BMW 325D DIY Engine Breather Change 330D E90 / E91 / Removal & Refit/blue smoke from cold start
zhlédnutí 150KPřed 8 lety
BMW 325D DIY Engine Breather Change 330D E90 / E91 / Removal & Refit/blue smoke from cold start. These commonly get blocked and put undue load on the turbo, shortening its life, and causes oil to enter the intake system causing a same amount of blue smoke from the exhaust on cold starts. They should be changed every third or fourth service

Merci, cette vidéo m'as tellement servi 👌👍👍👍
Thanks for the video I’m doing mine next weekend
Do you still own this car?
Sorry, I no longer own this vehicle
Thanks 👍👍👍👍
Very well explained video, cheers for this!
My m47 started smoking like that after the breather change Any clues?
i dont see the filter thing in your breather otherwise good video
Merci pour la vidéo 🙂 top
The strut brace bolt torque specifications are as follows. E18 central firewall bolt should be 100Nm (74 ft-lb) plus an additional 100 degrees. The E14 Strut tower bolt torque spec is 40Nm (30 ft-lb) plus an additional 60 degrees. I deliberately torque mine a little less as I had to helicoil all three of mine due to previous owner stripping them and no way I'm doing it again. I have no issues going slightly less, so I wouldn't worry about the additional degree turn BMW say you should do.
Brilliant guide for us E90 lot. I just finished doing my 2006 320d. It was a massive ball ache, but got there in the end. Thanks.
Tyson fury ? Lol
Thanks very much.
You already had the vortex breather on the car which when fitted doesnt require replacing. The only type that needs changing is the loo roll style. Blue smoke will glow plug and/or module.
The vortex type still go bad mate. They clog up or the seals go.
@@99ron30 that comes down to poor vehicle maintenance not the vortex breaking on its own
@@vivarovanlife So would simply doing more frequent oil changes prevent them from clogging?.
@@99ron30 100%. Bad/old oil will have accumulated a lot carbon which breaks down seals and clogs all sorts. Best way to prevent this on the old M47/57 engines is to frequently change oil and filter every 5,000 miles with good quality/OEM equivalent products
@@vivarovanlife Thanks for replying. I bought mine earlier this year with 142000 miles, had the oil changed when I got it but now I am on 148700 so I am gonna do an oil change tomorow with LL04 5w30 and a Mahle oil filter. I did a test run just now and no more clouds of smoke when I accelerate hard, so my vortex breather change went well.
They've made what used to be a simple job into a difficult job. Thanks for the video. Really appreciate it
This breather is without filter ????
Nice video. You taking your time even to explain the small detail. 👍
Best video in how to replace an air filter on a e90, thanks and keep rolling new videos of other DIY projects
The description is somewhat inaccurate. Neither the old part you removed nor the new part you fitted had the filter element installed in the breather so there is no chance that it could have been blocked. However the vacuum diaphragm that is inside the round bit can split and cause oil to be sucked into the manifold and cause blue smoke like it does on the petrols. However that has nothing to do with anything being blocked. Assuming this fixed the blue smoke issue it would have been the diaphragm valve at fault.
This type doesnt have a filter. I spent ages trying to figure out why I couldnt find one with a filter until I was told it didnt have one
@@emil1460 Incorrect. You are thinking of the revised type which has a cyclone type "filter" (looks like a pair of small funnels underneath) which replaced this type which DID/was supposed to have a cotton filter cartridge fitted to it, but they were notorious for clogging up quickly and causing issue so it was redesigned for later M57/47 varients.
@@soundseeker63 Ive literally just done this job on the exact same engine
very bad....the foam filter is missing, or the cyclone filter (vortex)...i m french my vehicule is E90 330D 2008. czcams.com/video/cRVqelz_rC0/video.html
THANK YOU JOHN, THIS HAS HELPED ME. KIND REGARDS JAL
I think I will live with my small bit of smoke only on start up wwwaaayyy to much work, bmws are shite to work on
Neil Devlin l did this on my 325d and made no difference. Like yours, mine smokes for about a minute,maybe less on cold startup then nothing.
Shite to work on? Ever worked on an Octavia tdi? Those are Shite to work on xD
@@zman1998b yes but I'm talking about the 530, 3.0
9.20 dude where is the breather filtering unit ? :D You are only installing the housing!
Hi, these come as a sealed unit, this video shows how to change the unit. Kind regards
@@johnwasilewski964 you are missing vortex oil separator from breather. In models pre 2002 there was a filter after 2002 (from what I remember) there was separator.
OMG, how much work just to replace the bloody air filter?!
Thanks for the comment, I agree it's ridiculous
ive got to do this to my 330d e90 as well as changing the air filter while im at it , everything always seems to be a mission to fix anything on bmw,s , miss working on my old volvo , nothing was complicated unlike the bmw , but what can you do ea
Hi john, would a blocked breather cause a lumpy idle for 10 secs on startup also? Thank you in advance
B Wood that’ll be glow plugs, glow plug relay module, or injectors.
