{"product_id":"bmw-crankcase-vent-hose-1","title":"Original BMW Valve Cover Breather Hose with Sensor, N20\/N26 Engines, for BMW 2, 3, 4, and 5 Series, X1, X3, X4, X5, and Z4 (2012–2018)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Original BMW crankcase vent hose connects to the valve cover on N20 and N26 four-cylinder engines. It carries blow-by gases out of the crankcase on 2012–2018 BMW 2, 3, 4, and 5 Series models, the X1, X3, and X4, the X5 xDrive40e, and the Z4. Blow-by is the vapor that slips past the piston rings into the crankcase. Without a vent path, that pressure pushes on the engine seals until they fail. The hose is sold as a single piece and includes the sensor. BMW calls it the vent hose, and production of this number began in March 2011.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn these cars, the engine code is what selects the hose, more than the body style. BMW's data ties this part to the N20 and N26 engines across a wide spread of chassis: the F22 and F23 2 Series, the F30, F31, and F34 GT 3 Series, the F32, F33, and F36 4 Series, and the F10 5 Series. It also covers the E84 X1, F25 X3, F26 X4, F15 X5, and E89 Z4. In a breather system, this line feeds pressurized crankcase air to the oil separator. There, oil vapor drains back to the engine and the rest of the air is burned through the intake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: BMW (genuine part)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: 11-12-7-588-417\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW part name: vent hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnects to: valve cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: sensor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine codes: N20 and N26\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction start: March 2011\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of manufacture: France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as: one piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 24 months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Tuning Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plastic connectors and securing clips on breather hoses become brittle with heat and oil exposure.
