Detailed Description

The Gates Emission Control Hose line focuses on replacement hoses that match OE dimensions and connection style for emission and crankcase ventilation service. EMH288 is built to replace the original crankcase breather hose between the valve cover and intake tube, helping restore proper crankcase ventilation flow and emission system operation on BMW 120i, 220i, 228i, 328i, 428i, 528i, X1, X3, X4, X5, and Z4 applications listed below. This part cross-references BMW 11127588417 and Rein ABV0200 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Cracked or brittle breather hose material
• Oil vapor leaks at the valve cover-to-intake tube connection
• Improper crankcase ventilation routing
• Emission system fault conditions related to hose deterioration
• Vacuum leaks caused by damaged hose ends or connectors

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the hose routing, end style, and connector locations before installation. This hose uses push-in ends and is molded to match the OE path, so correct alignment at the valve cover and intake tube is important. Confirm whether the vehicle is equipped with an electric heater where noted in the fitment list. Inspect adjoining plastic fittings and seals for wear before installing the replacement hose.

Gates manufactures this hose as an OE-exact replacement for emission control and crankcase ventilation service. EMH288 is engineered to match the original application requirements for supported BMW models and restore the intended hose connection between the valve cover and intake tube.
