If you are car is burning oil the crankcase ventilation valve (CCV) may have gone bad. The CCV recirculates gases from the engine back into the intake while draining the oil back into the oil pan. This can go bad and cause vacuum issues pulling oil into intake manifold and burning oil in your engine. I thought my CCV was bad even though my tests showed it was fine. I think it may have been still good but I wanted to double check this was not the issue. Hope you enjoy the tutorial! If any of the info in the video was helpful, consider dropping a LIKE!
Backstory: My BMW 325i n52 engine was burning oil at 1L/1000kms and getting worse so this is one of the videos in my KZbin series where we investigate how to fix our oil burning issues. If you're interested in checking out my other videos and consider subscribing to follow along!

wow! THANK YOU! after watching at least 20 different videos on removing the intake manifold and replacing the hoses AND buying cheap after market hoses (sorry but im broke and it needed to be fixed asap) i too discovered that the o rings did not fit! this is THE only video i found that addresses that! i went and bought an assorted o ring kit (metric) at HF and replaced them. i, like you am hoping that doesn't come back and bite me! i love my car (06 325i E90 N52) but EVERYFREKINGTIME the tools come out its a battle of wits between two really hard-headed germans (lineage)! thanks to you, i am going back to finish without wondering if i am doing this correctly! love you for this! thanks again! @Build&Drive

[@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? 2006 E90 325XI

[@buildanddrive]

There's a few ways you can attach it. I attach it at the bottom first, then put the intake in position and reach into the intake (standing from the front of the engine) and attach it to the ccv. It takes 2 hands and a bit of luck

Hey man, thanks for the in-depth video. Did you have to buy all those parts separately, or is there a kit? I have an 07 328xi with a N51 engine and I'm struggling to find a kit for it. Looking forward to tackling this exact job on my vehicle with the help of your video. Thanks again, and take care.

[@buildanddrive]

I bought a China eBay kit for 80$. Lower CCV hose didn't really fit... So I would go BMW or OEM Replacement next time at least for the lower hose. You kinda roll the dice with these kits.

You can fit the two O rings by removing the yellow part out and then putting it back again

[@buildanddrive]

But when I tried to fit the lower hose onto the oil pan, it wouldn't fit at all. Not sure why but probably bad by design.

[@thejokerking952]

Good video now I found what I am looking for but still need help please

[@cleanthegreen]

Hey buddy I kinda have the same issue but without the oil burning. The issue of rough idling at startup but not during cold startup meaning when I’ve driven a bit, parked and came back to start again, that’s when the rough idling manifests and after 10/15 secs it normalises. I thought it would be the ccv too but i also have normal suction. I omce thought it was the vanos solenoids and check valves but when I cleaned them, the problew was less but was still there

[@buildanddrive]

Try to do a vacuum leak test on the engine. That was the issue with my car. Check it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWa2k61uZp2MjKs

Could be the iac valve

Yo so I just got a letter from bmw about this now my car had all these issues burned oil super fast and the pcv definitely went car shut off I hope this recall for it will fix my issues and bmw will take care of it what do you think? And yea my car was super dry lucky I bought a infinity but still got the poor bmw sitting outside waiting to come back alive 😂☝️

[@xanderkhan]

From that startup screeching sound, it sounded you had an alternator's pulley bearing issue going on, or a drive belt one.

[@buildanddrive]

Yes, the serpentine belt melted one of the ribs at the racetrack. But it still works fine. Lol

[@m.b.smoshitoa8325]

Hi friend, I watched your video because I think it can help me. I own BMW E46 when idling and I take out dip stick the oil comes out . And even the exhaust pipe has oil. And it smokes badly. I dismantled the engine thinking it is worn rings, I inspected them but to me they don't look to be the root cause. Do you think it can be ccv Moshitoa south Africa

[@buildanddrive]

Yes, try the CCV first.

[@CewlioCenter]

Hey so my n52 runs rough when I start as well. I had a bouncy rpm needle at idle and my fix was luckily simple. Jiffy lube didn’t replace the little plastic jig that sits inside the oil filter. On another note though, when you say rough idle on start what do you mean? Mine doesn’t have a super jumpy rpm needle, but the car kind of shakes and you can feel the engine loping almost. Do you think doing the same change will fix the issue?

[@buildanddrive]

The rough idle feels like an air leak in the intake system. The engine revs up a bit above idle (1200rpm) and then comes back down. Like you describe, a bouncy idle. I would first smoke test the intake and engine to see where the air leak is. See if that fixes the problem. Then swap the CCV.

