Received a letter from BMW: PCV valve warranted extended 15 years/150K miles

cfm56d7b · 11-18-2023, 03:35 PM

Did anyone receive a similar letter? This is a notice of a component-specific warranty extension.

My vehicle has 47K miles and PCV (engine crankcase pressure control valve) continues to operate normally.

I've seen 3 threads so far about it for 40 series cars.

got my letter on saturday. purchased in august.

Same here. 2018 340i xDrive.

Mine was actually replaced by the dealership last year.

Could this be the cause of my not being able to fill the gas tank without clicking off every few seconds?

This seems to be a widespread problem. I have the F32 430 IX 2019.

No. The PCV is in the valve cover. It won't affect the fuel filler vent loop.

dpwct · 05-17-2024, 02:20 PM

Why am I having trouble filling the tank at a gas station? It clicks off every 1/10 of a gallon curious with the fixes and whether I can do it myself and I was also wanting to know if this warranty would cover that

2019 430i

Billfitz · 05-17-2024, 10:52 PM

The PCV warranty won't cover a problem with the totally unrelated fuel system. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankc...ilation_system

dpwct · 06-26-2024, 02:01 PM

What is the most likely problem I cannot fill up except extremely slowly. If I go regular pressure on a gas pump, the pump stops thinking the tank is full when it is not at all.

2019 430i

I’d like to bring it to my mechanic, but save hours of exploratory work

You'll have a lot better luck getting an answer by starting a new thread instead of tagging on to one that has nothing to do with your problem.
