My friendly neighborhood dealer said BMW won't cover my MY2014(out of warranty) hoses, but would give me a 30% discount and only charge me $950! LOL. Got love the Bimmer service costs. Also quoted 5.5 hrs. LOL to that too! Guess I'll be doing it myself. |

I called BOA as well and they told me to pound sand. Tried a couple different times as well.

They said my vehicle was not built on a production line that was affected. They said even though it was the same vehicle model and same part number for the hoses, not all production lines were covered. Total bs of course, but it is what it is. I fixed it for less than $50 myself, and my time arguing with them is worth more to me than that.

I also gave up on BOA; they told me that they would back whatever the dealer told me. Dealer wanted $130 to diagnose the broken hoses, but did give me a $1300 orig. quote reduced to $950 discounted rate for both hoses. Fixed them both myself for $300. Easy fix.

Guys my car started having subtle vibrations it's at 70k right now and I ordered plugs and coil packs from FCP Euro, while attempting to to change them I noticed the connecting hose for the crank case assembly is broken as well (car was also having like a whistle noise at idle). I bought a connecting hose and installed it with the new Coil packs and the plugs. The car still had a check engine light and rougher idle. Can a faulty crank case assembly cause this issue?

Hi guys, long shot here but does anyone know if there is a similar warranty in Australia? I haven't been able to find a bulletin online and the dealerships don't even know what a crankcase ventilation line is (I kid you not).

Thank you so much for this post my warranty was only going to cover the MAF sensors that got ruined by these leaking and I found this post and the dealership took responsibility and said they're covering it all.

This write up was so helpful replacing the vent pipe in my 2014 50i X5.
I’d just like to add that a few of the fasteners were different than in the photos you showed. The screws shown in the 2nd photo were actually two torx screws and the one on the right was an external torx. For that one, I didn’t have the proper socket, but a regular 6mm (I think) socket did the trick. Also, that external torx couldn’t be removed on my car without first taking off a nearby electrical clip. I think the hardest part of the whole job was getting that clip off. It took me a while to figure out how to lever out the blue tab so it could be removed. Also, the dealer wanted $188 for the vent pipe, so I chose this $50 version I found on Amazon. It clipped in great and seems to be working fine. Oh, and my car didn’t qualify for the free fix from the dealer. I think that only applies to a small run of vehicles from a specific production line. It’s still worth a call to your dealer to see if yours does qualify though, they can look it up in 2 minutes. Thx again for the write up.

Anyone know if this applies to S63 as well?
I have a 2016 X5M. Thinking may have a leak here. Does this leak trip 20E120 code "pcv vent faulty or disconnected"? |

Turns out there's so much you can push them in and they just won't snap in place. I had to hammer the clips with a mallet to get them past the plastic notch to secure them. Drove until engine reached operating temperature and didn't experience any issues.

Yep this the same for the S63, here is mine done.
The valve side is keyed, its a twist to unlock and a twist to lock. Clockwise to unlock from valve cover, and counter to lock back in. When you insert the PCV into the valve cover, it needs to sit flush prior to you turning. So the pipe need to be 90° to the valve cover, otherwise it wont go in correctly. Notice the tabs on the pipe, and the valve cover. Also see the connector side, for what the clips look like. |

One thing I would add to this write-up: be extremely careful when you remove and re-install the quick connect where it snaps onto the intake tube. That elbow is VERY poorly attached to the rest of the intake tube and it can very easily snap off. Replacing that intake tube is balls, so it's better to just not break it in the first place.
The write-up mentions "lifting up" the wire guide that runs on top of the engine. At least on my 2017 S63 (which do have different CCV tubes than the N63), that is not at all possible. You must remove the screws and push the wire guide back and out of the way. Really easy job, just made annoying by BMW's typical paper mache underhood plastic. I do agree that this is a great time to change the plugs because you're down in the same area anyway. |

Question for those of you who've done this. I'm about to do plugs and coils on my '15 50i with 72k miles. I don't have any faults that would indicate I've got this issue, but it sounds like it may be wise to replace these preventatively at the same time. Also possible I'll break them in the process of doing the plugs & coils if they aren't broken already. GetBMWparts lists the pair of these at ~$380.
