CyberMage Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I need advise with the following codes. Despite taking my vehicle to BMW stores, no issues were found. The car operates flawlessly with no power loss, and the MPG remains same. However, the engine management light persists. I would highly appreciate any advice on this matter.

nimbuye5 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Install a new exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) device. Inspect the electrical connections leading to the EGR temperature sensor or substitute the sensor with a new one. Alternatively, configure the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve to remain closed at all times inside the engine's electronic control unit (ECU) software.

blueWING007 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Will reprogramming the electronic gas recirculation (EGR) system to remain closed have the same effect as completely removing the EGR system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimbuye5 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Our methodology This modification ensures that the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve remains closed at all times, preventing any exhaust gases from re-entering the intake system. Additionally, the engine's Electronic Control Unit (ECU) continues to detect the presence of the EGR valve, allowing the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) to still undergo regeneration processes. This method eliminates the need of removing and reinstalling any components for the purpose of fitting blanking bungs. I have seen issues with the diesel particulate filter (DPF) failing to regenerate after firms have disabled the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system by installing blank bungs.

blueWING007 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 When I acquired my f30 seven months ago, it operated well; nonetheless, the engine light persisted in illuminating. I had the vehicle inspected and it was found to have air mass issues. However, the technician assured me that everything is functioning well. Subsequently, I began to observe an audible air wooshing noise when experiencing a boost, and this issue has gradually intensified over time. I took my vehicle to BMW this week and they diagnosed a faulty EGR cooler. Additionally, one of the hoses connected to the cooler is also damaged. Upon careful examination, it seems that the EGR cooler and the associated hoses are susceptible to malfunction on the F30 model. I recommend having the unit inspected.

ENVIOclev Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Upon reading this, I am really questioning if BMW intentionally incorporates inexpensive, unreliable materials in their cars that are susceptible to failure under the consistent conditions of heat, vibration, and mechanical stress, fully aware that they would likely malfunction in the near future. Are they engaging in this behaviour to ensure that their dealerships continue to generate revenue from post-sale transactions, or is there another motive behind their actions? They have been involved in the car manufacturing industry for a significant period of time, gaining expertise in producing vehicles that are built to high standards and using durable materials that can outlast their competitors by 5-10 times. However, my confidence in their approach was shaken when I heard the CEO of BMW state that the company's focus would shift towards cost reduction and maximising profits, rather than prioritising unit sales (especially after being surpassed by Mercedes-Benz ) People mostly choose BMW vehicles for its rich legacy, exhilarating sport driving experience, and exceptional engineering. However, it is worth noting that BMW's quality and dependability scores are quite low compared to other brands. I am questioning whether it is intentional that I am convinced there should be complaints and rebellion from the owners. Even Hyundai or Kia, once considered inferior, are now leaders in the industry. If they can achieve success, I believe Germans can as well. However, it seems that they have ulterior motives, as evidenced by the gas emissions case. The actions of BMW, with their cars consistently failing, are simply a display of ignorance that should not be tolerated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOOLCAR Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 It is possible that it is only a matter of chance. My stepfather has had two F30s since they were brand new. The first one was a 320d and the second one was a 318. Both cars have been driven for over 100,000 km in a span of three years and have seen few issues.

ENVIOclev Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Is this issue still occurring, even with the introduction of new models? I am experiencing frequent malfunctions with my e92 335d, primarily caused by the utilisation of inexpensive hoses and plastics. This leads me to question whether BMW intentionally incorporates these unreliable materials, which are susceptible to failure under conditions of high heat, vibration, and mechanical stress, with the knowledge that they will inevitably break down. Are they engaging in this behaviour to ensure their dealerships continue to generate revenue from post-sale transactions, or is there another motive behind their actions? They have been involved in the car manufacturing industry for a significant period, gaining expertise in proper procedures and selecting durable materials that can outlast others by 5-10 times. However, when I heard the CEO of BMW stating that the company's focus would shift towards reducing costs and maximising profits, rather than prioritising unit sales (which Mercedes-Benz surpassed), it confirmed their strategy of selling attractive cars with inexpensive mechanical components. People mostly choose BMW vehicles for its rich legacy, exhilarating sport driving experience, and exceptional engineering. However, it is worth noting that BMW's quality and dependability scores are very low. I am questioning whether it is intentional that I am convinced there should be complaints and a revolt from the owners. It is noteworthy that even Hyundai or Kia, once considered inferior, are currently leading the market. Therefore, if they can achieve success, I am confident that German car manufacturers can as well. However, it appears that they have ulterior motives, as evidenced by the gas emissions case.

ENVIOclev Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Indeed. I get the reasons behind the underperformance of those 1 turbo diesel engines. Engines with a capacity of 2 litres tend to have a longer lifespan compared to 3-liter diesel engines equipped with 2 turbochargers. This is mostly due to the fact that these engines were designed for distinct purposes and operate under varying workloads. Individuals who purchase 18d and 20d engines do so with the intention of acquiring a fuel-efficient means of transportation. Conversely, those who choose for 300bhp engines are often seeking a dynamic and high-speed driving experience. This rationale applies to both diesel and petrol engines. Based on the dependability rankings I have seen, BMW is ranked last, with the M5 being one of the least reliable models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimbuye5 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 The primary issue that BMW faces is the outsourcing of its components to the most cost-effective manufacturers. On F series automobiles, I have observed that the metal used for some sections is much weaker, resulting in quicker wear compared to earlier versions. The durability of the electrical components on the current versions is not as good as it was on the earlier ones. In addition, the biggest dealers have challenges in retaining their experienced technicians who have been employed at BMW for more than 7 years. They then hire individuals that lack knowledge on how to operate on a BMW, much alone how to reattach components to the automobile in the same manner they were removed. I own an F10 M5, which has been excellent overall. However, I have had difficulties with my local Berry BMW dealers, who lack the necessary expertise to address warranty-related issues. Consequently, I have had to resolve these problems independently. Berry BMW exacerbated the issues with my vehicle due to their lack of proficiency in reassembling components and properly securing them after removal. In addition, I had to instruct them on how to rectify issues that were inside the warranty coverage, which they claimed to have addressed but never really addressed. That is why they have been ranked as the worst major dealer in London. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
