I am a retired automobile mechanical engineer. I worked in engine for 18 years. What seems to be missing here is that you have ignored the function of the common PCV valve found on every modern vehicle. The normal PCV valve is a very simple inexpensive valve on most cars, and does not include a diaphragm that can rupture, like on this BMW. What it does is restrict air flow from the crankcase at idle, but allow enough to clear the blowby gases without reducing the vacuum level too much. During acceleration, when the the intake vacuum is low, it opens up more to allow the higher blowby gases to be fed into the intake manifold. If there is a backfire on decel, the PCV valve closes. What might be a smarter modification to this BMW vehicle would be your same fix, but include an inexpensive normal PCV valve in series with your vacuum line to the intake manifold.
But remember. a ordinary pcv has to be mounted vertical and will not function laying down, that is why I don't use them , a custom T hose would be needed
I'm sure you can figure out how to get the proper orientation on the PCV valve, you are a smart guy.
He is at pick n pull but i do feal for the idiots that do it for real
@@NathansBMWWorkshop I know this is an old video and maybe you've figured it or maybe not... PCV valves are made for both vertical and horizontal locations. The valve is also spring loaded so it should close no matter which position. Also, all PCV valves need (cleaned)serviced or replaced. I only mention that because I've seen other people's videos where they don't mention that PCV's are a consumable part, that is they need replaced every 50,000 or so.
@@anoint426hemi6 in this video can I do what he says and there will be no check engine light, I want to do this and it looks simple
Nathan, Thanks for the video support and sharing the knowledge so that normal owners can understand BMW design faults. These cars are very expensive both to purchase and fix. There are trolls in every website plz ignore the ignorant and continue to help with your well though out fixes.
Evan it really isnt that bad, i spent a couple hours doing the video but in real time i can do it in about 35 minutes, if im not messing with the camera every few minutes.
Nathan's BMW Workshop what’s the purpose of doing this? I have a 2003x5 m54e53 3.0 and lots of vacuum leaks and a couple oil leaks, it’s got 200k and nothing! Has ever been done to it. WHERE TO START WITH IT ALL???
Jerry Harriman start with a valve cover change. Check yur oil pan for leaks. Refresh your coolant system. Chase the vacuum leaks. Oil/ filter change. Check belts.
Hello . Good video. Btw do you know the hose name at 17:35 when you point at it . I was needing to order one.
@@jerryharriman1160 you can try to smoke test first see if you can pinpoint everything down I too have 202000 miles of mine then I had a few codes I think it's running a little bit better but I didn't delete mine I just placed another one in it
Redinstrumental753 Hey mate, I know you asked 7 months ago and I hope you’ve replaced it. If not, the part number is 11611432559. It’s just a vent pipe according RealOEM.
Great video, but you mentioned right at the end about the small vacuum line that goes up to the fuel rail but you didn't mention what you do with that when doing the ccv delete. I would appreciate any comments regarding this.
So for the bmw' s that do have the vacuum line going to the fuel rail, do you cap that line at the fuel rail as well?
Bro absolutely the best explanation,thanks for your time and help
Great video. Could you just cap the six holes if you were not worried about stock look?
Is the best solution a catch can? Then back into the inlet? I heard people venting it to the atmosphere but causing engine issues
@NathanDIYGarage Can I delete or bypass my ccv and/osv? My M62TU keeps getting oil in the intake manifold and eventually the combustion chamber. And I get misfire with fuel cuts on all cylinders. I remove the intake manifold, clean out the oil, reinstall it. The car runs perfect for about 300 miles. Then the misfires return. Any suggestions? Video links? Parts list? I have a 2001 740iL
I have a 2002 BMW 530i with the plug from the throttle in the same direction as the one in this video. My CCV also has the vacuum port to the fuel rail plugged off. The fuel pressure regulator is on directly on the fuel filter, that's why the fuel filter cost $75 instead of $20. Anyways I got the car for free so I can't complain. It was leaking badly from the oil seal that seals the oil filter housing to the engine block. I'm replacing everything under there while I'm in there and going to delete the CCV system taking it out completely. I will go the catch can route, because it just makes sense to help keep everything clean. I'm just not sure on if to block off the whole on the oil tip stick or stick a old V8 valve cover style filter on there. I don't want to smell any oil at stop lights since my wife will be using it as her daily. I would appreciate your advice on that specifically and any other suggestions you might have recently come up with that were not discussed here already. I also will be adding a wire extension from the starter signal wire so it will be easier to test the starter in future when needed. I'm will use AMSOIL 5W-40 EURO oil with the WIX XP oil filter. BMW coolant with mixed with Kangen water and DEX 3 ATF for my power steering. I loved your videos I subscribed and will be following your from now on. My next project is going to be replacing the automatic transmission pan and fluid. It would be nice to have you do a video on that next please. BMW call it a lifetime fluid but that's bullshit and you know it. I know that the filter is built into the pan, so you have to buy a whole new pan. I just don't know how to refill it. Wife just gave me a plate of food, got to go now. Your awesome bro keep up the good work. Call me if you would rather chat, I'm old school and hate typing :))

+Daniel Jose Matamoros Hello you will have to block off the oil dipstick tube if you install the catch can because if you do not you will have a huge vacuum leak, on your car the trans filter is not built into the pan since they didnt start that until 2004 on the 5 series, for sure let me know if you have any other questions and i really appreciate you watching the videos.
