BMW 330i 325i E46 CCV Replace & Intake Removal DIY (Part 2) - Put It Back Together! P0171 P0174

Frustrated with those other CCV replacement videos where they basically tell you to fish those tubes through the intake manifold blind? Well in my video I go ahead and remove the intake manifold, which lets you get access to replace a lot of vacuum lines and other components, and in doing so I give you a view of exactly how to fish the CCV tube through the manifold and hook it to the oil separator so that you can SEE what you need to do clearly, should you decide not to remove it.
To see the video on how to remove all the usual suspects:
• BMW 330i 325i E46 Comm...
In this video I work on my 2002 BMW 330i.
I also clean the throttle body and idle air control valve, which really gave me a boost in responsiveness, by the way.
In this part I show you the various vacuum lines you can replace as well as the intake manifold gasket and I show you how to put everything back together.

i know I am pretty off topic but do anybody know a good place to stream newly released series online ?

[@WalterHusmann]

I just wanted to let you know that I personally believe your videos that cover the BMW M54 engine like this one are easily the best that exist on KZbin. You cover everything from start to finish and show everyobne exactly how each repair or replacement is done. You are my goto resource for my own do it yours repairs on my 330Ci, and I would never be able to do them without your videos. I mean you are head and shoulders above everyone else for the BMW e46 vehicles, so I sioncerely thank you for taking the time to help the rest of us out in this way. Thanks again.

[@LIOTBs]

Thank you not simply saying, "Okay do everything in reverse". Thank you for actually showing the reassembly. Thanks also for all the detail.

[@brianc9036]

Agreed amazing!!!!

[@rainsf0rd]

nah mate you need to buy a haynes manual for that advice ;)

[@bdhsjbshs]

Thank you 50s kid! I can't quite believe I just took a BMW to peices and put it back together again with no problems, no error codes, having never so much as changed an air filter before in my life. I just took my 325 for a good thrash around south London tonight and it's driving better than ever. There's no way I could have done this without your videos! I wouldn't have even contemplated it.

[@jp-yv7hl]

Wow! I did it! No warning lights or anything after I put it all together. Thanks 50skid! There were some seriously degraded vacuum hoses under and behind the manifold that I'm really happy I replaced.

[@pkizzle65]

Hey man. Just wanted to say a big thank you for your video on replacing the CCV and coming up with the suggestion of taking the intake manifold off. Just got it completed today and replaced many other items while I was deep inside. Thank you again!!!

[@randyrenken2804]

So good and detailed I’m 65 and could not have done this manifold removal without this detailed DIY Thank you

[@randyrenken2804]

Requarding the 2 star bolts for the starter Remove them with a small breaker bar and socket capable of fitting the star

[@nannettealexander]

Great videos. Note to newbies-easier to re-install electrical box after you have shimmied the dipstick pipe back in place. I ended up having to unbolt mine to get the dipstick at the right angle to push it back in.

[@lylehiggins7142]

This is the gift that keeps on giving. Our bmw was running rough so decided to take this on. I have never worked on one of these cars and it was eye opening. Thanks so much for the time and effort you put into this. It was incredibly helpful for a successful outcome!!!!

[@CUTTEO67]

I have never seen anyone who is more thorough than this guy on the videos. Thank you so much. You don't know how much I appreciated you on this video. I learned so much.

[@quinn1883]

Thank you for the videos. I used them to fix my sister's 2001 525i. It was my first time working on BMWs. However, watching your videos gave me the confidence, and it helped save tons of money on labor cost.

[@legocommanderstar]

[@THEKIKSOFTEXAS]

Just did my CCV replacement today and I have to say you helped every step of the way, I watched this video a few times before going out there. Took 3 hours and have everything I needed including my extra vacuum lines and I needed them.

[@50sKid]

Nice, glad you managed it.

[@geary2]

Thanks for your video. I'm in the middle of putting engine back together and you helped me tremendously.

Thank you. I really appreciate your videos. Its pretty much the most helpful out there. Keep it up bro.

[@sheilabolz5131]

Thanks for taking the time to make both of those videos - I'm now almost done putting it back together. I don't think I could have done it without a video like this - my chiltons makes NO mention of any vacuum components!

[@markm6098]

Great video. I'm about to do this on the weekend, first time doing it but your video is easy to follow, that gives me the confidence to tackle this job. I've already replaced the crankcase gasket with one of your videos and it was perfect. So thank you.

[@jacobelmer521]

You're the man, thanks for always sharing your knowledge on the e46. I've learned so much from your videos and have done so much maintenance to my 03 325i. Keep doing what you're doing my friend.

