Owner Narrative
MY VEHICLE WAS MAKING A SQUEALING NOISE, WAS LOUDER WHEN RUNNING BUT SITTING STILL. TOOK IT TO A GARAGE AND VALVE COVER GASKET WAS LEAKING APPARENTLY. I KNOW THIS HAPPENS TO CARS BUT MY BMW IS A 2011 WITH ONLY 65500 MILES AT THE TIME.. COSTED ME 1000 DOLLARS TO FIX AND A MONTH BEFORE THIS THEY DID A RECALL ON THE PCV VALVE AND HAD IT TORE APART. MAYBE IT WAS SOMEONE'S MISTAKE WHEN REASSEMBLING THE PCV VALVE HEATER DURING RECALL AT BMW DEALER AT TOWNE AUTO IN WILLIAMSVILLE NEAR BUFFALO NY?? IDK BUT THAT IS LOW MILEAGE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN
