I was really dialed into your accent today....right up to the point you started chatting to your mate and then boom I'd lost you. However egr valve fix was a good one
For everyones info, nearly all later N47's and N57's have sticky EGR valves like this. Easy fix as seen in the vid, lub with high temp ceramic grease after decoking with brake cleaner and soft brass bristle brush. Perform the EGR service function in ISTA and follow the instructions (car needs to go to sleep twice) for E series
I have same error code: 4CAE Exhaust gas return controller position sensor, signal. Only my N47 is 2008 130kw with vacuum actuator. I've replaced pressure converter, because membrane was faulty. Also replaced egr valve with aftemarket one. But I'm still getting this error randomly. What to do?..
Hi I've cleaned my egr ( n57engine) and it looks work smoth, but still get 4CAE code, what do you mean (car needs to go to sleep twice), what kind of lubricant should I use? could it be a coper lubricant ?
@@aaronc.8393 Yes and no! The good news it that was definitely this part of the EGR that was causing the problem, the bad news was that I couldn't get it off so had to have a garage look at it - they broke it in the process as it was welded on - Great! They replaced it FOC with an older type but working EGR valve - not sure how I feel about it still months later but the car is still running fine. I have no idea if mine was caked on or if in the video above they used some kind of witchcraft to get it off!?!
@@hshelley419 Blimey! Well if that's the case no wonder it's not going anywhere. What a bummer. Thanks for the info, I suppose I shall have to do the same. Cheers.
Great video 👍
Pomogło. Dziękuję

@@strusful I've read on bmw forum. Bet problem is with egr sensor it self
@@aurimaslabanauskas egr sensor you mean another separate part, or integrated with egr valve selenoid?
@@strusful damn, its electric egr. I think you should use liquid for higher temps and little bit thicker to stick to moving parts
Very common good video
Hi!
Very useful video!
One question: how did you remove the EGR cover?
i have put in tested egr from x5 same part number but still getting error? any ideas 4CAE
what did you spray on the valve please i have exactly this problem even after I just cleaned it
The bottom end noise isn’t.. it’s the crankshaft pulley
Hi, I really need to get the cover off @6:37 but it's not shifting - am I missing a trick?
Hey mate, did you ever work out how to remove it? I've just come to do this myself and am having the same issue. Cheers.

Is Gardner your new nipper?? 😂😂
With what you clean that?
WD40
BMW petrol and Diesel engines shocking bad especially that n47 lots of unhappy customers with these.
Worst engine ever built by bmw. Probably done the timing chain guides
BMW make some shite, but the 1 series is the worst car I've ever worked on ! total garbage.
