BMW EGR Valve problem, identification and solution - solved
This is quite common problem with modern Diesel vehicles these days and that's EGR valve. In this case it's BMW X1 18XD with only 25K miles but the EGR valve has already played faulty. In most cases it's only a question of cleaning the valve as the debris from exhaust gases accumulate around the piston that is part of the valve causing issues when EGR valve needs to close or open. EGR valve is non-serviceable part and you should buy a new one, but in this video I am showing you that you can actually service it or clean it to bring it back to life.
Demounting is fairly easy, but for installation you need to use diagnostic device and re-tract the valve by -20%. If you will leave it open and will force it to install with help of the 2 screws on the side, you are in risk of bending the piston and creating damage that will result into purchasing new valve. Therefore I highly recommend to use diagnostic unit when installing this type of EGR valve.

    Getting this replaced by the dealer under warranty for the second time in two years. Is it just a battery that doesn't recharge properly? I'm just curious of what I needed to do if this happens again outside of the warranty. Above the SOS button and easy to remove with a couple screws would have being a much better design. It takes the Dealer an entire day to replace it but you said 40 minutes which is terrible on their part, fortunately I got a loaner each appointment. Thanks for the Video.

    I typed these words in 'paint spraying booth inside van' because I was looking for a portable solution. I can go to a customer or spray incognito without anyone being any the wiser. This is similar to how I would create this space but I worry about the solvent effects on the door seals perishing and going hard. Sprinters are known to be real rust buckets and have to be heavily modified to live in like shipping containers. I like what you have achieved, not many would have your knowledge and patience to attain these results. Thank you for sharing your troubleshooting of negative air pressure because many are not as humble as yourself and would skip those issues. I thoroughly enjoyed this film and has given me an insight into what I would like to achieve. I have subscribed to your channel and liked this excerpt. Looking forward to viewing more of your creative skills. All the very best for the future.

    READ THIS, it will save you 12 hours of work!!!! You probably struggling same as we all did, you tried to follow the steps and it's not coming of whatever, plastic melts and glue is not! They short answer you are not applying enough heat! Now notice, hes got a heatgun setup so it's always blowing - DO THAT! Get gloves! Bake in oven your headlight for 25 minutes for 100 degrees celclius - NOT NECESSARY, AS GLUE WILL HARDEN VERY QUICKLY ANYWAY! Heat the cover more than the plastic! Try not to touch plastic, just slightly prime in one area, and heat, heat, heat, the bloody cover will melt and WILL BE FLIMSY - Keep doing it and TRY TO PULL, IT WILL WORK. Dont give up and apply more heat in right place! Ideally it's 3 man job, one holding, one pulling VERY HARD, one heating CONSTANTLY! Once its out use 🔥 HOT SCREWDRIVER to remove the glue inside! Patient, slow and confident! Good luck!

    FYI Changed the battery on my 2018 520D Touring, pleased to say that on the estate I just moved rear window rubber in centre at rear down to get to the headlining, 2 pop in clips ,gently ease open using wide flat blade screwdriver and ease down a few cm Then just unclip the 2 speaker covers in the roof which is luckily just to the rear of the battery compartment, gained access from RH side speaker hole, so pretty simple in comparison to the saloon I guess because of aerial position.
