How does a rough idle sound?? Mine just keeps moving from 1500 to 1700 . Up and down up and down

I wonder how many people have spent $$$$s replacing the VANOS solenoids but never checking these... probably a lot! Makes me wonder if you even need to change the solenoids either... Maybe just remove and clean them like this and keep the engine oil good and clean, should avoid all the expensive VANOS issues BMW engines are so famous/infamous for! This video could save people a lot of money on unnecessary parts! Very well done for showing us this tip 👌

My idle kept jumping up and down every single Red light and sometimes even turned off!!! I did EXACTLY this (my filter was DIRTY DIRTY DIRTY) and now it’s running brand new again!!! .. Thank you 🙏 god bless.

Did this solve the issue bud? Or did you have to fix something else?

Brooooo. You saved me thousands, the repair shop quoted me on some bullshit replacement.... these are the things ive done my self trying to solve the misfires, i replaced ignition coils,vanos solenoid,crank shaft sensor,new oil, new sparkplug, i even got the valve cover gasket replaced... and it sat there for 4 years... finally after watching this i did it my self this morning.. removing the front right wheel and removing the wheel well makes it a easier task! The bottom one had some particles, but the top nonreturn valve was filthy!!! I cant thank you enough!!!

The knowledge of the filters is very good.👏👏

After 6 months of chasing vanos codes and replacing parts for my rough idle I came across your video. Lo and behold I took them out cleaned them up, re installed and my car has the most stable and smooth idle! Was a little different for me as I have the n13 engine 116i. You are right there is not much if any information on these non return valves and how they affect the vanos system!!

Change synthetic oil every 5000 miles to avoid this problem caused by burned paraffin sludge. Thanks for the good fix video! I never knew those filters were there.

Thanks for covering this. My rough idle is not as severe as yours and does it momentarily on cold start ups. I already replaced my valve cover assembly, eccentric shaft sensor, ignition coils, spark plugs, vanos solenoids, cleaned MAF sensor, and changed oil to 5w30 instead of 5w40. I will be ordering new non return valves to replace them, regardless if they turn out to be clogged or not. Update: I replaced my non return valves today. I noticed both the motor and trans. were more smooth, so far. I only get the rough idle after leaving my car alone overnight, so I am gonna have to wait and check how the idle will be the next day after a cold start.

Sure nuff helped me out with the 08 528i. At first I had issues because I flipped the connections lol went back to look at the video and realized my mistake. Runs good. This is why I love KZread, just search and u can find. Edit Saved a lot also on doing my own starter, that went out again. First time paid over 1200 bucks at a dealership. This time paid less than 200 for the part. Gained valuable knowledge about this car. Also did the coils, sparkplugs, cleaned the various filters and sensors and whola, runs like new.

Rough idle can be caused by blocked engine crankcase breathers. The breather filters are built into the valve cover which will need to be renewed if this is the problem. When the engine is running remove the oil filler cap and remove it, if the cap is hard to remove or you hear any 'sucking' noise as you remove it then you have a breather problem.

If rough idle it's correlated with smoke when you floor it, check the O2 sensors, this was the culprit on my N52. Changed everything, vanos solenoids, coils, spark plugs, etc. Problem was Bank 1 pre-cat O2 sensor, NO check engine and NO fault codes...

Check your mass airflow sensor under your air box

AWESOME!

My 2007 x3 also chugs but has a really loud high pitcged squeal and does it all the time. Everything i found on it is that i need to replace the pcv vavle... which just so happens to supposedly be molded to the valve cover.. atleast from what ive been able to find out about it.. its creating a ton of suction and if i take oil fill cap off it stops squealing but will still chug just not as bad.. took it to bmw dealership and they said my valve cover is cracked.. didnt say where just that it would cost 2500 dollars.. there is no oil leaking tho. Which my dad a mechanic of u.s. domestic vehicle of 20+ yrs says there would be oil leaking out of a crack if there was one... there is some sensor on the top front of my engine that has had caulk rubbed all over the case and there was a bit of oil in the plug part of same sensor.. cant find what the sensor is to replace it tho.. for all i know that could be the thing i need to fix..

For carbon build up and such, WD-40 and scotch brite pads (the green ones) work very well.

Why does mine idle around 400? It seems smooth and fine. Still got the low down torque up high though it falls flat, I think that’s normal for these engines.

Mine was acting like this but worse but it was just bad gas I think they change their octane around at the gas station it was running like it was on 85 octane went and put more gas in it now she runs perfect
