General description of the PCV-System

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2008 BMW Z4, 2008 BMW X5, 2008 BMW X3, 2008 BMW 528xi, and 2008 BMW 528i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

There are 3 tubes connected to the engine: The first of them conducts the blow by gases from the cylinder head cover to the separator, where the oil is separated from the air and lead back by a second tube to the crankcase sump. A third tube directs the cleaned blow by gases via the intake system to the combustion. The pressure regulator makes sure that the high vacuum level between crankcase and ambient air will be reduced if needed.
