Product Description

This Arrowhead hose breather valve cover to 401413 is designed for the breather engine system in selected BMW models. It connects the valve cover to the engine's ventilation system, ensuring proper routing of blow-by gases and maintaining optimal crankcase pressure. This hose features robust right-angle quick-connect fittings and flexible ribbed sections for a secure fit and reliable airflow.

Compatibility is specific to BMW vehicles, particularly models using the M52 and M54 engines, such as certain E46, E39, E60, E38, E53, E85, and Z3 E36 series. Always confirm your BMW's model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering, as breather hoses can vary between engine variants.

A failing or damaged breather hose can cause symptoms like rough idling, increased oil consumption, poor engine performance, oil leaks, and a check engine light. You may also notice hissing noises or a strong smell of oil vapour inside the cabin.

Replace the breather hose if you find cracks, brittleness, or oil contamination. It is also recommended to replace it during major engine service or if you experience any related symptoms, as a compromised breather hose can affect engine efficiency and emissions.
