HOW TO TEST BMW PURGE VALVE TANK BREATHER VALVE

HOW TO TEST BMW PURGE VALVE TANK BREATHER VALVE
► Our Website: mechaniclifestyle.com
Hey guys, in this video we will show you how you can test a BMW purge valve also known as tank breather valve. If you have a code such as P0444 it relates to purge valve; However, it could be a different reason as well. In this video we will demonstrate how to test your purge valve to make sure that you do not waste money on a new one. We demonstrated the test on a BMW e65 e66 and BMW e46. The e46 has a bad purge valve as you can see because of the high numbers. It should work for BMW e60 e61 e83 and more.

[@chuckadam9046]

Love the videos keep it up! Mine had good 👌 reading from the meter but was causing cel not to mention crappy performance caused from such a small part!

[@blowout396]

Thanks... easy way to check if the solenoid valve is defective. Appreciate the video!

[@tareqzakarneh221]

good job you saved me the time of the process

[@tonychamoun2970]

Nice and clear 👌 thanks

[@MrPitatom]

Hi guys, love these great videos. Can you do a video on how to remove the washer bottle out of a 2007 E70 X5?

[@ericleef247]

Very helpful video I have P 0444 code and will test first then buy another or pick a part

[@zohaibmalik5940]

very nice

[@NycForgiato]

You put it the Digital Multimeter in 200. But what 200? I see theres two (200) on my Digital Multimeter just like yours.. Which one do I use?

[@simpsonsground]

Great advice lads, thank you sorted mine out, 79 quid to buy at BMW stealership

[@Kerring]

Thank you! Hope it's no PITA to remove.

[@battlehrfred]

Great Video 100--100 I have a Question .mine tested today at 27.7 ohms... so does this mean it is working fine?? i do have a code 3164 come up ,which means >>>>>>"fuel tank ventilation system 2nd inlet point Malfunction,evaportion purge valve breather . I also has many codes after the vehicles computer stored this #3164 code, Which is all pretaining to multiple cylinders misfiring... the thing also notice was that when the vehicle was during a"cold startup" it would "stumble" for 5-6 seconds and i also noticed it is "Running Rich" because of the black tailpipe tips look sooty , the strange thing is also, i have to warm this vehicle up for about 10 minutes on "cold morning startup" before i can drive it,If i drive it while it is still cold it would fell like misfiring, but when warmed up no problem with this feel of misfiring would the vent valve cause this problem ty sir

[@krasenvasilev2788]

1:20 mine was showing 24.1 when i measure it, is that good or above 27/29 still mean is bad purch valve?

[@thermonuclearwarfare]

my purge valve is the all metal type for BMW e46 and resistance measured at 26 olms.

[@ctownsoul]

Any ideas on P0441?

[@Jutubowicz1]

Is this valve normally open or normally closed?

[@MrBakakeng]

Hi!. Mine is reading 32 is it bad?

[@cincomorales]

Great video would it be nice if you show where in the e60 was located

[@warboyrb]

it's right near the throttle body, on the front of the engine.

[@rollingtreads8201]

Hey nice video been looking for something like this for a while. I just checked my purge valve bmw 2013 X1 reads 26.3 ohms what you think good or no good?

[@battlehrfred]

Hi,Rolling Treads,, i noticed you say your vehicle is reading 26.3 ohms, did you have to replace the valve?? ,although yours showed good ohms reading? mine tested today at 27.7 ohms... so does this mean it is working fine?? i do have a code 3164 come up ,which means >>>>>>"fuel tank ventilation system 2nd inlet point Malfunction,evaportion purge valve breather . I also has many codes after the vehicles computer stored this #3164 code, Which is all pretaining to multiple cylinders misfiring... the thing i notices was that when the vehicle was "cold startup" it would "stumble" and i also noticed it is "Running Rich" because of the black tailpipe tips look sooty , the thing is also, i have to warm this vehicle up for about 10 minutes on "cold morning startup" before i can drive it, would the vent valve cause this problem ...wondering??,,, ty for your thoughts.

[@rollingtreads8201]

@@battlehrfred Hi we never got around to fixing that issue sold the car before we could figure out what it was. Replaced that valve problem was still there.

