Remove the upper engine cover, and it should be clearly visible on the B48. Above the manifold

Re: OBD II scanner indicates Error P1494 related to the evaporative emission control system.
That is the engine breather, not the fuel tank ventilation.
You are seeking a compact solenoid with an inlet from the fuel tank and an outlet to the intake manifold.
Which engine is it?

Examine the purge valve on the engine; if air can be expelled via it when disconnected, it is defective.

Re: Crankcase breather hose for 2010 BMW 525d N57
Thank you for your response, but where can I locate it? Is it located underneath that air pipe?
It is located just in front of the oil filler lid on n47 and is completely visible.

Crankcase breather hose for 2010 BMW 525d N57
Hello, I have opted to replace my crankcase breather pipe since it is an inexpensive, fast, and uncomplicated procedure. I have seen many videos, but all featured n47 engines, and the issue is located next to the oil filler cap. I went to do my task, but there are several hoses, and I cannot locate ...

Re: The BMW N42 fails to start subsequent to the replacement of the valve seals.
Ultimately, it started with arid cylinders. I added two teaspoons of oil to the cylinders, resulting in a tripling of the compression. Three weeks of conflict, believing the task was inadequately executed, ultimately revealed it to be an unrelated problem to the repair. Gratitude to all

Re: The BMW N42 fails to start subsequent to the replacement of the valve seals.
Upon examining the matter, I believe the most probable culprit at startup may be the valve lifts. I removed them during the task, and they remained in a horizontal position for a day and a half with the drain hole facing upwards. Some may have leaked, resulting in a loss of fluid, allowing air to en...

Re: The BMW N42 fails to start subsequent to the replacement of the valve seals.
Indeed, with the curved section oriented upwards—there was an instance when it was positioned downwards—the timing is optimal, and the tools fit seamlessly without exertion, resulting in a tiny deflection of the exhaust shaft. It is evident that either the cylinder head is warped, which appears impl...

Re: The BMW N42 fails to start subsequent to the replacement of the valve seals.
Executing this procedure without elevating the cylinder head by threading a string through the spark plug aperture obscures the view of the valve seat. It is peculiar that several others have used this method without encountering issues, nevertheless all of my valves are inadequately seated.
