Product Description

The Arrowhead Breather Valve is an essential component in the breather engine system for selected BMW models. This part helps regulate the flow of gases from the crankcase, ensuring your engine maintains optimal ventilation and prevents unwanted pressure build-up. Its robust plastic construction includes a two-piece housing, integrated chamber, and detachable rubber gaskets for effective sealing and reliable function.

Designed specifically for BMW vehicles, this breather valve is commonly used in models with the M57N2 engine, such as the E90, E60, E83, E70, and E71 series with 330d, 530d, 3.0d, and 30dx designations. Always confirm your BMW’s model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to ensure compatibility.

A failing breather valve can lead to a range of engine performance issues. Symptoms may include increased oil consumption, rough idling, engine warning lights, excessive exhaust smoke, oil leaks, or loss of engine power. If you notice any of these signs, it may be time to inspect or replace your breather valve.

Replacement of the breather valve is recommended if you experience symptoms of crankcase pressure problems or during routine maintenance of your engine’s ventilation system. Timely replacement helps maintain proper engine performance and prevents costly damage caused by pressure build-up or oil leaks.