+Nathan's DIY Garage Great thanks again, what's the best way to block it off and what's the auto trans refill procedure please??? :))
To block off the dipstick use a new piece of hose with a bolt and clamp it at the bolt and at the dipstick so it dont leak, this is the link to my trans fluid video,

Hi Nathan, thanks for taking the time to post these videos. They are most helpful. I did the ccv delete on my 04 e46. M54. However, my crankcase is building pressure at idle faster than the port on the back of the manifold can draw. Any ideas on how to solve this? Is pushing oil or of my valve cover gasket.
Just so you know. In the UK this will lead to an instant MOT (inspection) fail. It’s horrible from an emissions stand point and you’ll be breathing in fumes. Happy motoring
If you are in a hurry it can be "bypassed" in less time but, the old pcv will remain in the engine bay disconnected.
Nathan. 03 530 no locks no wipers....it could be needed a new gbox under passenger floor .
Please answer the question. I am following you from Iraq. Everything you do I do I have a problem with the engine and it is emitting gas, knowing that there is no problem in checking the device
, the M52 has an additional vacuum line attached to the Fuel Pressure Regulator. Has any one done a catch can on an m52? If so, how did you tie in the Fuel Pressure Regulator vacuum line
I need to find out what kind and size of filter you use on the oil dip stick tube vent. You didnt mention it, but my O ring seal leaks after doing this procedure. Im thinking its because I plugged the vent on the dip stick tube. Thank you!
Did you figure out what kind of filter?
I ended up removing the ccv system and routing a line from the valve cover port down to the ground to avoid smelling the vapors. I Sealed off the two small ports on top of the intake and put a cap on the oil return line port @ the dip stick.
6 months and probably 5 thousand miles later it seems to be runing ok. I'm no enginer- I dont know how much vacuum goes through the system but I need to know what and how much damage it might cause. # 02 E53 X5 @240k
Hi Nathan what is the easiest way to test if oil separator is bad? Take off throttle body to check if it has oil??
Great video ! Thank you so much, I was able to do it by just following your steps. :)
Ive got an E46 coupé with an m54b22 if i remove the pcv will i get any issues?
Oh and just to add the throttle body on that model is different because its the same engine thats fitted to the E46 they changed it on the later E39's
Would that stop it from emissions pass
Hmm i replaced my ccv and all hoses yesterday and now i get the chewbaka and ticking noise. I previously replaced the vcg and al gaskets of the intake where else can ther be a vacum leak?
I have no codes, the engine is just not running smooth like it shoud it has a slight vibration at iddle and also vibrates while driving
Hi did you find a solution since this time ?
Nathan I know my problem is near CCV or a backplate issue, tell me so if I hear intense rattling sounds in the back corner of my m54 intake manifold... what is that?? I bought a DISA kit, so that component is fine.THanks!
This is awesome, too bad i didnt see this vid before buying the whole new ccv vavle and hoses. I would have much rather eliminated.
Hope I are doing Oky Nathan...
I m a Namibian and I Owen a 325i 2004 model BMW...
Can u help me to get the timing set-up took kity Please... ?
At wat price and how will i get ?
do you need to hook up vacuum lines to start the car, or can you delete them as you did? I have a 97 328i
I'm glad yours is 2001 530i, because I'm going to be doing my 2001 530i, well here goes.... What part brand CCV do you recommend ?
Hi what’s the best manufacture make to get iv got a bmw e46 325i
i was thinking why do we need to put the CCV Valve hosing back in that Hard to Reach spot if were redoing it. can it be mounted on the out side by just using different hosed and clamps making Life easier for next time what your thought on this
Space - it was designed thinking it would never be replaced. Yes if you can find space its better to relocate it - bear in mind the hoses will not reach and you will need to modify both mounting brackets & hoses.
Hi, My bmw E83 crankcase vent valve went bad with pressure in engine & blow out my valve cover gasket. Do you think it could have damage any other seals?
Thanks bud, great video!
Is there any reason you couldn't just run a hose from the valve cover directly to the dipstick? If that wouldn't work you could put a T in line with a filter at a higher elevation allowing it to vent but forcing any oil back into the pan.
Nathan's DIY Garage 17:27 you say you're going put a filter on the hose coming out of the valve cover (the one by the vanos) what are you using as a filter for this? can we get an Amazon/eBay link? or if I'm buying it from Advance Auto Parts, what do I look out for?
help if possible m54. can I just block the equalizer off till my catch can comes and just leave the pcv there or not ty
You're doing a great job with all your videos Thanks!!
yes but I don't have a scanner its weird though i just put the whole intake manifold side back together and now my brake light is on theres a yellow warning sign with an arrow going around it and my eml light is on before i started the only light on was my service engine light
What year is the e46? Pre 2001?
the yellow triangle is the traction control light
regarding the replacement of the ccv & pipework
couldn't you just replace the tubing with silicone oil vacuum lines & then just use the plastic clips to attach these to any fixings etc??
as a money saver as the silicone would last longer then the plastic tubing with widely decays/falls appart after a few yrs use
+Mal Peacock Yes you can do that, the problem most of all is the diaphragm inside the ccv ruptures, the other problem is that the ccv valve housing will actually deteriorate and break in half, the best option would be for someone to relocate the valve like they have on the newer engines, i have a old valve here ill try and get a video up of what goes wrong inside of it.
I'm curious, why would I need to actually take the ccv valve out of it's mounting place? Couldn't I just cut eevrything off of it and leave it there. It would eliminate having to remove the icv and the throttle body. Or am I missing something? If I were to add a pcv where would it go?
Tony Runyon , I was wondering the same thing, just leave it bolted in and deal with the venting the oil dip stick valve cover and closing the off the intake.
Why not just replace the old one with a new one, and it will function the way it's supposed to?
mydejavooo because they are rubber diaphragms and rupture. When they do, the engine usually is destroyed with it. If you add an oil separator it’ll work better and can handle colder weather. Plus you won’t dirty your intake and valves
Nathan can you please measure the diameter ( in milimeters ) of the hose that connects to the dipstick tube please. I want to block it using a silicone blanking plug and I don't know what diameter should be.
I Actually don't block it anymore but I use a small filter
What diameter is that filter?
I believe the last one I bought is 3/8 inch
Nathan~thanks for sharing these videos , they do help a lot !!!!I have a question , Can I bypass or close these valve in 2004 x5 3.l ?Byron
the 04 x5 3.0i is still the same engine the m54 so yes you can do this
Can you run a hose from your dipstick tube up to the hose by the valve cover? Seems like that would kill 2 birds.
idk I think im gonna just put filters on the ends and see what happens
@@anthonyk Let me know how that goes!
yes. the black ring is whats broken and it's such a tiny space on the side of the door how can i fix this or is it unrepairable and where would i buy this piece.
What car exactly is it exactly? if its a e39 i have one here
I love BMW... but sometimes I just scratch my head and wonder what they were thinking.
Just some slightly better quality materials would've saved so many headaches.
Hi Nathan. What's the advantage of removing the CCV? why not just replace it if there is a leak?
+Davison They make the car unreliable because of the rubber diaphragm inside of it, i posted a video last week of installing a oil catch can in place of the ccv, that seems to be the best way to replace it.
Nathan's DIY Garage
I liked your videos, very well done.
I had a problem out of nowhere, I put a new ccv valve in last year, we went to go on a trip, and there was some smoke when we 1st started it, but that was it. didn't smoke the whole way. We went to leave and it was smoking at every light, and through some lean codes.i went to autozone, pulled the air filter, and noticed the ccv was covered in oil, the dipstick line came off, i put hose clamps on it, and it was OK for about 15 minutes, then it started smoking again, but not as bad and no lean codes. I drove it home, it was all highway, it would only smoke when i let off the gas, and accelerated again. so i kept my foot on the gas a little when we would slowdown. it didn't smoke again until we got off the highway. do you think i blew the diaphragm out of the ccv? all the hoses are good,and still hooked up. I hate to pull the ccv again, think i could do the catch can, or better off plugging therm?
thx
Stop messing around with that ccv it will cost you a engine, just run the catch can they are super cheap, and just leave the ccv in place and cut the lines, you must plug the dipstick tube with the catch can and the vacuum log lines going to the ccv
great vid nate
What is the funktion og these parts?
