Mine is a 59 reg with black housing - do you have a link for this one ?

[@sajakhtar852]

Is it same for a 130i?

[@360degrees-evolve8]

BMW Doctor I bought my 2006 BMW 325i a month ago and is making the same whistling noise and giving me code P00 12, P00 15. I called BMW services and they said that the ccv was replaced a year ago with the previous owner... I doubt it was done cause is making that Same whistling noise. Therefore I will be replacing the CCV but do I have to replace the valve cover aswell? I replaced the valve cover gasket a few weeks ago.

[@HAL-1984]

dude how many times did you call it a PCB or am I just losing my shit here?

[@scotthanks6937]

How good is this one really?. Got a couple of very small leaks, think partly down to the RCG, so want to do the CCV first, just incase, as if that’s playing up it might bugger new RCG.

Great video. Keep it up Doc! This was one of the best videos that explains not only the repair, but the cause.

[@moebeing1190]

Can you write what you understand about it ? I don't think my CCV is plugged. I'm doing a bad starter, and then I see a significant little puddle of oil on the block, next to the starter. The CCV doesn't show signs of being plugged.

[@Gripen85]

Did this job yesterday on my 2006 e61 530i with aluminium cover like in the video but with 3 stage manifold. The oil separator was completely clogged up like in this video and while being really careful return hose and the breather hose both broke off completely, that's how brittle and hard this stuff becomes so indeed replace them all. Honestly, the hardest part was removing the two screws that hold the bracket on... thanks for making this video we used it! :)

[@FasterandFunnier]

Great video, putting mine back together today, how did you connect the lower CCV hose that runs to the oil pan? Did you connect it from underneath, by removing the metal cover? Or from up top, I cannot get it connected, maybe I am not positioning the intake just right, or there is a method I have not seen?

[@alexcontreras3416]

Great video! So I have an n52 and I got some slight white smoke coming from the intake manifold, I wonder if that’s from the CCV going bad? I did see oil on the side of the block as well.

Hello. Loving the Vids! I have a e90 bmw 318i. It is blowing out smoke on start up and acceleration from stopped at traffic lights. So either pcv+hoses or stem seals. Right? Any way to check which? Also, if I change pcv+hoses, how long will it still smoke afterwards? Will it smoke afterwards, at what point should I move on to stem seals as the issue? Thank you Dr!

Good man at least you done it and shows it’s all correct

[@VictorRamirez-rg4pg]

Did your intake manifold have oil inside too? What were your symptoms before replacing?

[@kurticus117]

Victor Ramirez yea my intake manifold had oil inside of it and when i would put it into reverse pr drive from idle the rpm would act like it was going to stall. but when driving it would go away

[@gytucci]

Does the old oil return hose (with yellow connector) had a check valve in it? Only few places I found about it people say that old hoses had valves in them with part number 11157527570. But the new ones with 11157567801 are just straight pipes. So the problem is when the ccv valve are new it's kind of ok, but eventually it starts sucking the oil from the pan.

[@davybaxter5808]

Hi Dean I've got an n53 blip the throttle and back to idle you get a noise like its sucking the ccv valve in , rough idle etc till you blip it again and it releases. I'm replacing the rocker cover. Should I be looking anywhere else for a cause?

I have a 2006 330i and had to get a starter replacement. I was told that some little pipe or something broke on the intake manifold when removing it. Now that the shop has given me my car back the car doesn't seem to have anywhere near the power that it had. Does there have to be any tuning again?

[@dawids90999]

What about 3rd hose for ccv/PCV that you have not installed while being on bench with whole intake. Do you skip that hose?

[@brightsidesuicide]

what about top hose which goes to valve cover? Did you put it on after you install intake?

[@iceKING860]

hey doc...ive recently bought a 3series and am doing a breather valve change. after my manifold removal, i noticed oil residue in the throttle body. i have the plastic valve cover 52. do i have to scrap my valve cover all together, since the ccv is in the cover?

[@punniemi]

Just a question: in the N52 engine there are both PCV and CCV? My engine has black valve cover with PCV incorporated.

[@BLACKCHEDDA5294]

Will this make your oil light come on saying low oil after replacing oil level sensor and oil pressure switch I also replaced my hpfp and still getting a code for that

[@rubennimma1]

Great vid mate. I am planning to do this job myself. I was wondering, I did not saw you put second (back) CCV hose, so the hose going next to the firewall. I saw it neither on the bench. Did you do it afterwards? Keep up the good work!

[@aaronmcelhinney1436]

I’m having trouble getting the air intake connected to the throttle body. Any tips? I tried putting it on before the TB, but that was in the way of the bottom bolts. The first intake boot (between the air box & TB) pushes against the metal near the inner fender, which is keeping me from getting it on square. Even on the bench, it was a struggle to get it I. The TB far enough that the clamp didn’t push it off the TB when tightened. Any tips???

[@bretthouslop5461]

Is it the case that once fixed (providing it was the issue to begin with) that any old oil in the system will gradually get burned off? Or should the manifold be cleaned and something added to the fuel system also?

[@dannypagan9306]

Great vid… What year e60 is this? I have a 08 and I believe my ccv is attached to valve cover…is that correct?

Luckily I had a new one to put on, decided to snap it just so i could get it off, my thumbs were numb. Thanks so much for your video on this, helped me heaps working through it. Does it matter what order the plugs go in? Forgot which one was which on the bottom two, as mine seem to fit in either or. Cheers!

[@Magic4599]

I put them back in the same way. It's good. Did you guess ? Is it good ? The last hose behind the valve cover took a ton of pressure. And then I heard a click.

