Also, I'm interested in what exactly is changed with the replacement parts, if anyone can find out, ...I assume its a new fixed design of EGR cooler going on the car. |

Perhaps the new software is emission related? Deleting cheat software maybe!

Funnily enough, last week our 2014 530dGT gulped a load of coolant and the cabin has been whiffing of diesel fumes since. Going through cooolant max to min marks in a few hundred miles, so I reckon the egr cooler has shit itself.

I had a long chat with the Service Manager at my dealer yesterday. Seems the process is :
Strip the EGR cooler and visually inspect. They are specifically looking for signs of coolant inside the cooler, and coking. Depending on the inspection of the cooler, they may then remove the EGR and inspect that as well. Depending on the condition of the cooler and the EGR they may also remove the inlet manifold and the throttle body for inspection. If the only cooler needs to be replaced, its just fitting of as new part. If the EGR needs to be replaced they should be able to do isolated coding and not wipe other ECUs in the car. They want the car for two days to make surer that there's sufficient time. Personally I'm hoping for at least a new cooler and EGR. The car has done 80K miles and I'll be amazed if there's not substantial soot/sludge/coking in these components. Mine is booked for 17th October, due to loan car availability, so I'll let you know how it goes.

I had my EGR replaced under warranty about a year ago, so presumably it won't be too coked-up, but I will see what they decide to do. |

I rang my dealer on Saturday to see if my car is affected (2013 330d) - they told me it is and I'm booked in for this Friday. They didn't mention how long it would take but I am getting a loan car from them too.
Timing seems to be quite good, as I've just had to top my coolant up at the weekend, so suspect mine will be a definite replacement - as well as the fact my car is on 122,000 miles and out of warranty. Looks like I might lose my remap, but will see what happens... |

Mine is due in on Thursday this week for end of Warranty check and the recall. On Saturday i dropped by the dealers and sat with the Service Manager. I asked if the recall would involve a full software upgrade as I had coding options. He said yes. I twisted a bit and then he told me to hang on as he was going to tell me for certain. He got my reg and went onto the database. He then said that my car would not need the EGR valve replaced and would just need the EGR cooler done, which does not require a software reload. I asked him if he was sure and he seemed absolutely certain, showing me the screen which flagged up just the cooler for my car. He said only vehicles which need the EGR valve to be replaced would need the full software upload. Its strange that he thought you could tell the work involved by the car data and the Service Manager (Watsey) is talking about above thinks that you would only find out what is required after an inspection. So mine is 335d build May 2015, just before the LCI I think. When I go in on Thursday I am going to hand them a note explaining what was said and that under no circumstances do they do a full software upgrade. |

Its a June 2013 330d. I dont have a remap so would actually want the cooler and egr to be replaced whilst its under a recall. Guess will have to wait and see what happens. |
