I still dont think thats the root cause. If the ccv plugs you can low seals and ive heard potentially pop the valve cover, but not the manifold. > > Disa failure wouldnt cause it either. When they fail completely the motor usually eats the disa actuator parts and is dead. > > Carbon buildup is a likely contributor. As i mention before and was stated by others, if a valve hung open on a firing cycle…borrow or renta leakdown tester if you dont have one. Thats a test i would certainly do before anything else. > > Heyt least your getting proficeint at working on these cars now! I really appreciate your help , Adam! I’m going to wait for a warm day to go through it, my garage is full of old furniture and construction waste from my house. I just got the other intake manifold swapped onto it. I replaced anything and everything intake related. So far, it seems to run smoother, but it never had an SES light before. I can notice a considerable difference in the vehicle. My wife wants a new/newer vehicle anyhow. We’ve had it for 6 years. We may just trade it on a CPO Porsche Cayenne/BMW X5, as my wife likes (wants) both of those vehicles. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/bmw-intake-maniflod-exploded/268053)._