[@paulgilliland2992]

Good advice here Dean.Cleaning ICV might work for a bit but when it doesn't you are back to square 1.

[@BMWDoctor]

Cleaning the inlet control valve ???? I cleaned it after changing ccv I wouldn’t clean it for no other reason if a car is rough idling it’s not ever the idle control valve usually other problems espically on the n52 engine

[@lordvader3538]

Could you run a catch can out of the pcv hose and let it vent to atmosphere, then plug up the intake manifold? Tired of fiddling with the garbage pcv system

Is it safe to install Catch Can instead the CCV on N52B25 engine, the thing is that my engine is burning 1l of oil on like 300 miles?

[@blueicejunior4327]

Hi. I have an E60 N52 258hp 2006 for 1 year in Portugal. (because there is expensive gasoline, I put the Liquid LPG system and I am very satisfied), I bought it with about 78000miles and at the moment it is with 90000miles. I think the car is drinking a little too much oil and will probably be from the ccv no? I have already changed some of the chronic problems of oil, and I think it is the only one missing and the most logical. Continue with the excellent videos and I hope for answers. Thanks

we are two, well im kinda considering a turbo mod, deadline is next spring ;) seriously replace all the plastic hoses that are part of the "oil fumes to intake" system. they are weak. and looks like starting with a new breather valve is a must, and might as well change your starter as well, i changed mine not long ago.

Thanks for the video. It is pretty simple actually but I am stuck at the moment. The hose that connects to the crankcase is not cooperating. The one from the CCV down and has yellow clips at the end. It goes on a long way but there is a ring around the metal pipe. Is this just a stop or does the clip latch onto that? I am pushing really hard and I cannot get it over the ring. The hose pushes on pretty far but then not over the ring. I can pull it back off fairly easily.

I have the same at the moment. How did you solved it?

[@marcoharskamp6089]

I have solved this. All the new parts ordered new en original bmw only this hose was from febi (due to delivery problems at bmw). The febi hose was not fitting very well, so I ordered a new one at bmw. The BMW hose fits perfect.

Even got MAF max value codes so I replaced that as well (VDO) but didn't help. Guess theres several issues luring. Thanks for your advice mate 👍

[@BMWDoctor]

my friend do no buy non genuine at all the only people that make them are china does not matter new or second hand they do not perform at the speed of the opening and closing that Bmw has the due set too you need Bmw ones you cannot skimp out on these cars Bmw made these so you cannot use cheaper parts trust me your asking my advise go and buy genuine Bmw parts NOT SECOND HAND either I paid just over £200 for mine and Ive had no problems at all for 6 months straight I wouldn't dare use cheap again @@steifan

Hey doc Dean! You're the best! I AM a female with a 2008 BMW 328i and living in Atlanta, Georgia in the USA and my car started going into limp mode and rough idling to not starting, in March 2020 so I got valve cover gasket, sparks plug, oxygen sensor, oil filter housing gasket, eccentric shaft sensor, air injection hose, breather hose and three months later my car went back into limp mode, rough idling, engine shaking while warming up. Got vehicle towed to European Auto Care and they now diagnose saying I have catalytic converter codes and EAC sensor communication codes and it due to ENGINE DME/DDE which shows a lot of codes (2ADB, 29F5, 29F4, 2A17 2D29, 2D2A) and told me catalytic converters change and that first resolve the rough idling, no more limp mode and engine should not shake?? NEED YOUR HELP ASAP AND PLEASE

honestly if you don't have emissions testing just go hatless with a tune.

@BMW Doctor There is a rattle inside my intake and some oil too. I figure the oil is from the clogged ccv but what about the intake manifold should if have something inside that moves around in there?

[@BMWDoctor]

that will probably be your disa valve flap has fallen off inside your intake manifold

[@VictorRamirez-rg4pg]

BMW Doctor what should I do about it? A small stick fell out but i cant get that rattle thing inside out somehow Any advice?

[@DusttwoDust]

@@VictorRamirez-rg4pg I'd like to know as well. Exact same thing happend to me.

[@VictorRamirez-rg4pg]

bUMi7 It was the disa valve. It was broken and the middle stick fell into the intake. I replaced both the disa valve and ccv but I have a bad misfire that shakes all the way to the bck of my exhaust . then Idk whats the problem now

I have a 2012 e92 328i. When the car is cold at lowspeeds, or at a stop, when I turn the wheel more than 180 degrees in either direction I can hear and feel something grinding and it sounds like it's coming from my dash. Also car has fairly low miles at 64k runs funny when first started and for about a minute after. Its not throwing any codes, good fresh oil, dont see anything unusual.

Hello, my N52 is drinking oil and it seems to be from the CCV. I've watched your video, is it mandatory to replace also the hoses? Are they reusable? My idea was taking them off, and cleaning them with petrol until fullly unclogged. Thanks mate!!!

[@BMWDoctor]

No chance buddy replace them because the moment you remove them you will break them removing them anyway trust me as they seize on so get new hoses otherwise you will be screwed don’t even think of attempting to replace it without the hose as then you will not be able to start the car I guarantee the hoses will break or the clips

Hello if i buy a 528i US and want to get a 258hp like EU version.what should i do ?

[@Jarequis2]

Any tips for getting on that oil return hose im currently struggling to get it back onto the pipe that goes to the oil sump

[@Jimbobfyrkant]

Hi! How did you do? I have the same struggle here! Should I just press it on, or should I also press the tabs?

[@philippe5249]

@@Jimbobfyrkant Hi how did you do? I'm trying to connect the sump side first, then to the oil separator. But it's the same issue, too tight fit
