So there was a reason I got this 2012 BMW X5 diesel so cheap! It was hiding a $2000 problem!! The EGR cooler is shot, and this could cause a blown head gasket. Can we fix this for $250?

@projecteuroau Год назад

I’s critical that you follow the BMW torque procedure for the EGR cooler or it will crack fairly quickly. It’s a common issue on the forums! The EGR cooler gets super hot and unless torqued to the correct specs you or the new owner will have issues down the line. Google “M57 EGR cooler tightening procedure” to find the correct sequence and specs. Hope this helps! Like this comment so Randy sees!

@drivenserb7152 Год назад

Also randy these are known to have the thermostats fail in the open position. Run your scanner and if the temp doesn’t go above 77c you’re going to have issues as it won’t go into regen. Operating temp should be around 87c. If it’s not you need to do a thermostat.

@pepsiman2770 Год назад

Good you took the fan off. Saved a lot of time. Smarter not harder. 😅

@Michael_MJ Год назад

@Vetteman372 Год назад

I think I would have removed the radiator and electric fan to access the EGR, but like you, I most likely would have tried your route first and then say I should have removed the radiator after I drop the bolts or something important

@renamon1983 Год назад

Those "flappy bits" as you called them are doors that open when moving to allow more air to flow through for additional cooling, and when the fan starts in stop and go city traffic, the vacuum holds those doors shut so all the air is pulled through the radiator.

@jackhentges2179 Год назад

For BMW, at least my F10 535i, there are vents to allow the engine to warm up quickly and then they open at a certain point. Just canceling out air flow. At warmer temperatures mine usually stay open from what I remember.

@renamon1983 Год назад

@jackhentges2179 yep most newer cars have those front shutters to make the engine warm up as fast as possible cus when the engine is at running temp is when it's most efficient so the manufacturer wants it to get there quick, then they open to maintain the temp.

@DavidWeinberg-cm9xd Год назад

The electrical tape was a kinda good idea, Randy, but it will melt and maybe catch on fire?

@bungeycord5971 Год назад

Thats a strong possibility at the very least its going to smell bad melting.

@Mike.D.843 Год назад

@Jacqui.VanHam 3 месяца назад

That’s what I was wondering! It’s going into an exhaust that’s PRETTTTTTY hot. I’m trying to remove the EGR currently (to replace thermostat) and it’s seized at those T45 bolts 🤦🏼‍♀️

I had my F15 X5 EGR cooler replaced for free. Mine started smelling fumey, took it to the dealer and they have a recall. they did all associated parts in the fix

@eyalbarmitzvah 11 месяцев назад

You can use nail polish to stick the bolt until you need to turn it

@tomparsons3093 Год назад

It’s for exhaust gas temperatures to let the egr system know how hot the egr is getting and to control the burn off

@verderriscursey Год назад

Id keep that old part and see if the spring could be replaced or even welded or jb welded

@bmwf1152 Год назад

In Germany you get the egr cooler for free new from the dealer no matter if you bought it from the dealer or craigslist because it can leak and burn your car. Labor gets payed from bmw too of course.

@mediocreman2 3 месяца назад

E70 X5 35d in the USA had M57 and ZF 6 speed only. Also make sure your coolant temperature is getting up to 87 C. If not, or not very close to that, replace the thermostat.

@Randomeris1 Год назад

Btw, I would advise to check if the swirlflaps have been done, you don't want them failing and getting sucked into the engine

@drivenserb7152 Год назад

These ones are welded and don’t fail. Earlier bmw diesels did have issues though but this car is ok. However these get caked with carbon and the leak boost. If he was keeping the car I would say do the swirl flap delete but I mean it’s fine if he leaves it as is

So cracked my scull for a minute and wondered why aluminum bolts and answered my own question pretty quick. To save on weight for one and also most of the parts are aluminum I think the block is the only thing that is steel so the chemical effect as well between steel and aluminum would be not good so that’s go to be why

On my 2013 BMW X5 LCI 40d, the check engine light didn't go off after starting, so I took the car to the garage and they replaced the EGR valve, the light went off and fuel consumption increased by 2L/100km. I took the car back to the garage and they replaced the EGR cooler this time and after driving 5km the check engine light came on for the while driving! So looking forward to the 3rd service visit. This fun has already cost me $796.21🤑

@miceinoz1181 Год назад

Electrical tape eh? Bet that is fun when it all melts and the bolts cannot be removed next time without removing half the engine bits and radiator. I would use a small thickness O Ring myself. There is a saying that BMW engines are very easy to work on......once you remove the engine from the vehicle that is! And for me, I would be putting the V-Band clamp on before I tightened the two bolts fully.

Hey Randy, that would be the Nox sensor, they are not cheap either. Since you are in OK I believe you could have done an EGR delete-but it don't mater its done back to "factory" Just had mine done in a 328D 2014-BMW warrantied it.

X5 is not a basic SUV, this may be a bit older model, so it can be not loaded, ,but even 2nd gen X5 is a 5 series for more money in the dealer and just a nice SUV that handles fine and has the trunk of a 5 series, just doesn't handle as good as a 5 series car, but those are fency, even the 2nd X5 is a /was a luxury German SUV. I also like the looks of this X5 and a great spec of the next one is my favorite! This pulls and is so economical on diesel, we drive them so much more in Europe, wonder why in the USA it's mostly GAS, or to use the correct word - petro:)