[@michaelkrljic4905]

Awesome post! Thanks for taking the time to document. I needed to replace CCV, starter as well as blower motor on my sons 325i so I used this video to help me navigate though removing the intake and installing CCV. Removing the intake did make the CCV installation a breeze. Thanks Again!

[@Straightline_racing]

Great video. I have wondered why nobody removes the manifold to do this. I have a leak in my heater inlet pipe at the Orings in my 99 528i. Im in the process of fixing it now and am going to replace ccv system as well. I like your approach to things I have seen in your videos. Thanks again

[@gregfern7764]

Super video. Easy to follow, a good perfect amount of detail and clarity. Thank you!

[@Michael-to7im]

Great job doing the two heater lines under the manifold today you are the MAN!!!!

[@ForidKhan123]

Jason, you’re a hero and a legend! Could not have done this without watching your videos. Small yet vital info helped so much like the injector clips as I slotted it on to the lower groove so fixed it up after I saw yours also the two tiny vacuum lines and their locations, mine were deteriorated to begin with so I didn’t know where which one goes where. Thanks for London!

[@JaimeRodriguez-ch7bl]

I just want to thank you for all of your videos on a E46. I have a 2001 330i and I learned a lot from watching your videos. Thank you once again.

[@musicbyjova9104]

The beautiful thing about videos in general is that you can pause them and take your time when trying to figure stuff out. This is how it's been for me and I am so glad I found your channel. Like many others on here I am extremely grateful to be able to acquire so much knowledge from you. Your videos are super helpful and pretty easy to follow thanks to the wonderful, clear, and straight forward instructions. Great camera work! This is super important too for obvious reasons. You have such a "can do" attitude which is really encouraging. Helped me stay positive until the job was done. I can't thank you enough for taking so much time and putting so much effort just to help everyone with their cars. Cheers! 🍻

Bro, you just saved me a ton of money! Thanks!!! Been working on replacing my CCV for the past two days...got a new CCV kit, took out the manifold, and replaced everything that you mentioned...gonna finish reconnecting everything tomorrow but the bulk of the work is done, thank God...Again, thanks!

[@USMC142]

Thanks for the Videos. The best E46 repair information out there by far. Keep up the good work 50sKid.

[@moesouleiman1690]

Thanks champ absolute legend Followed all 3 of your vidz and changed my starter, ccv valve and cleaned majority of the common parts Thanks again

[@stacytobeyreynolds825]

This video is great. Just removed the intake, changed the CCV and all hoses/vacuum lines on my 2002 325xi. The rough idle is gone and codes are gone for now. Would not have attempted this without this great video. Saved me tons of cash.

[@seaniarno2366]

HI J .. Fist of all, what a great set of videos. Absolutely invaluable in helping me attempt the CCV replacement. Just wanted to mention, I also changed the starter. As you say, it's not possible to use a socket and wrench but with an angled ring spanner it's pretty straightforward. By using a second ring spanner on the head of the first, it's possible to get the leverage to crack the bolts without too much trouble. I then used a ratchet spanner (1/4 turn at a time) to do the rest. Takes a little bit of time and patience but with the intake manifold off, it really isn't that difficult.

[@noobytothecore4230]

Using your vids for intake manifold rebuild basically and this vid has come in clutch thank you sir for the knowledge

[@bend__]

I need to change my ccv for the 2nd time now, definitely will remove the intake manifold now, just like you already said... it cost me quite some time to get the tubes in with the manifold on, on my first go. And I remember myself hitting the boiling point a few times while I was trying to get that short tube in. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge. Makes me feel more comfortable to work on my own car.

[@hansnovel965]

Excellent video, just finished replacing starter on 2002 BMW 325xi...removed int manifold and followed your instructions...thanks

[@TheOswaldoReyes]

Love your videos, man. I'm living in México and to have a BMW is so expensive here, but if I do some things is not so expensive. I use to be guided by your videos and I spend money as I spent when I have a Jetta and I am feeling good to know that what I've done is well done, that all of the pieces are in place and that all of them are NEW replacement pieces (here is normal to pay for some fix and not have what you paid for). Thank you. Hope you understand what I tried to say, I don't speak or write english very well. By the way... I use to buy what I need in eBay, purchases are delivered in a friends house and I use to go 2 times at month and I take those pieces.

[@chuckviladevall8437]

Excellent....thank you! These videos gave me extreme confidence while removing my intake! FYI...I discovered a 12pt 3/8 inch box end wrench (with another box end wrench attached as a cheater) worked great for the E-Torx starter bolts. It's a precise fit and there is no slop! Thanks again for you invaluable contributions to the E46 community!

