Emissions System for BMW 3 Series E46 (1999-2005)

The factory rubber/plastic hoses become brittle and crack over time. Brittle and cracked hoses can cause multiple vacuum leaks that are impossible to repair without hose replacement. Vacuum leaks can cause many problems including rough running, missing, stalling at idle, and even a no-start condition.

The factory hoses offered through BMW are plastic and will yield the same results of becoming brittle and damaged over time. Our solution is a premium replacement that will outlast everyone of the OEM replacements. Our Silicone Crankcase Vent Hose can be used to replace the factory brittle hose to ensure your S54 is free from vacuum leaks and performing properly.

CSL Vent Hose (11157833649) - Silicone Crankcase Vent hose is a direct replacement

Key benefits:

Lifetime replacement of the brittle OEM plastic crankcase breather hose that is susceptible to cracking overtime from constant heat cycling

Design:

Retains OEM hose end fittings to ensure proper seal

Our engineers at Turner sought out to solve the degrading issues that happens with the factory crankcase vent hose and found the best solution is a silicone replacement. Our Turner Silicone Crankcase Vent Hose can be used to replace the factory brittle hose to prevent vacuum leaks and lackluster performance. Simply take your factory crankcase vent hose and remove the ends; the factory ends can be installed on the new Silicone Vent Hose with the supplied clamps for a tight seal.

Turner Silicone Crankcase Vent Hose replaces the following part #'s:

CSL Vent Hose (11157833649) - Silicone Crankcase Vent hose is a direct replacement
Non-CSL Vent Hose(11157831311) - Silicone hose will make a "U" bend with direct fitment and can also be trimmed for your own preferable fit.

Modern day emissions regulations require the use of a closed crankcase ventilation (PCV) system to recirculate combustion blow-by gases from the crankcase back in to the intake to be burned.  Unfortunately, these blow by gases contain water vapor (which is a byproduct of combustion) and pick up oil mist from and the windage cloud and cam lubrication system as they travel through the crank case.  Due to less than 100% effective air/oil separation in the stock PCV system, some oil mist and water vapor gets carried back to the intake tract and over time cause oil deposits in the intake manifold, intake ports, and on the back of intake valves.  All will eventually lead to poor performance and reduced fuel economy, and the presence of this oil mist in the intake charge may even increase the risk of engine-damaging detonation. 

With forced induction, track use, and/or extended high RPM usage, these symptoms increase as the factory PCV system is overwhelmed, and a catch can becomes a must for your E46 M3. This kit is a direct fit making this an easy reversal if desired as well as maintaining a clean appearance by utilizing the open "smuggler's compartment" on the passenger side of the engine bay.

Features:

• 6061-T6 billet machined body, anodized black for lasting protection and appearance
• Strategically positioned 4 chamber baffle system maximizes oil / air separation 
• Knurled and black anodized oil dipstick makes inspecting oil volume of reservoir clean and simple
• Sealed with a pre-installed viton o-Ring
• Includes 2.5mm allen key to remove baffle plates for cleaning
• Engineered to create multiple changes in the direction of airflow within the separator to cause oil droplets to fall out of suspension before exiting the catch can
• Closed / recirculated design reduces oil ingestion and promotes cleaner emissions and odor-less operation
• Valved drainage system - no removal of can necessary to empty

A combination of billet fittings and AN lines for an upgraded and serviceable crankcase vent hose. Attaches between the oil separator and the CSL air box.

The factory hoses offered by BMW are plastic and will yield the same results of becoming brittle and damaged over time.

We have created a full motorsport-style solution with our CSL Crankcase made from machined 6061 billet aluminum with AN-style fittings and nylon fiber braided lines. This is a fully serviceable replacement that will outlast every one of the OEM replacements. Our AN crankcase line can be used to replace the factory brittle hose to ensure your S54 is free from vacuum leaks and performing properly.

This tube runs from the oil separator to the lower dipstick tube.

BMW has an ongoing issue with oil separators freezing in cold weather if driving is done before the vehicle is fully warmed up. There is often a howling noise followed by numerous oil leaks. The crankcase breather valve is used to purge the oil vapor from the engine block into the valve cover. However, sometimes condensation can cause it to freeze, causing the entire oil separator system to fail, crack, and disintegrate.

Replace this and all the other components of the oil separator system to prevent damage to all the aspects of your engine. As long as you have everything off, you can rest assured that new parts will last and be reliable.
