E90 CRANK CASE VENTILATOR

Hi guys.

On my 2011 E90 320i... who would be able to help with a tutorial or a web link to diagnose and replace the CCV. I tried searching but can't find anything helpful, also can't find the CCV on realoem.com for a part number.
Thanks in advance.

To further explain my situation... On start-up and idle I have light white "smoke" from the exhaust. It almost looks similar to condensation but it doesn't go away. There is also a slight increase in oil usage and a noticeable power loss.

It might be your ccv yes but my money is on valve stem seals. how may km's does your car have on?

i agree, it sounds more like valve stem seals, ccv release pressure within the motor, on start up there is no pressure- to my understanding, also i think in the facelift models, the ccv is built into the tappet cover, think its 7k for the part where as valve stem seals can cost 5k... fit and supply

do a compression leak down test (think its called that)

Agreed

I will never buy a e46 318i or e90 320i.

Definitely valve stem seals common on the Lol90 320i