[@fastlanerc5551]

I finally replaced my pcv valve and it took me 3 hours, man o man was it a pain because some of the hoses were really stuck

[@buildanddrive]

Those hoses are the worst. I normally am bleeding by the end of it all

Be sure to check the DISA valves when the manifold is off. My inner one had failed, it wasn't initially throwing a code so seemed OK.

[@buildanddrive]

Yeah, I replaced my inner one and then the outer one went bad recently. I will change it out and make a video on how to double check if it's bad.

[@chadriddle3517]

Yes make a video on how to tell if they are bad please . I believe my inner one is bad

[@buildanddrive]

Yep, I am planning on it this week. You use ista to test each disa valve with the computer and try to operate the flap manually. You can watch the valve open and close and normally when it's bad, the motor makes a bad grinding noise and it doesnt open.

I had the same problem at 20:28 with the o-rings not seating, it's infuriating. Rein part. Eventually got it to seat with both the o-rings but was sceptical at the time. Checking back after a couple months, it's leaking... Not happy. See from another comment yours eventually leaked too. Did you go genuine for the new hose? Was the design any different? Thanks

[@buildanddrive]

The BMW part fits fine. There is like 1mm difference in the hose dimension, probably due to bad plastic moulding. Mine leaked after a year 😔

[@etienlemut1777]

1:12 to 1:18 ... that tick tick tick noise when you lift the oil cap is it normal??? did the noise went away once you changed the CCV? Or did the noise remain even after you changrd the CCV and still made tick tick tick when you lift the oil cap with the brand new CCV?

[@buildanddrive]

This is normal

[@byronargueta9587]

I have a 2009 328 with N51 engine and it blows white smoke. The oil level slowly consume probably every 1000 mile I would need 1 qt. If I floor the gas pedal I get a white 💨. Does the N51 come with a CCVunder intake and pvc on the valve cover? Would I have replace both? I new to BMW and trying to fix my first E90. The car drive good if I keep it light in the gas pedal and not travel more than 5 miles distance with it.

[@buildanddrive]

If you have the magnesium valve cover, yes, it's under the intake. If you have the plastic valve cover, then no, it's part of the valve cover

Do I need the lock to attach the bottom part of the hose or it goes in just with hand pressure

[@jafakeks9241]

It is common knowledge that N52 engines consume oil. But only the N52B25 engines are affected. The N52B30 engines are not affected. The reason for the high oil consumption is not due to a defective CCV (KGE in German) but to incorrectly placed oil drainage holes on the pistons. BMW itself also saw this and revised the pistons. I have the same engine as you, but the consumption of my engine is not as bad as yours, but still too high. So, if you want the high oil consumption to disappear, you would have to replace all pistons with new, reworked pistons. Here in Germany such an action would cost around 3000-4000 euros. Greetings.

[@buildanddrive]

Danke. I rebuilt the engine in my garage 💪🏽. Consumption improved but I didn't know about the pistons until after lol 😂

My one is 530i 2007 ,when I remove my intake there was a too much oil inside. Replace pcv valve hoses. Valve cover gasket. But week ago i have same problem start smoke again ..blue silver black smoke. The intake was full of oil. What to do next any idea?

[@buildanddrive]

Smoke test your engine first to check there are air leaks anywhere. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWa2k61uZp2MjKs then it could be valve stem seals

[@waynester71]

I ‘think’ I’m having an issue with my CCV/PCV on my 84k mile E63 630i as a few days ago when I accelerated, it suddenly blew loads of smoke! I have only been using the car for really short journeys unfortunately.. I do try to give it a longer run sometimes, but generally..it’s to the gym & back, about 1.5 miles.. which is not even enough to get the oil temp gauge to move. The smoke cleared with a long run..and drove fine, no smoke. And today, it was driving fine, but when I accelerated using the kick down and…..loads of smoke! It’s going into a BM Specialist tomorrow to confirm and have its annual service.

[@buildanddrive]

Sounds like the CCV. If you replace this and it still has smoke on acceleration, it can be the pistons rings

[@waynester71]

@@buildanddrive Agreed, I’m hoping it’ll be obviously the CCV with oil in the intake etc.. The car runs fine, has never used oil, and has zero smoke when driving normal. It has only done the huge smoke plume twice, and always cleared afterwards. I know short journeys can cause these sort of issues.. so, here’s hoping it’s just the crankcase vent valve 🤞🏼 Thanks for the reply 👍🏼

[@iamurnamann8662]

That’s not the CCV. Based on that screech during startup, you have a vacuum leak, thus the rough idle. I’d say it’s your eccentric shaft actuator gasket. I had the same exact problem a month ago. Did you check coils 3 and 4 for surrounding oil?

