Default pcv filter infomation

hi all, i been getting lots of white smoke out my mgzt cdti so i have looked through some old posts and found that changing the pcv filter could stop the problem, i just been to a local xpart dealer and asked for a price on a new part, they came back to me and said they never heard of a pcv filter and asked did i mean a pcv valve, i am not sure on this so could anyone tell me if this is the same thing or not?? i got a quote of £96.61 inc vat

PCV = Pressurized Crankcase Valve

With the filter inside of it which collects all the gunky bits

Here's a fitting guide if you've not already found it
http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...d.php?t=108032

p.s. the fuel return pipe is the trickiest bit- but this can come off without taking it apart, making it much easier (the 4 x caps push in at the side & lifts off)

Default pcv filter

Can you fit a filter into one of BMW fit and forget units, the consensus of opinions states these units are not fit and forget and a filter is better.

No - you can only fit the BMW vortex/cyclone part which costs £23 odd, instead of the cotton tampon/loo-roll job.

You're right - it's not quite a 'fit & forget' - it needs a rinse clean in spirit every 60K.

I had a look at mine after 20K and it just had a smear of oil equally all over it.

The beauty of it is it cannot block.

You should have asked that Xpart dealer to look for part number LLJ500010A in his EPC ! £18.46 + VAT ( Item 16 on EPC page )

He quoted for the full valve assembly at £96.61 ( item 13 on EPC page )

It is on the same blinking page for goodness sake !
