Replace CCV on an E39 1996 523i

Recommended Posts

Hello my friends,

So what I thought was a cam positioning sensor fault has actually turned out to be a cracked CCV unit (crankcase ventilation) - it's completely cracked off so a whole bunch of air is rushing in - apparently telling the ECU that the cam sensor is failing.

Couple of questions -

- Will I be wise in getting this from a wrecker? (I want to sell the car soonish) apparently they clog up?

- Is it a DIY job for the basic guy with average knowledge?

- Has anyone done it themselves?

- Any words of wisdom?

Car is a 1996 523i E39 (M52).

Cheers,

Luke

yes tricky to do with the manifold on ,

but pretty easy to get the manifold off.
