Great video. I need to replace the valve cover on my 11 528i soon. It's leaking oil into the spark plug wells. And a couple days ago it made some loud whistle noise. The PCV valve is probably bad.
I just replaced mine in my e83 07 X3. I went EPOXY, and I installed the spring. I wouldn’t do the RTV sealant as there’s more room for error. The epoxy dries in less than 15 minutes. If you remove the cowl, you have plenty of room to work it. Those tabs you see on top, if those line up with the vertical lines of the engine, you’re fine. Unfortunately for me, problem only got slightly better. The rubber was ripped, but it’s still misfiring. I’m doing the VANNOS check valves next. Which I unthreaded but won’t slide out of the block. I bet they are filthy.
whacky pax - yeah. They were filthy. They had metal in them. Sold the car for 1.5k. ☹️. Btw, I got those check valves out by cranking the engine with them loose. They bursted out and spilled about 2-3 liters of oil. My conclusion, old cars suck ass.
Hi guys, how's the e46 1.9L with model m43b19 1.9L? May know where the ccv or pcv valve located on my machine? Is it possible modify with install the catch oil tank?
is rough idle disappear if AC turn on? I have the issue only when idle without AC. I want to make sure before change the CCV. Thank you from Indonesia.
I have owned F10 5 series 2011 (n52) for the last 5 years and its been good to me. Issue and Symptoms: Every time I start my car it will start normally and in 5 sec after that I would hear a short hassling whistle and it would start to vibrate for 6 to 10 sec while the rpm needle would remain below 1000 and then it would pick up the RPM and stop vibrating (not completely you can feel light vibration). And driving if i step on the gas it somtimes delays in reacting and if I do stop at the light you can still feel is vibrating. I'm also getting some smell from the exhaust pipe but no smoke but its a strong scent. regardless of if the car is cold or hot if I start the car is would act in a similar manner. I believe it could be a vacuums issue (not sure though) Kindly assist me please
Hi, My bmw E83 crankcase vent valve went bad with pressure in engine & blow out my valve cover gasket. Do you think it could have damage any other seals?
The hose from the vent goes under the intake in to an oil separator.you might want to check the intake as well but usually just just the engine cover is starting to leak. The valve regulates just the pressure from top of the engine....so nothing to worry about
I have 2005 , 320i and have same smoke problem, i toke to workshop he check and said need to change the engine. 3 mechanic said same so i decided to change engine and its has same problem. Too much Smoke like before. What to do ?
If the problem is the same....its simple...it's not the engine 😈😬. You have to check you Katalysator, exhaust, turbo (if your car is equipped with) intercooler piping, intake, egr, agr, all the recirculation exhaust system,aux air pump if your car has one....and so on
hi i have also n52 engine but i have a little cap on my pcv from factory as this cap has a bmw part number , should i put agin this cap on the new pcv ? i don’t know why there is a cap here as normally pcv need to be free to work fine but as it is a bmw part it must have a genuine reason to be here please let me know thks
hi i have a z4 e86 with n52 engine 2007 model , after 10/2006 n52 has not anymore the ccv (please check real oem) but wondering wich n52 do you have as it should be same as mine and impossible to find this part on realoem please give me the bmw part number of the idle valve thks
The idle control valve refers to ccv (crank case valve). The n52 doesn't have idle valve. It keeps the idle with the valvetrononic motor in conjunction with vanos. The valve is glue to the engin cover. You can replace it or you can replace the hole cover. First you have to be sure that that is your problem. Scan the car first
Warp Drive M thank you very much i have a rough idle but seems it come from vanos filter i have to clean them but the problem is i have a leaking between transmission and engine and many people say it is due to bad pvc and accelerate pressure on the RMS that is why i would like before remove transmission check this valve on the cover gasket
Hi! I got a E92 bmw 2007 , 2.5i 92.000 miles on the clock..The problemI got is the engine just cut of at lower speed. I changed the VANOS solenoids the oil filter and the oil, but nothing happend, engine cuts of at lawer speeds.Can you give me some advices please! , I see you know all about this tipe of engines.Thanks allot!!!
all e90s have this issue..i haven found a fix but its very normal....the engine doesnt cut off it hesitates...u can use DS mode and u wont feel too much of that
i have a problem with my e90. it has a rough idle. it’s rough when i start it but then after a minute it goes away and then comes back. it also idles hard when ever i’m in gear like let’s say i want to reverse, my car moves by itself with idle going up like if it were to be cammed. please help me :(
If you still have the car, take a look at the hose connecting your intake air filter to the throttle body. If there's a little nipple on the black hose then that's where your pcv hose connects to
I have the same problem with the cold start by my n52 330i for 5 seconds that I have speed fluctuations as with you in the video even worse, I have cleaned the solenoid valves but no improvement, should I also change this membrane? thank you from Germany :)
In my case solved the problem. But I've ended up buying a hole new engine cover because I couldn't really glue it perfectly on the cover and I've cleaned the non return valves as well. I have a video for that as well
Warp Drive M I've already seen the video with the valves but you had no improvement there? I don't want to spend money unnecessarily. Your video looks very helpful. I've had the problem for over 7 months 😔
All most gone but not completely. I had to clean the non return valves on the vanos and that solved it completely. You can check that video as well on my channel.
That looks painful to change the whole cover after the first attemp to fix it. Did you ever have problem with hydraulic lifters clunking/ticking after first start in the morning on your model?
It is painful to change that cover...but if you take your time and remove everything even the wipers and the cawl you will have enough space. And I had some problems with the lifters but is all sorted now. It's a commune problem on this model
@@WarpDriveM how did you sort out the lifters?? I tried all kind of products for quiet lifter, none of them works! What did you do? It's driving me crazy! Mine clunks worse then diesel before it warms up and stops.
@@trade1713 in my case the oil channels were blocked. I've opened the engine cover and oil pan and cleaned everything. After that everything was fine. It was clogged almost everywhere. I have a video about this on my channel somewhere
The time you have installed it, at low idle did you get like engine vibration? I have replaced it and the engine stopped burning oil however, at low idle like 600 rpm. I have terrible vibration, and on warm start up I have got rough Idle. Thank you
That means that you have a vacuum leak. Maybe the valve is not sealed properly or your hose from the back from cover is not plugged or somewhere else is leaking vacuum
@@firasalwakeel5365 best bet is to replace the whole cover it comes with built in CCv..by the I highly recommend you to replace eccentric shaft sensor same time along with rubber seal. It will be one time headache and avoid you for future trouble.
That solved my problem but I didn't like it because it wasn't straight and not fully pressed. I didn't want to risk after a few weeks or months to have it redone again so I've ended up removing the engine cover and in the next video you can see the end result. BUT changing that valve it resolved my idling problem!
If you are replacing the valve do not use the spring anymore because it won't seat properly because of the spring pressure OR put something on the valve to keep it pressed till the glue dries.
This is a "hmmm ok" fix, I wouldn't do that, too much danger of busting something, also having to silicone a new part in... do it once properly, these kinda botch jobs "could" cause more problems if you get unlucky, the proper fix is to replace the valve cover
On this model the ccv is glued into the engine cover and is connected with the "pcv" from under the intake manifold (not exhaust manifold) with that hose that comes out of the engine cover
@@seyoneford1replacing the valve cover is only necessary if the PCV is built in and non-serviceable. Technically this isn’t replaceable per BMW but if you are replacing your valve cover to fix a PCV issue and you are able to remove the PCV separately then yes, it will fix it. You are making a broad generalization with no clue what you’re talking about. If your PCV valve is faulty, replacing it will obviously fix it. So… stop confusing people
@AbsolutelyNot12345 yes you're correct. This engine shown in the video has the CCV built in the valve cover which means you will have to replace the valve cover to truly fix the issue. It was a simple direct response not a general response to the main question which was what should he do for his issue.
For sure on the bench I could probably do it right but I wanted to avoid removing the cover and I've ended up doing it!?! 😂 about accident....something really stupid! I've just felt on the street while crossing on the other side and I felt wrong on my right ankle and busted my left knee. Like I've said stupid accident and I can't walk for 3 weeks now....😥
No need. Use epoxy, hold it for 5 minutes. If thinking you’ll still own it in 10 years.. you might be thinking poor. And by then, the valve cover might be leaking anyways so you’ll need to replace seals. Mine is 13 yrs old with 155k miles. New Pcv should hold another 10 years.

