Literally took a picture of this connector yesterday while chasing a parasitic drain on an X1.
The water pump sits below the PVC. When they age, the PCV leaks straight into the connector and shorts it out. As with all older BMWs, everything is also covered in oil.
Their last recall fix was to literally put a plastic boot that snaps on around the connector. It’s not waterproofed or anything, it’s just supposed to prevent some of the water so it doesn’t short out.
Here’s the little boot.
And here’s the connector without the boot (and some scuffed electrical work from the recall repair).
Will definitely be taking this in for the recall repair again.
