  • 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
If you had the job done at BMW, which you didn't...( neither would I for that matter..) they would now refund you for the cooler that was fitted...but you may struggle with that now...