[@battlehrfred]

@@rollingtreads8201 .o ok so i guess we/you will never know. lol.Well I guess I will have to figure it out rather than spending my time on Utube ?? ty lolol

[@rajahashim1815]

Is tank vantilating valve the same thing? Bcz my mechanic told me to replace this thing along crank sensor.. my engine check light is on

[@davidhall3747]

raja hashim The Charcoal Canister has a vent valve on it- that is open when the Engine is off. When the Engine is on- the Charcole Canister vent valve should be closed. The Purge valve is opened when the Engine is on. It opens to allow Fuel vapors to be drawn from the Charcoal Canister into the Intake Manifold to be burned off. The Purge Valve and Vent valve are two different components.

[@JiGS-Family12_26]

Can it cause misfires

[@spikey9azn6]

My 2013 328i is at 26 ohms is that bad?

[@rickhaley2700]

Hey guys I own a 2003 BMW 745Li and currently I'm getting a misfire code p 0363 multiple misfire code (system lean and fuel shut off to bank 1) along with the p1347,49 codes that go with it for each cylinder. I smell fuel when I start it up. I just changed the fuel filter under the driver side and my ccvs. I thought it might of been a vacuum leak somewhere but when I lift the oil cap while she's started I have no signs of suction..any ideas

[@pcicraftsman8472]

Oh God I feel so sorry for you. Dude you literally have the most unbelievably unreliable problematic car that you can possibly have. That car is gonna suck your blood dry to the bone. There is no fixing that car even if you replace every single part it will never be enough. Sorry for the bad news. Get rid of it before it gets rid of you.

[@onesikm3]

@@pcicraftsman8472😂 honest words 💀

[@suhaibchobi]

hi guys , can you tell me how the computer send the signal to the valve to open ? I mean how the computer knows that it need to be opened ? sensor or something ? thanks

[@davidhall3747]

Suhaib 3D Club The Purge valve should only open when the Engine is running. It opens to draw Gasoline vapors that are stored in the Charcoal Canister. Its part of the Evap system. The Gasoline vapors are then burned off in the combustion process.

[@wilsonrodriguez296]

hello i am getting code P0456 in my bmw x3 2016 i replaced the gas cap and canister purge valve and i still getting the P0456 code what do you think should i check next? Thanks

[@Fbof10]

I’m getting same code did you fix it ?

[@wilsonrodriguez296]

not yet :( @@Fbof10

[@MultiSpoonkiller]

Stupid question, but my knowledge says there should be 2 wires going to the connector but my mine only has one is that normal or have I found the fault already 😂

[@WunKoolKat]

Mine is at 25.2

[@joelane4670]

I have a po440.replace breather vent vavle but code didn't go away..any thoughts?? Thanks guys.

[@leathaface510]

Maybe it's your charcoal canister the pump wouldn't turn on in my 2001 740i. Replaced it reset the code and it been off since

[@johnlira3316]

Symptoms of bad valve

[@jotness07]

Mine is reading 35... is that good or no?

[@fdovi]

I am reading around 39 and am also curious if this indicates a bad solenoid.

[@antol.8464]

Mine is 33 ... it s ok???

[@Personal_CMA]

No its not buy a new one or get it from the junkyard like me

[@chernass]

hi i have 26.1 is it ok or bad ?

[@meer-cha4985]

I have same 26.0-26.1, was it bad for you? Did you replace it?

[@AbishaiMarkGundy]

@@meer-cha4985 I had 26.8, was yours good or bad?

[@meer-cha4985]

Abishai Mark Gundy mine was bad, replaced it and in 3k miles there are no codes!!

[@AbishaiMarkGundy]

@@meer-cha4985 Thank you! Interestingly, I didn't get a code. I only suspected it because of long crank and smell of fuel. The valve seems to be stuck shut, won't open when voltage is running through it.

[@meer-cha4985]

Abishai Mark Gundy my old one was opening and closing properly and it still threw a code... So I don't know either 😹

[@kratos9174]

test it Does not read any ting at all, not ohms not jumping nothing Is a bad purge valve p0444, code
