PCV engine bay fire

[DSCOFF]

Thanks.

I'm glad BMW did you proud, but there must come a time when they stop doing that. My E90 is 14 years old now, and neither of my 2 had more than a couple of services at BMW dealers which does seem to affect their genorisity!

I wonder if it's possible to just disconnect the wires to the heater? And if so, whether that would cause any issues.

My car doesn’t have a full BMW history...

Not sure about that disconnection -prior to the incident, to me it was just another cable.
But hoping there is a ready solution.
Although our cars are ageing: For most of us, they are still our pride and joy.

Slightly related to this thread. Any help welcome. Has anybody replaced the pcv on their z? And was it expensive? My bmw garage says its part of the rocker cover and to change it is £300+ just for the cover. Not sure about that? Any suggestions or pointers to threads welcomed. Zfourever

What engine do you have?

Mr Tidy,
I don’t have the technical knowledge to answer that.
But suspect any changes could result in fault codes.
As this is all about emissions.
We seem to have some talented forum members, who may have a better feel for this...
