Product Description

The SKP Valve Cover Breather is an essential engine component designed for BMW models, ensuring optimal ventilation of crankcase gases. This breather helps maintain proper internal engine pressure by allowing gases to escape from the valve cover, preventing the build-up of harmful contaminants and moisture. Its robust plastic housing and integrated diaphragm work together to support reliable engine operation.

This breather is compatible with a range of BMW vehicles, including models from the E81, E82, E87, E88, E90, E60, E83, and F25 series equipped with N52 and N52N engines. Always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code to ensure correct fitment before ordering.

Common symptoms of a faulty valve cover breather include rough idling, increased oil consumption, engine misfires, oil leaks around the valve cover, poor fuel economy, and excessive smoke from the exhaust. You may also notice a check engine light or unusual engine noises if the breather is no longer functioning as intended.

Replace the valve cover breather if you observe any of these issues, or as part of routine maintenance when working on the valve cover or PCV system. Timely replacement helps prevent engine damage caused by pressure build-up or contaminated oil vapours.