Hey Nathan, if I wanted to bypass the ccv but not remove it, which hoses am I installing breather filters on? Thanks!
+HarrisMotorsports904 Hello just install the breather on the hose going to the valve cover, and the hose going to the dipstick , dont forget to block off the vacuum hose going to the intake vacuum log,and the small vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator if your car has that one.
Would it be safe for me to block off the oil dipstick vacuum line or should I vent it like you recommend initially? Also, wouldn't venting it cause a vacuum leak or rough idle? I'm not looking to install a catch can.
+Michael Brissot If you are not going to install a catch can then leave it open, if you look at my newer video there is a single hose conversion that you can do also, if you just lt it all vent your car will smell like oil at a stoplight from the vapor coming out of the valve cover
+Nathan's DIY Garage Thanks for the reply! Your videos are extremely helpful. I refer to them for a lot of my work. Thanks again!
thank you i appreciate that
You need a oil catch can and a normal ccv
does this still allow the oil to be sucked up to the top half of the motor? Ive heard mixed tech reviews on pcv and ccv removal
from the research i did it is not good idea to remove ccv system... just get new parts and replace old ones and youre good to go again its like 1 hour job
Thanks for the video. I want to run e85 in my 2001 bmw 325i (M54). What special (if any) things do I need to do to successfully use e85?
+Jason Fontanoz You can just put it right a m54, it might stumble on cold start if its really cold outside.
+Nathan's DIY Garage Thank you! I will consider doin that! If its that simple, why are there companies that make these devices that will allow (I guess full functionality) e85 to run in your engine? I watched the docu "pump" and am considering purchasing the device offered from (change2e85 dot com).
That will fix the cold start problem but it will make it run safe rich and not get as good fuel economy
Would this work on a 03 e46
Hi Nathan, my car consume huge amount of oil, but there is no power loss, no oil leaks, engine runs fine, i have change the ccv but still the same problem, will this delete helps? tq
+vincent lim Prob a problem with the new ccv or dipstick vent, i highly recommend talking a look at my oil catch can video i put up a couple of days ago, its $15 and works soo much better than a ccv , it will end all of your issues
tq Nathan
+vincent lim maybe leaking at the oil filter housing
the dipstick 0-ring is more than likely the problem, i have videos of the replacement up
Hi Nathan, will you work on some diesels engines, like M47(BMW) or newer?
Hello we don't have many diesel BMW' s here at all, however if I get my hands on one I will for sure put some videos up, thanks for watching
+Nathan's DIY Garage Thanks :-)
its still not responding well to me giving it gas either
Geoffrey Taylor mass air flow sensor
17 :35 the hose you're pointing at . Do you know the name for it I need one and I don't know the name. Would be awesome
Hey mate, I know you asked 7 months ago and I hope you’ve replaced it. If not, the part number is 11611432559. It’s just a vent pipe according RealOEM
Right thurrrrr and right hurrrrr:)
ok yeah jus saw that i plugged it in but its still doin the same thing do i need to wait
If you dont have a scanner pull the battery cables and touch the leads together once unhooked
Does break cleaner damage the throttle body
no, i would seriously look at getting the $40 creator c310 scanner off ebay so you have some way of telling what is wrong, that would be my next move
Ok thank you preciate the help
Hi , I have 2001 525i and give me so much trouble!!! Rough idle on begging and in shop they told me that is cracked intake hose from maf sensor, I replace hose and than start to smoke (white one) and to misfire ??? Back to shop and they said its bad Ccv, replace that and it's still smoke and have rough idle, after 2 days car was smoking so bad, I turn of the car ,wait for 2h , start agin and everything seems normal! 10h later in traffic, car start to shake like crazy, and I got misfire on 5th and 6th cilndar, towed car home start again and runs like brand new ! Please help
When starting from cold with the radiator cap off does it blow coolant out? Could still be a cv problem also, its hard for me to say for sure without seeing the car in person
dont always think its the ccv, icv, vanos disa etc, it could be your hydraulic lifter my friend, well known issue
i did a video on that, but usually they do not cause a misfire
Nathan your videos are great but am afraid you are wrong on this occasion my friend, the well known BMW lifter issue does cause misfires from cold, i cant see how you could disagree.