[@50sKid]

Yep I used that in my starter video. Thanks!

[@THEKIKSOFTEXAS]

Best video for CCV hands down, youre awesome

Can't wait to do this once I'm up to it on my spreadsheet list, looking like August 2024 at this stage haha. Thank you 50sKid!

[@jargobordine7254]

Dude I don’t mean to be cheesy but your videos are a freakin blessing! I love my 330ci and I couldn’t figure out the mayonnaise problem. This solved it! You took an overwhelming problem in my mind and spoon fed me like a baby bird... thanks a lot from Michigan!

[@pictiuretube]

This is the clearest and most helpful video I have watched and used to remove and replace the coolant tubes under the intake manifold. With the intake manifold removed, I went ahead and replaced the CCV, DISA, Vacuum hoses, and gaskets. Thanks for this video. I could not have done it without this video. You made it look so easy and it gave me a lot of confidence. I did it successfully.

[@adambustamante8288]

Hello pictiuretube I know it's been a few years since you made this comment but I have done the same repair on my vehicle( replacement of the two coolant system tubes that are

[@adambustamante8288]

Sorry about that I accidentally sent my comment before it was finished anyway as I was saying, I replaced the 2 coolant tube that are located right underneath that manifold, but after putting everything back the coolant leak was fixed but now I have a rough idle and misfires. Why do you think that is?

[@williameldon8768]

Your videos are always excellent. Thanks for sharing.

[@Mysticlyonenterprise]

Nice video man.i took off my intake manifold 2 weeks now and just getting back to it.busy fixing every other car except mines lol.had to remember where some things go back to so this refreshed me greatly.I did change my starter as well other parts that was old and bout to break,vacuum hoses,coolant hoses etc.as for the starter bolts,get the driver side one from below,the other I used torx wrench,made that easy without removing engine mount.ready I tell you.thanks again man.following now👍🏽 respect from North Carolina

[@Reggiewade04]

I’d just like you to know this weekend I’ve replaced my valve cover, valve cover gasket (and grommets), and the whole ccv system and vacuum lines. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without your videos They’re incredibly in depth and helpful and being a senior in high school looking to get into working on stuff like this not yet having the experience this was perfect Will be watching your oil filter housing gasket and doing that tomorrow as well Keep up the great informative videos I will definitely be watching more as needed Thanks

[@fjwong7337]

Valuable addition to the knowledge base. Thanks.

[@knowlesb8]

Brilliant tutorial thanks for taking the time to explain & show how this is done much appreciated

[@aniounzftw337]

so good. best diy ever. have had so much struggle with this

[@allaroundtrailerrepair484]

I want to do a massive shout out to you !!!! Great videos helped me tremendously. Thank you!

[@veritasvincit4178]

I had to pull the manifold off again to put that vacuumed line on. I replace the starter while I was in there. I used a non ratcheting socket wrench to break loose and the ratcheting wrench to work it out. Also a tip i found helpful Was to actually start my screws with my retrieval telescoping magnet, if you center it in the magnet then you can twist it to get it started if he turns with no risk of dropping the screw or nut😀. My E 46 is a 2006 so there are some Differences in the electrical connections and a few of the vacuum lines but I figured it out, and I couldn’t of done it without your videos they were my go to thank you so much for taking the time to put them out there to help everyone with their BMWs

[@blackseabrew]

Oh my is this a good video!!!! Took me a while to understand how to unhook all of the manifold connections and this was the best video ever to assist in that process. It's now a one day job to remove/install the manifold. Given the car has 190,000 this will be handy when it's time to change the starter. Didn't know my water pipes were cracked where they seated in the block. What a pain to remove these pieces with a pick and a vacuum so the pieces didn't end up in the block. But at least I found my coolant leak. Surprised I could keep any coolant at all in the system. But it's been like that for years. Great explanation of the fuel injector clip reinstallation. I missed the part where you said it was a challenge to install the CCV line up to the valve cover before installing the manifold. Big mistake. Can't thank you enough. Saved me a ton of money.

[@INNO222]

Jason excellent, parts 1&2 both. It will be a big help when I do my E39. Thanks.

[@rayhamilton1682]

Very useful guide, has made the job a lot easier, this procedure without your help, would be very frustrating.

[@davidzip873]

The reassembly went smooth thanks for the detailed steps! But on restarting the top of my fuel injectors did not seat unto my old o-rings and the rail sprayed gas over and not through the fuel injectors. Had a gas puddle under the car. Would be a good idea to get new o-rings, or put oil on the o-rings before seating. There are some excellent re-manufactured OEM injectors out there (like GB) that take care of the cleaning, new filter insert, o-rings, and update worn internals. At about $25 each injector after core, this is an opportunity to refresh this part of the fuel system while putting things back together.