Is the nipple on the ccv or pcv blocked off ? Mine has a hose that ran to the Throttle body
That is a vent pipe, in some models goes like your case to throttle body or directly out
Hi guys, how's the e46 1.9L with model m43b19 1.9L?
May know where the ccv or pcv valve located on my machine? Is it possible modify with install the catch oil tank?
Taking that cover off is a pain. Bmw stuck the engine a good amount towards the firewall. Wish it was forward more.
Yeah I feel the same. But if you remove the wipers and all the plastic parts you have room to work but still tight.
I'm not sure if you'll still reply, but does a hose connect to that valve? I see there's a piece that seems like a hose connected there
There is no hose in there is just a release cap but you are right it looks like that 😅

Did you ultimately solve the problem?
Do you put hose in to ccv yet
Hi, My bmw E83 crankcase vent valve went bad with pressure in engine & blow out my valve cover gasket. Do you think it could have damage any other seals?
The hose from the vent goes under the intake in to an oil separator.you might want to check the intake as well but usually just just the engine cover is starting to leak. The valve regulates just the pressure from top of the engine....so nothing to worry about
Thank You, Friend !
An other point an overpressure in the crankcase would blow is the crankshaft seal.
is there suppose to be a hose on that ccv valve? or does it just release to atmosphere?
No hose, won't release to atmosphere because of the membrane, the hole is there just for membrane to be able to move otherwise will create vacuum
There must be a pipe connecting PCV to intake manifold. Just as a reminder, PCV is a part of the EVAP system.
the car is undulating, the computer indicated a poor mixture, where to start? it is possible that I do not have catalysts

Scan the engine for fault codes with an OBD tool. Crankshaft or camshaft sensors are likely bad. But first scan the engine for the stored codes.