I suppose it could but i have had a to of them stuck and the car ran fine but it ticked really loud and had to be replaced, especially the 4.4l cars with bad timing chain guides, they usually need a whole set
Where does the o-ring from the picture in the thumbnail go??
Throttle body seal
+Nathan's DIY Garage not the orange seal but the small black one
Lincoln Kuwabara The oil dipstick tube seal, where the dipstick meets the oil pan.
+Nathan's DIY Garage awesome thanks! Got another question. After replacing my ccv system there's a hard and loud knock and the car runs very rough. Some people say it's the disa valve but mine is in perfect running order with good deals and spring. I can recheck that all the hoses are tightly connected but other than that what can cause this?
Lincoln Kuwabara It could be the disa really hard to say, i did a video awhile back on how to check the disa to see if its bad.
Does this make the vehicle less reliable?
not really, the stock ccv system isnt a very good design in the first place especially if u live in a cold environment
sadvillainy -live in the south USA don’t know cold weather
Coty Luckett okay then u should only install a catch can if you’re burning oil a lot. otherwise just replace your old ccv hoses for new ones because you’re most likely getting some vacuum leaks from them
Will it still pass emissions though ?
+Joseph Scorese Hello it should but i do not have emissions where i live so i am not 100% on that
how do they touch because same codes popped back up
If you did the reset and the codes are still there then the problem is still there, is the car hard to start?
No starts up right away. Do you think i might have damaged something
Im about to graduate school and i still cant fix a car this is embarrassing and discouraging
lol well dont feel bad most bmw shops cant fix them either, did you plug in the cam sensor and the crank sensor?
Yeah i did i jus dont know what to do im about to check spark plugs and coils maybe clean my connectors someone on youtube said my oil pressure sensor at the bottom of oil pan could make my car act up to i really dont know im going to look up that scan tool though you told me about hopefully it can help me narrow down the problem i really need my car. I feel like i should've did a better job on buying this car but it was a bmw and i really wanted one and it was 1800 with a bad steering pump and strut mounts so they daid so far i fixed the steering pump, oil pan gasket cam position sensor, evap solenoid, strut mounts, valve cover gasket, cylinder 5 and 6 are misfiring, i need to change my oil pressure sensor, i fixed the coolant leak i think i really dont know cause i cant drive it and the other code it had was p0069 i beleive sorry didnt mean to write a book jus wish i knew what to do
CEL come on?
Does this work on a 540i
open it's iziii close its nara izii
wash the engine ......................... how stupid to keep it like that !
This Guy and 50skid looks alike in many aspects. Or is it only my eyes ?!!
لت
Helll No im not doing this . .
So your the one taking engines appart at pick n pull
Hello Nathan,
Here is a question from the far Netherlands.
I just installed an oil catch can like in this video. First test drive I drove quietly and the engine runs nicely. Second test drive faster and now a lot of oil has been sprayed from the hose with air filter of the dipstick.
What could be the cause?
Hi Nathan, first off thanks for doing all the videos. I've done alot of repairs to my BMW with your instructions and I feel good about doing them with the help of you teaching. One question I can figure out, at 415 you were going to go in with a razor knife and disconnect the vacuum housing (with the hex bolts that you had to pry off). Yours broke free before you cut it but I cant find out in any of the videos what to do with that hose that broke (I capped off the vacuum bar system as you said) but does that hose that originally connected to this piece need capped or did you just leave it upcapped? I cant seem to find this answer is all of the videos that you made. You always just cut it and seal the vacuum bar but never mention that hose that you cut again. Do I cap that or just let it dangle?
can you still pass smog if i remove the entire system?
I fix my problem with car !!! I sold it , no more problems for me , maybe is this maybe is that, I just get tired from this "problems", and for you all guys I wish best luck!
hey i gotta take my intake manifold off to replace it, and im doing this aswell u think its easyer if i have the intake manifold off first?
Yes
My dipstick drain hose colaped then when i replaced i noticed the short drainback hose cloged with thick oily gooe. The dipstick tube drain back is cloged.
Great video! By doing this delete are you removing all venting of the crank case? And are you experiencing any vacuum loss by installing open filters at the dipstick vent tube and front of the valve cover?
