How old is the car? EGR valves are very common....sometimes you won't even notice any loss in power.... |

Same happened to me a couple of weeks ago, was the EGR valve, replaced under warranty otherwise a £420 fix. The dealer did say the other one would probably go in a few weeks 2019 BMW X3 2.0i M Sport in metalic black- Brilliant

if it egr valve like mine was the aa on both times took less than 5 mins to find fault.! the best way was to feel the mesh pipes under engine cover,one of mine was cold and one hot,so thats how he found it.!! top tip,i had aa warranty repair cover,aa man talked me into it when joined aa.! glad he did as they picked up bill off £400 minus £35 excess.!! thats for just one,the other went soon to and they paid up again.! not bad as i only been with them a few months and only paid them about £25. result |

Mine was on and fault code was P0490 - EGRs. I got geared up to start replacing and disconnected the passenger side EGR electrical connector while having a look how tight things are - reconnected the connector and faulkts cleared - came back twice but has now gone after me playing with contacts in the connector - fault was just a contact not connecting.
