Replaced air filter...crank case breather check?
Hi,
First post here.
Found this excellent step by step AFTER I had replaced the air filter on my e92 330d. Had an e46 320d and learned the hard way that this really is a lengthy knuckle scraping process. Totally agree with others that BMW have made this a needlessly complicated task. Why is access to the filter so poorly thought through.
Rant over...
Whilst I had the covers off I thought I’d also inspect the crank case / turbo breather to establish if it had a filter which may need changing or cleaning.
My previous e46 320d had a small round filter which was totally clogged. Replaced this with the maintenance free vortex upgrade for peace of mind.
The crank case breather on my e92 330d appears to also be the vortex type.
I just gave the inside a wipe and re fitted
Anybody got any thoughts or info on these breathers? Are they pretty much maintenance free.
Please note I will not be chuffed to learn I’ve missed something!
Only those who have changed one of these air filters will understand
Cheers for any comments
Rob
