CCV Oil Separator System for BMW Z3 (1996-2002)

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.

When your CPV O-ring fails it causes a slow oil leak on the passenger side of the engine, making an oily mess that frequently resembles a rear main seal leak. Replacing the CPV with an upgraded o-ring ensures a long-term solution to this common problem. 

The factory o-ring over time fails from heat cycling and oil exposure due to the Buna rubber used in OEM o-rings, while the included Viton Fluoroelastomer is resistant to a much higher temperature to ensure prolonged life without leaking.
