L322 Has yours got an electric blanket

just replacing a few items before the lpg gets installed
That pcv valve is a barstool and the cyclonic oil thing is nearly impossible. Has anyone changed the pipe from this to the oil tube on the drivers side as it's a tip of the fingers job
Anyway. Mine does not have the electric blanket around the breather pipes
Is this normal on a l322 and only on bmw cars ?

Was only on the BMW from memory.....mine didn't have one but my 740's did! Popular in the colder climates aswell.

As for the little pipe.....when changing the cyclone filter, it is best to only remove the housing leaving the little pipe at the bottom still attached to the engine, else it is a sod to get back on.

I trust you have removed the pollen filter housing to gain access to the PCV valve, it is a case of paitience and lying ontop of the engine with your head wedged against the bulkhead and deft finger tip work I am afraid.

When the installer pulls it apart I will have the inlet off and change quickly