Of course he is. Do not vent the crankcase like that, you will loose all the vacuum needed for the engine to run.
What I really like you rest bolts in the shock mount pit the same way I do but the whole engine there looks really , really bad. ' Every hose , everything looks decomposed beyond a junk yard sort of condition.
Once oil comes in contact with rubber or plastic, it decomposes it to the initial stage of pretty much what its created from.
I would first grab a lots of quality degreasers plus a good pressure washer to even start working on this.
Most likely you have at least 1k worth of just rubber that is already no good not even mentioning deleting anything and making a video about it.,
I jut know this engines ,
Thanks your video Nathans.
I have some questions
My E39 is M54 525i engine
Are there any disadvantage to delete original ccv systems without oil can?
For example: oil consumption or air leak problem
Will OBD detect error code after delete ccv systems?
What is the benefit of doing this mod ?!?
Jose Reyes 'nothing'
Bmw spend years developing clean and efficient engines so they can run alongside vanos and quick tourque curves at drifferent rpm ranges. Not for us to 'delete' or remove part just to save money!
@@DJSpannamanUK no oil inintake actually
@@DJSpannamanUK you think and speak like Mickey mouse.
🙈
Have you had any other Bmw's with the 3.0 smoking blue smoke that was not the ccv?
Hey bud!!!...hi......iam from the future!!! 2023.....Pep do that without taking the intake out ...with an endoscope assistant lol...😮😮
I'm 39 years old and have been a mechanical engineer for 946 years and I agree with this assessment.
Ive done alot of research and work on my Bmr and you are the first to get this detailed and showed me what needs to really needs to be done to pinpoint the vac system. Thanks a million! New subscriber here!
What kind of filter do you use for the ventilation?
How does the Ecu deal with not having the PCV? Does it through a code? I am in the middle of swapping my blown e39 525I motor to an E46 330I. I am plan on removing all things that are problematic and I could do away with such as the secondary vacuum pump and the back 2 O2 sensors. Also who do you use for tuning your ECU to calibrate delete these items?
I'm wondering the same thing. Are you done with your swap?
To the "engineer" that wants a pcv. Your the ones that engineer things that dont need to be engineered like this ccvv... Good Grief.
Just for the sake of not having to dig all the way down past the throttle body to remove the ccv, can I just cut the pipes filter or block the appropriate pipes then reassemble?
+red i predator Yes you can, dont forget to check out my oil catch can video, and todays video will be up in a couple hours show a single tube replacement for the ccv, it hooks the valve cover tube to vacuum and you cap the dipstick tube hose.
+Nathan's DIY Garage cool man Ile look out for it, when you said about tapping off the 6 inlets on the intake, what is the reason for the breather rail? dose it help lube something pre combustion? I would say tap them off for clean cool air only...?
The easiest way is just to cap off the vacuum log on top of the intake, if you dont you will have a vacuum leak
+Nathan's DIY Garage yeh ive got you dude, nice one for the vid and replying helped out a lot 👌
No wonder they lost the War , BMW’s are ferking shit box’s.
Has anyone ever tried simply running high temp hose instead of the plastic stuff and moving the CCV valve a few inches out from under the intake so it could be serviced easier? Seems like you could keep the basic valve/system but use the rubber hoses to move it around a bit rather that using a catch can.
jsgold2000 that is also what i was thinking but im not sure if anyone has done that. It does make perfect sense to just replace the plastic tubes with high temp hoses and clamps.
any updates on this?
great video i replace the front fuel pressure hose and the oil breather hose to oil stick since then i have the car ruff idle you recommend me to change all the breather hoses with the ccv or just the hoses ?
+jose Moreno There is several different options, oil catch can , ope delete, or single hose delete and of course just replacement of the ccv
50s kid o2 pilot mod so much easier on you tube
how about for the e38< I hear these have problems
are you sure the dipstick does not have to be blocked ?? it will be a vacuum leak though ???
Why do u delete the system??
I have a 2006 x5 3.0 and in the winter here in Maine when it gets colder the car starts fine no smoke and sometimes it will start to smoke and shut off and there’s oil in the engine bay over on passenger side I can’t find where it’s coming from. The car will not immediately start back up but will after a few minutes there doesn’t seem to be a loss of oil in the engine as well. I was told the car did not come with a cold climate pcv? Could I benefit from the delete and does this sound like a pcv issue. Also when the oil cap is removed there is a ton of suction is that bad thank you and thank you for the videos they are very informative
