SITUATION
This SI provides a new tool and a new procedure for the N63TU valve seals replacement.
Please refer to the following applicable Service Bulletins before replacing the valve seals.
z

SI B11 07 11 - Turbocharger Failure: Oil Supply and Return Line Blockage and Proper Repairs

z

SI B11 01 13 - N63 and N63TU Engines: Engine Oil Consumption, Engine Oil Top-ups and Refill
Capacity

z

SI B11 03 13 - Engine Oil Consumption (all models)

z

SI B11 04 13 - N63TU Engine: Engine Oil Consumption

If the valve seals are leaking, one of the following will help determine if the seals should be replaced.
z

Smoke from the tailpipe when starting or aggressively accelerating and decelerating the engine in
addition to excessive engine oil consumption

z

Spark plugs fouled with engine oil and excessive engine oil consumption

z

Excessive engine oil consumption

All Vehicles:
On vehicles, where an excessive oil consumption between services is the only complaint, a
complete oil consumption test as described in SI B11 03 13, must be performed first before replacing the valve
seals.
On vehicles exhibiting reproducible smoking from the tailpipe when hot, additional engine
diagnostic steps (e.g. engine compression test, leak-down tests; inspection of the crankcase ventilation lines
and turbo intake/outlet tubes for excessive oil accumulation) should be performed and documented prior to
replacement of the valve seals, in order to eliminate other possible causes. Refer to the SIBs listed above for
important diagnostic tips.
Do not remove the intake manifolds to clean the intake valve carbon.

PROCEDURE
If one of these conditions is verified, replace the intake and exhaust valve stem seals using special tool P/N 83
30 2 450 434.

If you are using a Main labor code for another repair, use the Plus code labor operation 11 00 505 instead.
Refer to KSD2/AIR for the corresponding flat rate unit (FRU) allowances.
Work time labor operation code 00 50 000 is not considered a Main labor operation. Also, since the “work time”
FRU allowance to be claimed is specified, a separate punch time is not required.
BMW Maintenance Program
*If the vehicle has a “active” maintenance program and the “Engine oil” Service task shows “Recommended or
Due” in the Service status field or it “qualifies” to be performed based on the “60-day Bundling” procedure (See
SI B01 06 13), then:
z

Perform the “Engine oil” Service task, and

z

“Reset” the CBS data, then

See sublet reimbursement
calculation below

required operating fluids, including
engine oil only when it is not claimed
under the BMW Maintenance
Program (applicable BMW part
numbers). Please do not use these
part numbers for claim submission.

Sublet reimbursement calculation for claiming repair-related bulk materials (BMW part numbers) is at
dealer net price for the “used quantities” plus your center’s handling.
Enter this material cost in sublet and itemize the amount on the repair order and in claim comment
section.
Overlapping Labor Procedure – Other Repairs
If invoicing the KSD2 flat rate labor operation codes for other repair work results in overlapping labor, for those
flat rate labor operations that are affected, you can now:
z

Replace the stated KSD2 “FRU allowance” with a “reduced FRU value” to eliminate the overlapping labor.

For help in identifying the overlapping labor, please refer to the AIR FRU Plausibility Check (Overlapping Labor
Tool) that is located in the AIR Client.
Eligible other repair work being claimed under a different defect code will require separate punch times.
On the repair order and in the claim comment section, please identify and itemize those labor operations being
claimed with a “reduced FRU value.”
SPECIAL TOOL WARRANTY AND REPLACEMENT PARTS
The N63TU valve seal replacement kit is not covered by the BMW Special Tool Warranty.
The limited warranty is administered by All German Auto – see the details below.
The warranty period is 12 months from the date of purchase. In the event of a warranty or service replacement
part-related issue, please refer to the attached order form.
