This was truly an inexpensive fix that only took about 10-15 minutes, and best of all, it took care of the problem! Thank you again for your very informative video, I truly do appreciate it!
Mi X5 2007 (140.000 Miles), have a same smoke issue. The smoke is white and blue after around 10min. in ralentin. But when is run, nothing smoke. The Engine need refill 1 liter oil every 3 months.
@@Marksreviewsandtutorials hi, thanks for sharing I do have a question... my x5 is 2009 4.8i I only found the valve on the right side I was not able to find the left one do you know if this only have it on one side??? Please help...
PCV location for 2008 550i E60 V8 driver side is correct. PVC location for passenger side is actually in front of engine encased by soft rubber cover, tube going to passenger side valve cover. Other wise correct.
I changed out the valve seal just as u show in the video. I had one that was ripped like shown here. Seemed to take care of the problem almost immediately. Drove around a bit and started smoking again. Wondering if it is because of oil that had previously leaked through needing to burn off, or if I need to go back and reset the new seal. Any thoughts?
Yes it can be oil that is still through the system. But that should go after 1 good hard run. If not then sadly the valve stem seals could also be gone. That is an expensive and complicated repair
Hi mate my car smoke when idle run perfect coolent level is fine oil level is fine. The smoke is like a steam while driving there is no smoke even on traffic lights no smoke , it only smoke when I a park my car for a while , can Ccv be the problem or is it something else
This could be valve stem seals which is very expensive to get done, but first I would change the CCV yourself if you are able because it could be that as well.
I just re-read this what was the problem and how did you fix it. If the smoke is white it can actually be steam, as in coolant is getting into the fuel air mixture and coming out the exhaust as steam.
What ain't theses videos not show the 2003 BMW X5 4.4i PVC ventilation valve replacement it shows 2005 , 2000 , but no 2003 were can I find the correct TH-cam video. Please 🙏
I keep hearing valve stem seals and the ungodly expense of repairing- but that’s for OIL burning- which would be BLUE smoke... for WHITE smoke, that is linked to coolant... but I still see VSS’s as a culprit- which doesn’t make a lock of sense. So confused!
$20 my arse!! Not in England you cannot £42 each ??? Mind you ,China & Hong Kong £3.50 free p&p . Spring does not look as strong which means the Diaphram should not break so easily. 10 Points for China & Japan (Hong Kong)

G Butcher Thanks for the additional information MRT
Easy I just replace on my 2005 545i thank you for the video
Well done. 👍
Hello Mark, I have a 2009 x5 and is starting to blow white smoke , if I follow your steps do you think it will fix the issue?
Thank you in advance!
Great tutorial! This just happened to me an hour ago. I'll be looking to get the parts I need and give it a try. Thank You Sir!
ReneC77 so glad it helped. I trust this will fix it for you and that it won't end up being the valve stem seals. Good luck
great video, congrats...no more smoke

I have an 2011 X5 50i twin turbo v8... will this work for mine?!
Sandra Bean Your engine is at least 5 years newer but yes I believe they still have these valves
My car is smoking a lot when it’s idle. Do you think this will fix my problem as well? It is a 2013 BMW X5. 4.4 v8
Jordan Zabaneh This is the cheap thing to try first and pray it fixes it. If not it is likely valve stem seals and that is quite expensive.
Hi will this be the same procedure on a 2006 Bmw 650 I convertible
This procedure was on a 2005 4.4l V8 So if you have the same engine Yes.

Is this an e65 or e66?
E53 👍

syd bell You can keep the genuine springs if they are still ok. I was happy with the quality of the rubber.
