket I used your method of install and yes the car drives doesn’t smoke but I feel like everyone and again it wants to stall and I smell like burnt suttin oil or coolant
Idk I heard and bmw wants you to swap the entire valve cover Not really sure what to do
I also once in a blue I hear it make that whistle but a vague version and upon accelerating it goes away I installed 100 percent your way and I did check the seating on diaphragm and it was nicely seated and all
@@davidechevarria1496 check your spark plugs
Can This Work For 2017 540i x Drive
Yes
Great video and channel thank you, I have a 2017 140i that had this exact issue. I had the diaphragm replaced, all good. About 200 miles later I got the error code 180001 Catalytic converter: Efficiency too low. I’ve never seen this before. I cleared the code, just waiting to see if it comes back. I’m sure it’s related to the PVC issue ? Any ideas ? Thanks again. John
Do you have an aftermarket downpipe?
@@kern417 it’s all original as new, I’ve had the car since new. Thanks for your reply.
Sounds like the downpipe needs to be replaced. You may have an emissions warranty that covers it depending on the mileage
Do you mean the catalytic converter when you say down pipe ? Many thanks for your reply.
@@justmejonboy yep, but to fix it they replace the downpipe since it's all one piece
Is it fine if the cap is a little loose? I had to reuse the original one because the one that came with the replacement kit didn’t seem to snap back on. The OEM one got a little bent but it fits better than the new one I got
it should clip back on
@kern417 My new one clips on, but I can unclip it with my hand. I needed a Pry tool to remove the OEM.
During normal operation and under boost, would the cap be subjected to pressure wanting to push it off the valve cover? Or would the cap inherently be sucked against the cover?
I’m just curious the risk of the cap blowing off during operation if it’s not as tight as OEM
It may see boost especially if the diaphragm ripped
@@kern417is it fine to just use the oem cap? I can’t get the one it came with on
Yes if it's not damaged
Are gen 2 the same for replacement?
No, the gen 2 valve cover doesn't have the same cap on top
@@kern417 how do you replace it?
So this just happened to my 2017 340i. I was in a car wash line idling for about 45 mins and then a loud whistling sound appeared and excessive white smoke from my exhaust with a smell of either oil/gas. Turned it off popped the hood no leaks or smoke from the bay and all lines were secure. No over heating either. Let it sit for about 30 mins started it up again and it was running fine. Again no lights or CEL. I Drive reports all systems good. I drove the car home (about 25 min drive) and it ran like nothing ever happened. Called my tech brought the car in on a tow the next day. They ran diagnostics, again no faults reported, they drove the car about 10 miles, then ran the car on the lift for an extended period of time. Then drove it again when it was cold. No symptoms. Also checked the pcv diaphragm for punctures and nothing. I’m scratching my head on this one. Anyone with any insight would be greatly appreciated. (56k on the dash oil changes every 3k on the dot) (stage 2 flash tune/intake/ careless dp) tech said the injectors are fine and my sparks were changed at 25k and 50k.
Any answers?
Hi, I just changed the PCV valve with the exact same issues, identical. From all videos I saw on RUclips, what you present here is the PCV issue.
Just had this same exact shit happen to me when I was at a view spot with a girl. Gave her quite the experience with the smoke bomb😂
Did you ever figure this out?
It’s the Engine crankcase Pressure Control valve . Bmw has a warranty out on it
Skip to 3:00 if you need to get to it...
Hi
This only helps for a few weeks max, after u will still have to change the valve cover
Not if you do it properly
@@kern417 I have a question maybe u can help me out my car only blows hot air from drivers side and that too not how hot it’s suppose to be, passenger side is cold. I have checked on ista No fault codes at all. All sensors are working too. Any idea?
@@kern417 I got a 340i
@@y0685 You should go through your AC system and check for leaks and make sure it's topped off
@@kern417 what does the ac have to do with hot air?
Don’t buy Vargas PCV replacement, go ross racing. That’s all I’m saying
Good I bought Ross racing. Is it easy to install ?
My VTA kit DIY will be posted next week
@@universalg_ easy enough Kern was one who put me onto it Vargas I found very cheap and a “check valve” as they call it consisting of a ball bearing that can go anywhere fast
I ran the vargas breather, upon changing my oil recently I found my subframe pan completely soaked in oil. The gasket on the breather cap was allowing oil past and leaking down between the intake manifold and the valve cover. The breather never fully seemed to seat all the way to begin with and I decided to just install the OEM oil cap again in the meantime.
