and it sounds like it’s coming from my exhaust cs when i start the car it’s like im hearing the noise coming from under the car

@@dolo_kaayy At a minimum, you can try my fix. If that doesn’t work then I bet it’s the PCV/CCV. The systems support it being the latter but that job is more involved. With that being said, BMW issued a recall on some cars with this issue so they may cover the parts and install if your car is one of them. Call your local dealership and give them you VIN to see if it applies before anything. Btw that mechanic sounds like he gave you bad advice - your description of the symptoms don’t support that assessment

@@dolo_kaayy open the engine bay with the car parked and on. See if you can hear sounds coming from that area. Have some one rev the car while you listen to localize the sound

@@tractioncontroldeletei took a closer listen, and it sounds like it’s all over the engine bay😭 my belts already were squeaking but it was literally such a faint sound so there wasn’t really an issue with that but idk if it’s gotten worse now

@@dolo_kaayy definitely start focusing on the PCV/CCV. A smoke test can help to find potential vacuum leaks

@@deivid__ it could be my same issue. Any other symptoms?

@@tractioncontroldelete i think it can be, my car it’s actually misfiring because of a timing solenoid but now it’s doing that weird noise and like i said it just happen when im at a red light, whenever i turn it off and start it again it goes

@@deivid__ does it seem like it’s about to shut off or running particularly rough when stopped?

⁠​⁠​⁠@@tractioncontroldeleteyes, when the noise start the engine begins to idle rough like its about to shut down when it’s stopped, and the noise doesn’t increase with rpms its steady, because like i said it only happens when im at a stop sign or at a red light, if i stay a couple seconds with the car completely stopped the noise begins and start to idle rough

@@deivid__ got it. And what happens if you turn the car off then immediately turn it back on? Do the symptoms go away or are they still present?

@@Brandoncoopper that’s a fair assessment too. Open the hood and see if you can localize the sound. Hit me on IG if you have it. You can send a video so I can hear it too. To the extent it is the PCV then you can look into the warranty because BMW issued a special extension for some vehicles that are even as old as 2006

@@tractioncontroldelete really ? Okay I'll go to the dealership

@@Brandoncoopper They can do a VIN search then quickly let you know if your car was one of the vehicles that are covered.

@@Wojti11 That’s classic CCV symptoms. Once you do the swap (if you choose to) then I’d suggest installing an oil catch can to make it last longer. Also, please do yourself a favor and check with BMW using your vin to see if your car is covered under the recall. They’ll swap the part and cover expenses if your car happens to be covered. They extended the warranty for this particular issue

@@tractioncontroldeleteam I correct that if I have N52 from 2009, I have to change whole engine valve cover?

@@Wojti11 Yes, that’s exactly right

@@Vodka_Reloaded If it dies, it dies.

@@prosperityautocompany Yes, 245/40/17 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqWnc6ulZrB6kLMsi=CpeJbbhS7ZPXMQQJ

@@matt01064 Nope. They have it hidden in the idrive menu

@@tractioncontroldelete that’s gay Mine has it right there whenever it’s fun time😎

@@matt01064 😆 you’re right

@@alansolomon2863 To be honest, that sounds like the PCV/CCV because it’s only presenting when on the gas. The sound mixed with the occurrence only on accelerator suggests a likely failure. Check you VIN with BMW because quite a few cars are covered by a recall that could have it replaced for free

@tractioncontroldelete Wow! thank you so much. I totally appreciate you as I was baffled beyond confusion. 🙏

@@chromestarautodetailing1167 It never fully shut off but the idle was so rough and inconsistent that it seemed like it was about to.

It could be. A ruptured or collapsed oil filter can cause the sound. On a more complicated level, it could be the PCV/CCV

It’s the sending unit. The sending unit also has a fuel level gauge attached to it. Sometimes it gets worn out of just stuck. Change the sending unit and the problem will resolve itself.

