Question PCV Diaphragm

I have a 2014 Countryman Man S All4. I was at my local dealer and they said I need to replace my PCV Diaphragm as I have 55k miles. I did not have it done as I wanted to research it first and see if I can just replace it myself. I cannot seem to find the part for the R60 anywhere online. Does anyone have a link to the diaphragm?

Don't think it would be replaced by mileage. More than likely on a failure.

Part of the Valve Cover https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...r/11127646552/

Our CM has 65K and dealer never tried to sell us on a new one.

Get yourself a second hand one and remove the diaphragm from that to replace yours. Be aware the clips that hold the cover on are very fragile and prone to breaking so use a pick and be careful.
There are diaphragms available new on Ebay from Russia.

I guess if I order a new diaphragm from ebay, then there is no need for a second hand one. This is probably the best route for me as there are not many mini's laying around as parts vehicles here in Alaska.

Has anyone here ever replaced this diaphragm and made a tutorial? If so, any tips/how-to's would be so helpful....In the mean time, off to youtube I go.

It would be great if you post your experience if you end up going that route. I’m keenly interested as this could be way to save any one of us a few bucks sometime, as opposed to replacing the entire valve cover if it comes up in the future