[@martymeyer4125]

Please continue to name things as you go. It's so very helpful when you can't see everything, including the vaccum line into the dipstick tube.

[@phylrick1]

Forgot to mention.....I am not sure what we are measuring but if it's what I think it is I'm way to embarrassed to tell!!!!! THANKS AGAIN 50skid.....you have saved me 1000's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Staygoldfarms]

Extremely informative video. Much appreciated. All the best

[@kevincapozzi3185]

SO HELPFUL!!!! Very grateful for your great vids!

[@tedsmith2186]

This series of videos needs to be enshrined somewhere. I recently bought a 2004 BMW 330i ZHP 6-speed with 140k mikes and have been doing a lot of preventative maintenance. Early on, I did the cooling system components on the front of the engine. But this past weekend, I did a bunch of stuff under the intake manifold: CCV, plastic coolant pipes, and starter. These videos were so helpful in showing well lit closeups of each step in both the removal and reassembly. Disconnecting the fuel line was a challenge, but it got easier once I realized it was secured to the back of the manifold in a bracket. Also, like some others mentioned, I found it much easier to reinstall the fuel injectors onto the fuel rail before inserting into the manifold. You can put the clips on the injectors and then snap them onto the rail. I went slow and took all weekend, but at the end, I said a prayer and then started the car right up. I never would have attempted something like this without these great resources. Thanks!

[@KulaginDenis]

2 years of hesitation and probably 5 times watching this video, I did this job!!! Weirdest thing about my European October 2001 330i is that I have that plug in the back of intake manifold (the one for secondary air pump) but it is just attached with zip tie to the main wire for coils. It is hanging there since I have no secondary pump. My guess is that BMW did not want to waste the already produced wiring harnesses. My oil return line just split in half basically and was slowly dropping oil on the engine block. Eventually massive RICH mixture with about 20% compensation that led to drastic comsumption increase. Thank you, Jason! I do all my jobs with your videos.

[@iainsutherland7951]

Hi Jason - just wanted to thank you for a great set of videos on the E46 - gave me a lot more confidence to tackle the specifics of this M54 engine. Smoking engine turned out to be valve cover gasket failure - also oil filter housing gasket was leaking. Did both these plus replaced CCV , auxiliary belts and vacuum lines - didn't regret taking intake manifold off - for general access. A few minor build differences with Right Hand Drive model regarding cable runs and aircon aux belt tensioner being 55 torx rather than 16mm nut. She fired up just fine and so far so good. Quality set of videos - keep up the good work.

[@50sKid]

Nice job!

[@davidullman5261]

Awesome help. Couldn't have done it without the video to refer to. Definitely install ALL the new CCV hoses prior to reinstalling the manifold, ESPECIALLY if cold weather kit is used.. the insulation around the oil separator makes it even MORE difficult to seat the two new CCV hoses

[@50sKid]

Yeah, for sure.

[@kevinVersus]

Just finished this job. It seems overwhelming at first but just follow the steps and all will be fine. I have a Canadian model and noticed some differences, a vac line or two and a wire connector he had that I don't. After putting everything back together and starting the car it still ran shitty. I checked a plug on the back of the manifold that I new was brittle and split and taped it up snug and slid it back on, now she runs pretty good. MAF might need cleaning.. not sure though. Anyway, thank you 50's Kid. You're a hero

[@fjwong7337]

Hey man thanks for the vid. I now am able to replace my CCV pipes . Just have to wait for the weather to get better

[@danl4222]

Fantastic. I will be performing this task this weekend. We just bought 2004, and its got all the symptoms of a ripped diaphragm in the CCV. The vacuum in the crankcase is WAY too high. I can Barely remove the oil fill cap while the engine is running because the suction in there is so high. I sure appreciate the tutorial. Hopefully i can fish the new ccv through there .. now that I see how it works. If not .. I'm all over removing that intake manifold. Thank you , Thank you.

[@MohammadHussain-br9xs]

50sKid outstanding experienced! ! Great video.

[@stephenlavelle1670]

Great vidoes! Your very knowledge,ive had my 530i e39 m54 for about 2yrs . A week ago i started to replace basically the whole right side of the motor! Your Vidoes are a Huge Help. Thank you Very Much!

