Product Description

This Arrowhead breather valve is designed for the engine breather system on select BMW models. The breather valve plays a crucial role in regulating crankcase pressure, preventing oil leaks, and ensuring that harmful vapours are properly vented from the engine. It includes multiple moulded plastic components, integrated seals, and is engineered to fit directly in place of the original part.

This breather valve is compatible with BMW models such as the E87, E46, E90, and E60 series with 2.0 diesel engines, including the 120d, 320, and 520 fitted with M47N or N47 engine codes. Always check your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to confirm compatibility.

Common symptoms of a failing breather valve include rough idling, increased oil consumption, oil leaks, poor engine performance, excessive exhaust smoke, and whistling or hissing noises from the engine bay. You may also notice a strong oil smell or check engine light related to emissions issues.

It is advisable to replace the breather valve if you experience any of these symptoms or during routine maintenance, especially as these components can become clogged or brittle over time. Timely replacement helps prevent further engine damage and maintains proper engine ventilation.

MiMi Auto Parts offers this Arrowhead breather valve with nationwide delivery across South Africa. For peace of mind and reliable service, always confirm your vehicle details before purchase and trust MiMi Auto Parts for your BMW engine breather needs.
