BMW CCV M43 Crankcase Vent E36, Z3, E46 

These videos are wayyyyyyy better than Leon's. Plus I feel all thug now with the music.

What a great video. The fact that you would take the time to use a mirror to get the shot is amazing. I made several automotive repair videos, they are all horrible. Not only do I do stuff incorrectly, but I also go off on profanity-laced tirades when I drop a bolt. Anyway, it is refreshing to see a well-made how-to video. Cheers.

Brilliant video quickly sorted my e46 misfire and rough idle,thanks for posting.👍👍

That's a clean engine... even cleaner now! =)

Hello Niamh. So! You do car repairs. And definetely cleaning! :-)) Funky choice of music to go with the cleaning sounds :-)) Cheers, Sunshine

Amazing repair :) Thanks for sharing. Good luck!

The black and white one way valve on the vacuum lines is the opposite way round to mine. Thanks for the vid, I can change my squashy breather pipe now.

oh noooooo, I also dropped that little screw 😱

it has been 2 years, and this video really helpful, try to change flange with both vacuum vent and coolant hose later on. waiting for delivery. thanks for the video, similar engine with e46, m43 1999

Another great repair Niamh and like your choice off music

Thanks, makes it a lot clearer to do on my bmw

Going to do this today, and the breather hose ccv again, and the upper timechain cover gaskets.

Thx dude! i was about to remove like half of the air intake...

Super vraiment ❤

Great video. I could replace a breather hose on my e36 cabrio with this video. from S,Korea.

Hey! We wear the same jacket when working on cars!

Nice video

Apt choice of music Niamh. Let it breathe!

Is it possible that i have only one hose connected to the valve? I have a 1994 e36 318i... I checked my engine bay and i see only one hose going from the vent to the cranckshaft cover but nothing to the back of the engine (only one going to the side from under the vent)

What did u use to clean with ? Thx

Niamh I’m dropping my car off at yours for the weekend just have a good look at it for me Fix what’s broken I’ll sort you out

Such a great video :) I just have one question. It seems i'll need to undertake it as well and if I want to replace the hoses, they come only in pair. The problem is in the lower hose (NOT the rocket cover -> PCV) seems delivering coolant according to the OEM pictures? Is it true therefore i have to drain the coolant before? Thank you very much for the answer.

What where your symptons, I have error 171 in INPA and I am suspecting the PCV. (Sometimes rough idle when warm)

Great video Niamh what is that under water song,its dynamite?

Well done. Extremely good video. Tel me about your engine, what’s the mileage? Has it had any problems? Thanks again.

Nice👍

Hi thanks for sharing. Did the car behaviour better after this change?

Hope somone can help : Is there any case a faulty hose you replace in the beggining of the video or the valve at the end of it causing rpms staying high when the clutch is pressed ? Thanks for the nice video !

Where does the 2nd smaller hose go?

I really need to know if it is hard to replace the second hose that is connected to the cooling system and some guidance on what should be done

1st boom

Hi, do you have any video about fixed DISA to motor E46 M43/TU ?

Can i change coolant hose too without removing coolant flange? I have watched your video about changing flange and other part of hose but my flange is ok and i am not that skiled to changed flange too. Thanks for the video!

Hi! I need to replace my Crankcase vent breather hose as it's perished and leaking oil. Will I also need to remove the valve cover (and replace the gaskets)?

Hello there and thank you for the video. I too, undertook the action of replacing my vent and cleaning my valve cover while the mechanic fixes my hydraulic lifters... But now... the hairy part I managed to create... I could use or anybody's help here... I decided to clean the inner part of the valve cover thoroughly as it's never been cleaned in my opinion. But unfortunately I destroyed the two gaskets which sit on the sides of the plate where the oil gases travel to the hose to exit the valve-train... Could you please give me an idea where I should get new gaskets from as they do not have OE number and are not sold here in my country... I am now looking for cars which are sold in parts but the owners are only willing to sell a whole valve cover to me... Any ideas are much appreciated :) I am talking about the gasket on 4:41 of the video as there is another gasket on the other side, once you take the plate off the valve cover. I destroyed them with oil diluent while cleaning them. Cheers and best of regards!

Hi, I'm struggling to reach the allen bolts on the vent valve of my m44 318ti. What is that thick pipe directly above the CCV valve? Is it safe to detach it so I can get better access?

have you got a rattling problem from the disa valve? I'm thinking of getting a repair kit because the replacement is way too expensive. what should be my best approach

It’s hard to film while doing work

Fuck I just gave $150 for this to replace

hey fellow check this out, just go ahead and delete that breather valve, instead attach long rubber hose from valve cover to the end of the car, left open holes on intake and deep stick just use plugs. Believe me your car will run better. Easy life fellow...... make your life easy.
