Re: Does the 1988 750iL have PCV Valves? (archive)

David:
Yes their is something similar to a pvc valve on
the 750's, in fact two. I don't know what BMW's
name is for them, but I believe they serve the same purpose.
They are located under the eml motors on the front
end of the intakes. You will see a hose going to
the valve cover and one going to the hose from the
air cleaner to the eml's.
One test to make sure they are working is to take
off the oil filler cap and see if there is a vacuum, which I am told their should, per a BMW
mechanic. There are four valves total in the system, and replacement cost is about $100 for the
parts. Or you could try cleaning them with solvent. I believe the eml's have to be taken off
to get to the valves, however I have not done this
myself, but will in the next few months.
Good Luck
