    BMW EGR help

    I recently had my 3 series BMW recalled as part of the EGR campaign (cooler replacement) , since having it back I have been having intermittent EGR valve faults (engine warning light and checked with diagnostic tool reads EGR valve circuit may be open ).

    I’ve rang BMW who advised they will look but charge £150 to diagnose and up to £250 if it needs work. With a possibility of goodwill if it’s linked to work they carried out.


    Anyone able to advise the likelihood of these being linked ?

    100%.

    The tech has to remove the EGR to inspect the EGR cooler outlet fins. It could just be a connector that didn't seat properly.