@@tractioncontroldelete thank you so much.

Amazing thank you

All the parts wear over time so it’s a “while I’m in here” fix sometimes. Hopefully you used the fuel hose clamps. They do a better job without damaging the hoses

@@tractioncontroldelete i used the same clamps that were on the hose before the leak. Maybe it got a bit loose, or maybe the hose wasn't sealing properly anymore

@@Keless the hose probably had micro-tears. They’re not easy to see but when the lines are under pressure it’s enough to cause a leak

Here is the part number 51111960857 I’ve also updated the link in the description to take you right to it. Hope this helps 💪

I ran into that issue before and it was the vanos solenoid - once I made the swap my code went away

@@tractioncontroldelete does the siren noise comes too? Like the one coming in this video?

@@chetanjoshi5542 no, not in my experience with the solenoid

@@tractioncontroldeleteI have the same noise, replaced the solenoids and it’s still squelching, also very rough idle and wants to die

@@danieldekeyser6477 if it’s about to die then I think you should turn your attention to the PCV/CCV. Damage to the bladder, improper opening/closing, and/or aging can cause it to fail which would result in the squealing with rough idling where it’s about to die. Reach out on IG if you was to get more into it - it’d be helpful if you could send me a video of what’s going on

It was on intermittently. But went away after this fix

Nice, I think I am dealing with the same issue but I am thinking the check engine light and whistling whining sound not come on some times and it’s not there all the time when the car is on. Also noticed a small oil leak under car where oil pay is could be the drain bolt, I just bought this car from reputable dealer and it only had 68k miles

@@billwood4873 the oil leak isn’t necessarily connected to this particular fix because other than the damaged/torn filter, it wouldn’t lead to a leak unless the oil filter housing gasket was causing a leak itself. Otherwise it’s all self contained. Consider looking into the PCV/CCV and locating the leak elsewhere

Jeez, did you end up having a bad experience with them?

Turn on ignition but not engine, press start/stop button 3 times in quick succession. You then can hold down the trip reset button on the dash and it will enter the diagnostic menu

@@tractioncontroldelete thanks for the quick response. I’ve tried several times without success it just goes off after quickly pressing it. My model year is 2021 would it be any different??

@@ricardorojas4492 It should be the exact same because 21 would still be the F48 generation.

@@tractioncontroldelete would it be something wrong with the car that would not allow it to access that menu?

@@ricardorojas4492 No not at all. If anything, it’s the opposite. The diagnostic mode would always be available for exactly the situation where something is wrong. Most likely, your updated iDrive software requires you to access the diagnostic menu through a new procedure compared to my older system.

Yeah it’s heavy

One important thing is that the transmission has to be warmed up. Launch control will not be allowed by the DME to activate until the transmission has reached the appropriate temperature. In addition, make sure you have more than 1/4 tank of fuel as that will affect what the DME allows as well.

Yeah, the rear seats can fold down flat. The wheels are Apex EC-7 18x10

From iND. They sell them color-matched to your car

Yeah it did

@@tractioncontroldeleteappreciate you for the reply, I recently went to jiffy lube for an oil change and a day after I notice my car idling rough and having this same exact whistling noise plus a check engine light popped up

@@chrixtian223 it’s worth trying being that the part is so cheap and easy to fix. You could have a vacuum leak simply because they didn’t allow the o-ring to seat properly or double the new o-ring on top of the other

@@chrixtian223more than likely they took the little middle piece with the filter off i heard thats happened im doing mine Wednesday

And it very well could be the PCV, however a tear in the oil filter creates a vacuum leak that makes a similar noise. For me, the noise and rough idling never came back all these months later

So how was it? Is. Is it the PCV valve?

Hope it works!

Did it work for you? Or was there something else wrong?

@@flywdji for me, the issue hasn’t come back over these months

The sounds started first and then it began idling very rough. Once driving it seemed fine

The circle of life 🤣
