Product Description

This SKP valve cover breather is a crucial component in the breather engine system for selected BMW models. It plays a vital role in managing crankcase ventilation, preventing oil vapour build-up, and ensuring your engine runs efficiently. The assembly features a robust plastic housing, integrated spring mechanism, and a secure rubber seal to maintain a proper seal and function under varying engine conditions.

Designed specifically for BMW vehicles, this valve cover breather is compatible with models such as the E81, E87, E88, E90, X1 E84, and Z4 E85 fitted with the N46 engine. Always confirm your BMW's model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to ensure correct fitment.

Common symptoms of a failing valve cover breather include increased oil consumption, rough idling, engine misfires, oil leaks around the valve cover, excessive smoke from the exhaust, and a noticeable drop in engine performance. You may also notice a check engine light or unusual noises from the engine bay.

If you experience any of these symptoms, it is recommended to inspect and replace the valve cover breather promptly. Over time, the breather can become clogged or the seals may degrade, leading to poor engine ventilation and potential damage.
