Product Description

The Arrowhead Hose Breather 401413 to Dipstick is designed for the breather engine system in select BMW models. This hose channels crankcase vapours from the engine breather to the dipstick tube, helping to maintain proper engine ventilation and reduce the risk of oil contamination. Its flexible construction and angled connector ensure a secure fit and reliable performance under engine bay conditions.

This breather hose is compatible with a range of BMW vehicles, including E46, E39, E60, E38, E53, E85, Z3, and E36 models with M52 and M54 engines. Always check your vehicle’s model, year, engine size, and engine code to confirm compatibility before purchase.

Common symptoms of a failing breather hose include rough idling, increased oil consumption, oil leaks around the dipstick tube, engine warning lights, poor fuel economy, and visible cracks or splits in the hose. You may also notice a strong smell of oil vapour or smoke from the engine bay.

It is advisable to replace the breather hose if you notice any of these symptoms or during routine maintenance, especially on older vehicles. Damaged or blocked hoses can lead to excess crankcase pressure and potential engine damage if left unattended.

Order your Arrowhead breather hose from MiMi Auto Parts for reliable fitment and peace of mind. We offer nationwide delivery throughout South Africa, and our knowledgeable team is ready to assist with any fitment questions.