Yes, there is always oil around that spot. Good observation. I eventually smoked tested the engine and found the vanos seals and disa valve was leaking air. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWa2k61uZp2MjKssi=jrtl8Q2JvhEheOdY

You can unbolt the oil drain from the oil pan and then remove it

Hello, my car is a 2008 528i bmw and I need buy a crankcase vent and I can't find it. Could you tell me where I can get it? Thank you

[@buildanddrive]

I believe your is incorporated into the valve cover. You can replace the entire valve cover (BMW part number: 11127552281 - Tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHXPd36lZ51jb6s) or just replace the CCV. Watch here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2q0k4GFrsaSi8U - search on ebay: "crankcase breather valve 5-series"

How long should the job takes

[@buildanddrive]

For your first time, maybe 4 hours?

[@Omar-jt2bw]

These engines runs hot burning oil is normal if its in the 2000 mile range, no pcv catch can or rebuild can fix live with it

[@buildanddrive]

Yes, piston rings are also worn early which adds to the problem.

[@philippe5249]

So, how did you managed to reconnect the oil return hose? You cut off the hardest part

[@buildanddrive]

Yeah, I struggled with that for a while. Either connect the lower hose to the CCV and put the intake on, then from the wheel well reach in and try to attach it. Or attach it first at the bottom oil pan and then as you put the intake on, you have to push the intake onto the hose itself... It's like a dance and it's not each.

[@philippe5249]

@@buildanddrive I finally got it. I noticed that I didn't put the valve cover hose the right way, so I couldn't lower the intake enough to connect the oil return hose. So i removed the intake, put everything right, then I could lower the back end of the intake deep like you showed on the video. I sprayed the hose tip with silicon grease and I managed to insert it finally.

[@yahtadi5152]

Silly question. Can this CCV be deleted?

[@buildanddrive]

Sort of. With the black valve cover you can install a catch can but with the magnesium one, I think it's a bit more difficult

[@yahtadi5152]

@@buildanddrive magnessium one? What you mean? I do know that N52/53 blocks were magnessium, just doesn't get on why not with oil catch cwn. Enlighten me please

[@mty3606]

lol the intake lose wouldve caused a rough idle. my 07 n52 has what i thought was the ccv valve built into the valve cover, mine was plastic. Replaced that and it fixed the rough idle, but now im getting a bmw pcv heater valve recall from bmw telling me to come in so they can fix it for free

[@buildanddrive]

I did a smoke test on the engine and found a few leaks actually. One was the disa valve on the intake and one from the vanos rubber o-rings as well. My car would have a brief bad idle and I think this also caused issues with the CCV going bad. Make sure your engine is sealed up! kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWa2k61uZp2MjKs

[@mty3606]

@@buildanddrive ya I had bought some vanos from a 3rd party vendor on eBay or some shit. Tried them out but they didn’t work that great ended up just using the seals and doubled them up with the original seal fixed it. Gotta do knock sensors now. Always a repair every 6k I swear lol

[@buildanddrive]

Yes, things tend to fail progressively as time goes on. One thing, then another, then another. Lol. If you don't know how to fix it yourself, just sell the car because it isn't worth the money to spend at the mechanic

[@Weljefedk]

How much is the part

[@buildanddrive]

About 80$

BMW hate the home mechanic, I have done this job a few times you need baby sized hands with the strength of Hercules. Worth noting that these hoses become very brittle and also perish so jobs best done when air temperature isn't freezing.

[@buildanddrive]

Very true. I developed a way to use long needle nose pliers, in the perfect orientation to grab the hoses. They are actually impossible otherwise. The first time I just cut them off lol

[@Fredrikbjerk]

@@buildanddrive did it yesterday got them all of, and when having the intake out i broke one of the hoses😂

[@jaspermotorsport]

We did this today. What a royal pain in the ass. We had to take it apart maybe 3 or 4 times

[@buildanddrive]

I have done this repair once a year for the last 4 years because something always leaks or breaks 🤦🏼‍♂️.

[@buildanddrive]

It's THE WORST repair on this car. And I've rebuilt the entire engine 😂😂😂😂👌🏼

[@raqb28q89]

Apparently you don't know what you're doing dude you have to hook the oil tube first then hook the other side to the intake it's a little bit tricky but you're find out, little patient.

Don't say he don't know what he is doing cause he does know his shit plus he a dam good mechanic look at his other video of him doing more engine work

These hoses are a nightmare to connect, horrible job. I'd have gone for a catch can if I'd known how bad a job it is. Silicon spray on the connectors helps.
