BMW m54/m52tu CCV replacement | The quick way 

Yes removing the oil filter housing will give you some extra access. Thanks for watching, glad it helped

Thank you mate. Appreciate the comment. In the video, it was my first time doing it with the inlet still in place. Normally, I always do it with inlet off. I have done it this way a few times since, and it's definitely quicker, I feel, but yes, not much space, so it can be a bit fiddly.

Ah thank you for the comment. Really appreciate your kind words. Nice to have you here.

I do this type of stuff as a job. I think it took a couple of hours. If I take the manifold off, then it only takes an extra 20 mins or so.

@@GaragE36uk while I have you, what tool would you recommend to remove the vanos solenoid on the exhaust side? Mine is leaking and only thing I can think of is removing the whole unit. I appreciate any input. Thank you.

@@GaragE36uk nm I just figured it out lol

@@agustinreyes6111 no worries, always happy to help

Thanks mate.

@@GaragE36uk 👍

@GaragE36 youtube put a bmw advert at the end of your video aswell iv nice👍

😂 thank you, you are very welcome

Make sure to sub if your not already subbed.

Excessive oil consumption was my main issue and smoked a little, both seem to have now been fixed.. Also seems to run better, I had alot of oil sludge in mine which was probably going back into the inlet.

No I wouldn't think the UK is that cold to need one.

Have fitted lots of febi kits with no issues..

Yes of course mate

@stewartcolley1345 you could try it, but only at 10.04pm on a Saturday night..

Oil and filter changed regularly

Thanks mate.. I had high oil consumption, was hoping the ccv would have cured it, but not the case, still uses more than it should no smoke or anything tho or very little as I don't notice. Car still drives fine tho I use lucas oil stabiliser in mine..

It's alot less that before. Still a little bit of oil consumption but not as drastic as before

It's a Bimmer...its what they do

you can try o2pilot mod for oil consumption (dont do it if temps are below 0 degree celsius - if ccv froze it would suck in entire oil from oil pan :) and most likely kill the engine )

Mine is the same, but a few years ago i took a 1600 mile trip in Sweden. I filled the engine oil at home and trusted the oil level lamp (as usual) to come on when the level went low. Some 99% higway in leagal pace, easy on the trottle most of the time. When i got back home i was going to fill at least a quarter of oil, but there where no room for any oil. The stick showed almost full. I started to belive that i had overfilled it when leaving, but it seem like higway smooth driving wont suck any exess oil. Its a convertible and i only drive it in the summer. Last summer i did a oil/filter change and replaced the oil filter housing O "ring", after 200 miles the low on oil lamp went cracy. So this summer a new ccv and the censor in the oil pan will be replaced. I also changed the rear chocks last summer at close to 120 000 miles. They are so easy to change on a conv, so i did not buy expensive ones. I think 30 min for both of them is enough. At lest now when i done it once. 2003 330ci . Its my 10 years aniversery this spring with the car. And when looking at what they are asking for the car today, its aboute what i payed 10 years ago. I usually get one or two SMS asking if i want to sell the car, every summer. Specially when the weather is nice and hot. But i will keep the car, as long as i can drive a car. I also have a 2003 hyunday gets as my winter car.

I think I used one of my old pipes as the new one didn't seem to want to fit right. Was very tight. Old pipe worked fine.

@@GaragE36uk yeah, i figured that out too. Did the same but only with a heaterhose and original tips cutted off. Putt that together and voila, haha. But thanks for the reply man!
