My car is a 2009 R55 Clubman S 102500K miles

This may seem obvious but just need some confirmation. After replacing the air filter this code came up: Pressure Control Deviation 2885, and the car went into limp mode. After I checked out where I was working on the car I noticed that the line to the PCV was cracked right off. The rest of the piece is stuck in the hose. I must have broken it off and not realized it. When monitoring boost and vacuum I noticed that at idle vacuum was 15 in/HG instead of 22,23 in/HG. My Boost is 1.0 psi. So the question is, would this line being cracked and broken off cause the Control Pressure Deviation 2885 Code? Also what is the part called that the hose attaches to?

Thanks,

Frank

 

Ok so after I posted my issue I went back and looked around for other possible issues. One glaring one that I did not show was the intake hose. It is cracked and when I pulled it off to see if maybe the seal was torn the rubber boot came out. So that obviously has to be changed out. Secondly the air line to the waste gate for some reason was wedged between the coolant line to the turbo and other vacuum line. I could see that it was flattened out. I took it off and re-routed it so it won't be crushed anymore. I will test it out tomorrow when I go to work.

BTW the car runs fine. Not stuttering, no stalling, runs smooth. Starts right up. So hopefully I fixed whatever I messed up. No I was not drinking at the time, haha

 

Glad to hear that its running well again!

That cold weather intake may reduce the coking on intake valves....

Be careful with that intake hose....it can disintegrate and send bits into the turbo vanes....requiring a turbo rebuild. Many of us replace the OEM pipe with an aftermarket unit, silicone or metal (Alta in my case).

 

Bugeye1031, Thanks for the info regarding the intake hose, I'll keep an eye on it until the new part comes in. I'm going to stay with the stock intake hose for now. I got it from FCPEuro.com for $77.
I drove it to work and home with no issues. Probably the vacuum line to the wastegate or maybe the intake hose wasn't as snug as I thought it was and it was leaking.

Still would like to know what that part is called the the PCV hose attaches to. I would like to fix it.

Thanks for you advice! Here are some pics of my Cooper S. His name is Rocket!

 

The vent hose on your car does not look original. It should be just a hard plastic line covered with an antiabrasion sleeve and connects the valve cover to the intake manifold.

Maybe you have an OCC installed?

 

Nope, his is original. That is the set up referred to as the “cold weather manifold”.

Yep thats the cold climate version that is now nla.

 

Thanks to all who identified the part for me. I think bugeye1031 was the first person but it didn't dawn on me until everyone else chimed in. Yes the intake was replaced around 55K. I bought this car from my friend and have all the service records. I remember reading about the intake and shaking my head thinking how does water get in the intake. Anyway it was replaced and while it was off they walnut blasted the intake valves.

So now the question is: How important is it to replace that broken part. Pelican Parts has the manifold for $35. The car is running excellent. Not sure I want to mess with it. What is the car not doing by having this piece being broken. I have put the line back on. It's just not airtight. Can I cover the openings up?

Thanks,

Frank

 

I'd take this as an opportunity to install an oil catch can between the outlet from the valve cover and the inlet to the manifold.

The reason for the cold weather manifold is water vapor from the pcv system condenses in the throttle body and can build up and freeze.

 

Thank you for mentioning the OCC. I have been considering it.
Do I need to worry about the broken part from the PCV hose to the PCV rail?

Thank you,

Frank

 

ECS sells the block off plugs. Install these whenever you install the catch can.

 

Yep, info here on the Genuine MINI Block off plug mod https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...-question.html

 

Not sure where you are with this Frank, but as long as the connection from the valve cover to the intake manifold is leak-free, then you're okay.

Did you decide to install an OCC?

 

I just checked all the vacuum hoses and found some that were spongy due to previous oil leaks. Got about 3 ft of hose and replaced all the hoses in the engine. Now the car runs much better and no 2885 code anymore.

 

Outstanding! So you didn't use the MINI hose (P/N 11-65-7-570-465)? Very cool.

 

 

Just did this with this guys instructions and his kit. Step by step is spot on. Hot side oil seal was blown and probably triggered the 2885 Boost Deviation code. Among other things such as replacing all the vacuum lines. Did not take the whole turbo out. Just the cartridge. Super easy. Just time consuming. Worth the 50dlls investment if you have a 2885 code. Also, do the vacuum lines.

 

the name of the hose is breather hose
