I think that's a breather pipe from the rocker cover which takes the fumes of oil and reuses them into the intake and they go back into the engine so it is normal to have a bit of oil on those pipes.
I helped my brother in law do his. I can confirm it was definitely a pain in the arse. Week after we did the rocker cover and gasket and that was way worse 😂😭
Awesome Brett. Father Christmas arrives in 9 weeks so you could get your new tools then?!?! How did you keep your white t shirt so clean! Working on your stunning bmw?
I see so many M140i bmw car for sale here it's insane, idk why or how i could easily get one in new condition but sadly insurance will be more expensive compared to my 328i.
so this happened to my Mini Cooper s turbo car and was replacing the intake and a load of oil was in the pipes turns out the turbo fans had failed So just get someone to double check
Have you smoke tested this to 100% ensure no boost leaks? I’ve got a VRSF one and it’s absolutely pathetic, pissing smoke out and I’ve had it in for 3 months, absolutely no DME codes just thought I would check and it’s horrible
@@BrettBarnesYT Maybe you can consider installing an oil catch can, that oil is coming from the head of the engine in form of vapour. Oil catch cans are tipically installed on diesel engines because the problem is much more evident, but nothing stops them to be used also on petrol engines
They are my grandads dads I believe so extremely old 😂. I’ve only been into cars for a couple years so I’m still building my own tools. I’m thinking of buying the Halfords advanced 200 piece tool kit which will have most things I’ll need. At the moment I take about an hour to find a tool I need from my dads, grandads or my grandads dads toolbox which is very annoying 😂😂.
It's the M135 charge pipe that cracks not the M140 Charge pipe. The box from the intake pipe is a resonator not a filter. Fair play to you having the car and wanting to do stuff but it's obviously companies just sending you free stuff to get advertising. Please hurry up and get the Halfords tool box as seeing you use those chocolate tools is just embarrasing. lol
If you wanted the video properly you would’ve heard many times that I mentioned that it’s the N55 engine that has the problems however it’s still a worthwhile upgrade for better airflow, reliability and appearance. I know it’s a resonator… but thanks for the info anyway. I’ve only been into cars for a couple years so not invested in tools. I’ve been using my dads, grandads and my grandads dads tools for the timing being which do the job. Lol
