2. Since I drive the X5 to work every day and the job is only 15 miles away (not enough to burn the condensation), I use a Vacuum to suck milky stuff that may be accumulating in the CCV. I can tell it is clean when i see black oil coming up the tube.

See pictures below.

I hope this help.

So, how often do you do this after the initial cleaning?
