[QUOTE="jaleeks23, post: 437816, member: 8431"] YES!...I just got that item changed, posted in one of my previous post (air valve) = pressure valve..it's oil separator.. Symptoms 1) Rough idling especially in the morning, you find the engine a bit shaky. 2) Sometimes, you need a second crank to start the engine because the first crank, engine starts and dies. Infact, we thought can save cost a bit, so took out and serviced, cleaned the unit, worked 2 days and then white smoke started to come out whenever I start the engine after running. So, had to do second time. White smoke at point of starting. Phulamak, mine looked like diesel engine for the first 30secs or so (this quite severe) Cost of replacement about Rm200+. While at it, may check on the plastic hose (item 1) that connects to the unit because mine cracked too and got it changed too at the same time, Rm100+, if I'm not mistaken, all ori as I see the BMW logo. Now, smooth....................... [/QUOTE]
