Due to weak plastic construction, the factory plastic crankcase ventilation breather hose is known to fail. After years of exposure to piping-hot engine bay temperatures and chemical-laden oil vapors, the corrugated plastic tubing can crack, crumble, or fail altogether.
We set out to bulletproof your M52/S52 CCV system with a durable silicone breather hose, designed to provide a comprehensive upgrade and permanent replacement for the factory plastic hose. By replacing the flimsy, heat-hardened OEM plastic hose with a four-ply fluorosilicone hose, you'll experience peace of mind knowing your M52 or S52 is free from the inevitable return of oil leaks, vacuum leaks, and drivability concerns that would have been.
This breather hose is found at the front of the engine, and is used to connect the cyclone separator to the valve cover. It replaces OEM part number 11151703775.
Features:
Silicone construction ensures a durable replacement that is sure to outlast OE plastic Designed as a direct replacement for the factory breather hose - not too short like many aftermarket alternatives, and does not require cutting to fit Works seamlessly with the OEM OBDII valve cover and cyclone separator, as well as the Turner Motorsport Billet Aluminum Valve Cover (T#26238386) Design:
Three-ply wire-reinforced fluorosilicone hose is designed to resist degradation due to exposure to oil vapors O-rings are pre-installed in OE Norma connectors for a lasting seal Includes pre-installed 430 stainless steel hose clamps for durability and corrosion-resistance Product Development:
Our Silicone CCV Hose Upgrade was designed, engineered, tested, and quality inspected by our Research and Development team in our Wadsworth, Ohio, facility. We strive for the highest level of precision and quality through leading-edge product development technology, including FARO laser scanning for reverse engineering and quality inspection, SolidWorks 3D CAD modelling, rapid prototyping utilizing our in-house 3D printer, and rigorous long-term product testing.

Rubber breather pipes in various BMW applications are susceptible to cracking. Over time, engine heat and weather conditions can weaken these hoses, leading to breaks or leaks. This results in significant vacuum leaks that can severely affect engine performance.
Moreover, BMW faces a problem with oil separators freezing in cold weather, particularly if the engine isn't adequately warmed up during driving. Typical signs include a howling noise and subsequent oil leaks.
The plastic hoses and oil separator can crack or become faulty, leading to vacuum leaks or oil leaks. This is caused by the stress the plastic components are exposed to during heating and cooling cycles, especially if the vehicle is not brought up to operating temperature during driving in cold weather climates.
This kit includes the needed hoses, oil separator, mounting grommet, and hardware.

On M52/S52-equipped BMWs, the factory crankcase ventilation (CCV) system is a notorious weak link. Between brittle plastic corrugated hoses that crumble from heat soak and an internal cyclone diaphragm prone to tearing, a failing CCV leads to massive oil consumption, vacuum leaks, and that dreaded "howling" whistle.
This kit addresses these issues with all new components and hardware. Both oil separator hoses, the cyclone separator itself, the mounting grommet, and the retaining bolts are included. Servicing this system is guaranteed to restore performance lost as a result of worn CCV components.
Kit includes:
Cyclone Separator/Crankcase Pressure Regulator Valve High Performance Silicone Breather Hose Return Hose Mounting Grommet Hex Bolt (3)

Modern emission regulations require a closed PCV/Breather system for cleaner operation. However, inefficient oil particle capture can lead to excessive oil vapor ingestion, causing carbon buildup, reduced performance, and fuel economy. ECS Tuning's updated ECS Baffled Oil Catch Can, now with an easy-to-empty 1/4" drain fitting, is engineered to collect toxic blow-by gases, minimize carbon deposits, and reduce oil contamination within engine oil. Recirculating oil vapor ensures emissions compliance without venting to the atmosphere.
