That website doesn't work /\
How does that repair kit compare to the Amazon/Ebay chinese jobs? Assume it's all the same stuff since BMW don't sell the PCV parts separately on diesels? |

You can get 'dummy injectors' for pretty much all CR diesel engines to fit onto standard testers, which aren't too expensive.
If you can get a borescope small enough to fit through an injector hole, it would be a good time to check for cylinder scoring. |

Just had a different Indy specialist do an inspection for me and they believe the PCV has failed. Quoted £900 for a rocker cover replacement.
He said there’s also a tiny bit of play in the turbo but that’s likely unrelated to the oil consumption. Decided to go down the aftermarket route and have a go replacing just PCV and see how I get on. Wish me luck! |

The pcv is next to impossible to take off without breaking the clips on the cap. You get a replacement cap in the kit for this reason.

Which one did you use? The Ridex one? I might do mine as well for preventative maintenance.
https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/...7-430-d-xdrive Mrbensam, it's worth replacing the plastic breather hose whilst you're there (also on that link above) as they are notorious for snapping in half if you so much as fart in it's direction. |

Just done the PCV repair and as expected every single tab snapped on the old cap when removing it.
Not convinced this will be my problem though. There’s no tears or obvious damage to the rubber diaphragm. Indy said they done a smoke test and something else to confirm it was a failed PCV. I guess I will just have to monitor oil consumption for now and potentially get them to re test it with the new PCV. Is there anything else related to the PCV inside the rocker cover that may have failed? Don’t want to just start throwing parts at it. |

The old diaphragm looks gunked up and you might find it feels stiffer than the new one.
