BMW 330i 325i E46 CCV Replace & Intake Removal DIY (Part 2) – Put It Back Together! P0171 P0174

Frustrated with those other CCV replacement videos where they basically tell you to fish those tubes through the intake manifold blind? Well in my video I go ahead and remove the intake manifold, which lets you get access to replace a lot of vacuum lines and other components, and in doing so I give you a view of exactly how to fish the CCV tube through the manifold and hook it to the oil separator so that you can SEE what you need to do clearly, should you decide not to remove it.

To see the video on how to remove all the usual suspects:

In this video I work on my 2002 BMW 330i.

I also clean the throttle body and idle air control valve, which really gave me a boost in responsiveness, by the way.

In this part I show you the various vacuum lines you can replace as well as the intake manifold gasket and I show you how to put everything back together.

Which consists of:
11617533400 – oil separator
11617533398 – valve cover to separator tube
11617533399 – intake manifold to separator tube
11157532629 – oil dipstick drain tube
11617504536 – intake manifold return tube

To get a set of the standard CCV components:

Which consists of:
11617501566 – oil separator
11611432559 – valve cover to separator tube
11617504535 – intake manifold to separator tube
11157532649 – oil dipstick drain tube

I recently just finished this job, but i have fuel coming from my injectors. Also get no crank over my car. Clamps all clamped to fuel injector only difference i can think of is my clamps aren’t turned in the same direction

Abhinandan Vasudevan says:

I dropped my DISA pin into the manifold, will try and give this a shot if i can't pull it with a telescopic camera and a magnet. Thank you @50sKid for giving me hope.

Shannon Jones says:

Forgot to say model and year 2000 323i

Shannon Jones says:

Opiti72 says:

Where is that ground cable that he mentions?? I don't think I have it in my car…maybe someone pulled off before I got the car…

Jan Pertl says:

Thank you wery much for this video. It realy help me!

Wayne West says:

what are the 2 coolant lines called underneath the manifold? Part numbers if you have them

Ted Smith says:

This series of videos needs to be enshrined somewhere. I recently bought a 2004 BMW 330i ZHP 6-speed with 140k mikes and have been doing a lot of preventative maintenance. Early on, I did the cooling system components on the front of the engine. But this past weekend, I did a bunch of stuff under the intake manifold: CCV, plastic coolant pipes, and starter. These videos were so helpful in showing well lit closeups of each step in both the removal and reassembly. Disconnecting the fuel line was a challenge, but it got easier once I realized it was secured to the back of the manifold in a bracket. Also, like some others mentioned, I found it much easier to reinstall the fuel injectors onto the fuel rail before inserting into the manifold. You can put the clips on the injectors and then snap them onto the rail. I went slow and took all weekend, but at the end, I said a prayer and then started the car right up. I never would have attempted something like this without these great resources. Thanks!

You can get the starter bolts with a 10mm combo wrench from underhood. The 10mm fits the Etorx perfectly. It's painfully slow to remove, and I kept a telescopic magnet handy for the dozens of times the combo wrench fell off, to the floor . But after, grind a slot in the starter bolt once you've spent 1 hour removing them from up top. The slot will allow you to use a skinny screwdriver to access that slot from the front side of the bellhousing. This is a trick I learned from working on Corvairs

Thomas O'Daniels says:

Your video is so technically detailed. From a real perspective of helping those who want to dabble and try to give it a go!!!! By any chance – have you experienced a direct fix to codes p1092 & p1093 as those 2 are mysteriously unanswered aliens even in the Xoutpost blogs…. The guy who can zero in on this direct fix answer will I'm sure become rich!!!!!!!!!

Layne Warburton says:

I am having a literal anxiety attack over putting this back together

Mikie Thor says:

I have a hose on top of the fuel rail… Don't know where it goes…. Looks like u don't have that hose on ur fuel rail.. Need help..

crazzy88ss says:

3:40 those vacuum plugs are like 2 cents to replace lol

Nathan Morse says:

I’m going to be replacing a few vacuum lines as you did, can I replace the whole SAP vacuum line or is there a reason you only replaced the small sections either side?

Hunter Lokerse says:

‘I just measured mine and I was 7 inches’ boy I hope no one takes that out of context haha

Bowdoc64 says:

I bought the car second hand. I hope you can help. My injector harness does not have the plug for the air temp sensor but my intake has a hole for an air temp sensor. When I got the car the sensor was in the hole nut to plug it but the top of the sensor was broken off. We're is the plug for the sensor located.. it's a 2004 e46

Hey 50's kid. I'm looking for a video for BMW E46 vacuum hoses replacement, I'm asking you to send me it's tittle.

Hee 50's kit.Thanks for the videos, they're very helpful.

Adam N says:

I did this job just last weekend. Much less daunting job for the future now. Unfortunately rough idle wasn't fixed, but I did swap out the plastic coolant hoses(one had a tiny leak).

Mr. Recruiter P says:

At a 131K, it will be time to replace the CCV tubing soon. Excellent tutorial but not looking forward to this job, lol. I just received the DISA rebuild kit and will do that as a preventive maintenance project.

Marty Meyer says:

Please continue to name things as you go. It's so very helpful when you can't see everything, including the vaccum line into the dipstick tube.

joshua raglin says:

Just did this job with literally zero experience, and the cold weather ccv removed manifold took about 8 hours, terrible!
