E46 BMW 318d Oil Breather - Should I change it?
Discussion
Hi all
Interested on your views on this
Car
E46 318d on German plates.
200,000km
It does do lots of stop start journeys
But also alot of the milage has been done sat at 100-110mph.
So it does get an Italian tune up on a regular basis.
For Engine/Turbo longevity would you replace the oil breather

On one hand - If it aint broke dont fix it and it also takes a bit of work to get to it. And the engine is used and pushed hard so it less likely to get clagged up.
But if changing it means that I am far more likely to see 350,000km out of the engine - they I may well go for it
What do you think? Leave it alone or replace?
Thanks
(I have already replaced the fuel filter at 190,000km)
