ccv break (could it be caused by moisture)
Hi
Just wanted to report my ccv issue
my car = 2005 530i (45K miles)
I had these symptoms a few weeks after some below 0 temps.
rough idle (shakes)
air hissing sound from engine that continues for 2 seconds after engine turned off
also "increased emissions" warning (service engine soon light)
I took it to a BMW repair shop (not dealer)
They said it was broken ccv valve
They replaced ccv and attached hoses, total cost $569
Approx $100 less than dealer would have charged here in Austin TX
I am surpised that ccv valve would break after only 45k miles but the car
is 5 years old though
Anyway drives much better now
