I've had a letter today for a check / replacement of the EGR Cooler as part of a safety recall, as it states it could leak, causing;
Melting of the intake manifold and possible fire.
Symptoms may include;
- Low coolant warning
- check engine / drivetrain warnings
- Loss of power
- Exhaust smell while driving, whistling from engine
- smoke from engine compartment
I've just had my EGR fail, and replaced at an indy, not sure if that's separate to the EGR cooler, all I know is my EGR was stuck open so I had power loss and engine light on.
The letter doesn't state what years, models, etc. are affected, mines a 2011 640d.
Thanks