[@khamtp42]

very good video love it the way you show and explain especially small vaccum hole dont remember and all that connector thank you so much

[@Lt_X]

I have to say, you're a great instructor. I followed your steps for taking off the manifold to replace ccv and hoses, it all currently sits on a piece of cardboard in my spare bedroom (my new shop), I replaced my knock sensors while the engine is bare, I wish I had purchased the coolant hoses that are also under the intake ahead of time. I have never been a mechanic until beginning four years ago when I purchased my BMW 2002 530i M54. So looking at all of this that I had disconnected per your video, I am so intimidated anticipating the reinstall. After watching this video, I feel a little more comfortable about reinstall though still with a little intimidation. I'm mostly afraid that after reinstalling all of it, that something will be plugged into an incorrect place and my car will be toast. I have to do this though, without any assistance from anybody who knows BMW side from you and this video. I am confident with intimidation, my feelings about this are strange even to me. However, I will take my time and practice patience (until I drop something that disappears ie. 10mm haha), that's the best way I believe to be able to tackle such a huge deal to me. Thank you so much for your "detailed" instruction, I don't have the funds to take my car (daily driver 225k miles), to any shop, so it's on me an inexperienced auto/BMW mechanic. Wish me luck because here I go, it's all out, time for reinstallation. "Breathe, just breathe" (telling myself) 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ZeroGravityShisha]

Thank your for this! One of the few vids where you can acutal see anything that's happening in the engine bay. Just got done with a intake transplant and now it's pouring and storming... Got lucky :)

[@cristelamendoza676]

Tanks man really helpfully!! I just replaced the purge valve and at the moment to pull the last hose the one under the manifold got lose! Im not even know where a was connected to. Now I know

[@luckybrake3767]

Great videos, Thanks for all the time you spent doing these. I got to the point of removing the intake and paused. I was able to install my new cold weather CCV without removing the intake manifold. It was tight but I took my time and was very gentle with the parts and the connection of the tubes. I bought my 02 325i as a fixer upper. It would blow lots of smoke when you started it up. It ran rough as I could hear a massive vacuum leak. The spark plugs were oil fouled and lots of carbon build up. Compression on the engine was excellent. I poured some Sea Foam into the cylinders and let it soak. Installed new plugs, changed the oil and NO MORE SMOKE. My $1500 BMW is a keeper. Oh, the dash gauge reads -40 degrees and I think it needs a new fuel sending unit.??? Thanks again, GPappy

[@davidgruen7423]

-40 degrees and your guess is “fuel sensing unit”, lol

[@dougdileo4727]

dude you rock..i have an x3 2.5L...with either a cracked intake or leaking gasket...replaced everything else and now worse fuel trims..can hear the hissing can't find the vacuum leak even smoke tested 3 times...pulling it apart tmmrw

[@CORVAIRWILD]

You can get the starter bolts with a 10mm combo wrench from underhood. The 10mm fits the Etorx perfectly. It's painfully slow to remove, and I kept a telescopic magnet handy for the dozens of times the combo wrench fell off, to the floor . But after, grind a slot in the starter bolt once you've spent 1 hour removing them from up top. The slot will allow you to use a skinny screwdriver to access that slot from the front side of the bellhousing. This is a trick I learned from working on Corvairs

[@stanleykeeley417]

[@fuddknuckles2136]

Very helpful and easy to understand, only issue I have is that there is no torque specification on the throttle body and the 11 foot pounds I used broke the bolt off in my intake manifold, luckily I was able to get it out with channel locks and just replace the bolt but I was almost fucked from that

[@billsilcott9692]

Thank you for posting this! It gave me the conference to give it a go. Success!!! I only nearly blew up my car (off centered fuel injector), but it was a quick adjustment, and im good to go.

Please advise do not lower trans that guilbo plate spell check is very delicate can cause another issue. God bless my friend and thank you for video.

[@chockes1]

Thanks for all your videos Man is a big help !!!

[@BathroomSecurity]

Thank you for the very informative video! You're the first channel I go to to check how to do something on my 330. I wanted to mention that at 2:58 you point out two ports for the hose to enter. The top port goes to a vacuum tank that's near the starter and controls the exhaust flappers that I think are only on the 330 models. I wouldn't know what would happen if you swapped the hoses, but just wanted to point that out.

[@utahyork3338]

I should have listened to you about the last tube for the CCV. What a bear to connect it on the lower end after the intake was installed.

Totally awesome video. Thanks for the hard work and advice. One minor criticism: You take a somewhat cavalier approach to repairing a rubber cap that fits over an unused vacuum source on the bottom of the intake manifold. I have had those get brittle, crack, and fall off, resulting in yet another source of "too-lean" error codes. Assortments of replacement rubber caps are cheap, readily available, and good insurance. But, again, great job. Thanks.😀
