Well ,decided day off work and good weather i'd do the pcv valve, so all was going well until trying to undo torx bolts on pcv,bloody things are made of cheese anyway visegrips eventually got them out and slowly prise it off,only for the very bottom hose to fall off,got a spare just in case so all is going to plan. Talk about gumped up pcv and pipes,definately needed changing. Struggled to renew oil separtor pipe and bottom pcv pipe but job done. Was going to start to put back together and remembered Deasy recent thread on his pcv and how oily the inlet manifold was and decide to check with a mirror and to my horror the f***ininlet vent pipe was broken,split at pcv end and completely broke at inlet end. So the question is, is the vent pipe a 2 piece pipe or one piece and can it be inserted from inlet manifold end with pcv alredy on. Looked in rave but it looks 1 piece but bmw sites say 2 piece.Some pics off problem
