PCV valve

[gejettest]

Hi, 2009 X5 3.0si, changing valve cover gasket and others.
Tested PCV (built into valve cover) and will not hold suction.
All I've read is that it is not replaceable(must replace valve cover).
I've seen decent hacks on V8 X5's and they have a replacement.
Hard to believe with the popular 3.0 that there isn't a PCV replacement.

If there is, does anyone have the part number and where to buy?
I've checked all the major suppliers, Pelican, RM, FCP Euro, etc, NOTHING!

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Hi Henry

I have just seen this, have you tried www.realoem.com It is a BMW online parts list put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box that will call up your model. Then search if there is a part you should find it there. 

Agree with you seems nuts to not have a part??