Hi, sorry no
Hello do you have any video to show how to Pull out One of this injectores of that engine? Thanks
People there is a faster way to change air filter on these engines 325-335d m57. Instead of taking of climate filter and all that just take of the engine cover - the hose betwen turbo and maf- take of the maf sensor then unscrew just the visible screws for air filter cover, not the screw far back. And just jerk out the filter while holding the filter cover. Have done it this way the last 2-3 times and to just take of turbo hose and maf is faster than taking of all the parts over the engine. With the maf of you can easily pull out air filter. Remember to unconnect negative on battery before unpluging elektronics.
Horrible this plastic crap fromm BMW.
Good camera work! I've been trying to find some good shots of the cowling area, and most of what I've seen is dark and blurry. Thanks
😨 All that works just to get to the breather!!!! This is so bad maintainability design.
ok but you missing install breather filter ?
I cant believe what I'm looking at as well. Also it surprises me how this video got so many thumbs up as well.
hello there,it seems to be many things to unbolt /remove, still, thanks for your time and patient you deserve a pint of something.cheers
Thanks for the video. Followed it to the letter and it made the job much less stressful. Jeez, BMW do make it really easy🤦🏼♂️
Wow just to change the air filter. Why BMW why?
I don't get it why, but they must have a reason. I have recently changed from honda to this BMW and changing the air filter on honda was a one-minute job, just a few metal clips and the whole cover were off. OK, this is a fairly complicated engine than 1.8L honda petrol engine but still, what part of that engine benefits from this complicated air filter assembly.
A very well explained video. Saved me a lot in labour charges just for a £16 part. Thanks..
Did this cure the blue smoke on cold startup?
Hi, Yes it cured my blue smoke on cold start up.
John Wasilewski Great stuff.. thanks for the reply 😉
Dziękuję za film/ Thank You for video
Great video! It solved the blue smoke problem on my 05 320D E90.
Goo video I am going yo use it next time.
Good video, i found it easier to also loosen the other bolt on the rear engine cover, it gives better access to that tricky rear bolt on the air filter housing. The strut brace restricts access to the other bolt on the rear engine cover but you can get an allen key in.
3,5,6 lol
Thx! I think that video refers to the filter. The rest can be found in other videos. Well explained thank you
Nice video man, Worked a treat on my 05 320D e90, No blue smoke and a much smoother idle since changing, Also fitted swirl flap blanks at the same time. These breathers can be picked up on ebay for about £20 if anyone is wondering where to get them as EuroCarParts and Halfords don't seem to stock them.
so, hmmmm did changing the breather valve make any difference to your car.. as you've stated that changing the valve is whats needed but neglected to show there results hmmmm we shall never know.....
might be a stupid qs but do all bmw have engine breather?
+Slengo Slengaw - EVERY Engine needs a " Breather " ... Even Lawn Mower and Small Weed Wacker !!!
Jordan Bronson Not quite. Weed whackers are 2 stroke. Only 4 strokes have crankcase breathers.
Yes its good but....you should have changed the air filter..and you should have showed the result by starting the engine again to show no smoke.ta
hi, it looks like some thing is missing in the breather housing. In my e39 and e46 330d there is a filter element inside.
thelincoln72 - The E90s don't need the loo roll or vortex filter. It's built into the valve cover itself.
MrSweetE90 - My E90 had the loo roll filter which I had changed out for the vortex breather. Did the same to my E60.
M57 after 2007 doesnt have filter/vortex. You can check in RealOEM.
@@mrsweete9065 How do I clean the breather in the valve cover as my E90 330d did not have either a loo roll type nor a vortex filter in it when I changed mine?
@@misterphiluk I'm not too sure how you would do that as they're not designed to be cleaned, and I don't think it's common for them to clog either. I suppose there's nothing to stop you removing the valve cover and then rinsing it through. But I'd definitely figure out if it's even clogged, I don't believe I've heard of that issue before. Our M57n2 engines don't have any filter in the crankcase breather that sits on top of the valve cover, while it's not completely understood why they deliberately left this out, it should be used. I'll try and dig out a puma about this. You can till buy the Vortex filter for the CCV by using a part number from another car like an X5 30d Here's the article link, open with Chrome and translate to English www.motor-talk.de/forum/r6-dieselmotoren-m57tue-m57tue2-ansaugbruecke-undicht-oelabscheider-t4381335.html
omg worst air filter change ever i mean its time-consuming not your job :)
Quite amazing mate very therapeutic watching a pro at work..having to change a crank breather pipe on my e90 and watching your methodical approach has gave me confidence in doing it..good show👍👍👍💪🏻...
I don't suppose you took a video of the exhaust before and after?
Hi sorry didn't take a picture afterwards, the video was intended to show how to replace the breather
