I asked for paperwork and they said because it's warranty work there's isn't a invoice they can give me. I was hoping anyone with technical know how would see from the pic and tell me. I can see what I suspect is the egr valve looks like it has been replaced too

Looks like a new egr cooler to me. Correct, a new valve comes fitted to it.

I did exactly this when my rack was replaced under warranty, doesn't have to be an invoice. After all they must produce some paperwork for it! |

That EGR valve is certainly different to the one on my 30D. Looks like they've replaced it.

You are lucky to be in the UK! US dealers have no EGR coolers for the recall. My local dealer says their technical service bulletin says in big, red letters "no repair possible at this time." My cooler is leaking exhaust badly, which is picked up by the air conditioning system - I need two windows open to drive the car.
I just bought a used cooler from the UK on ebay. |

I've talked with BMW USA twice and the local dealer several times - 4 calls and one visit. Not much help from either source - they didn't advise not to drive the car, they said they would call back with a loaner offer but forgot about it a day later, they made a service appointment when I visited in person and then cancelled it without telling me, saying when I called to confirm the appointment, that the cancellation was because of lack of parts. In the midst of all this I bought a '15 diesel Passat, figuring that with a 1.6 million unit parts shortage, the F30 would be undriveable for months. I was very grateful to find the used cooler in the UK. Last edited by Alcuin49; 12-13-2018 at 11:15 PM.. Reason: additional comment |

Waited for the parts since Jan,was told the valve would be replaced but the paperwork states only the EGR cooler was changed (yesterday) fair enough if this all one unit inc the valve why would they consciously use different terminology between the assessment and waiting for parts.

EGR Cooler parts STILL not available
My 328d has been at the dealership since January 15 - 3 months. They wouldn't accept if for EGR cooler recall work until January - it failed in November. No horizon for parts availability. No loaner car.
The used cooler I bought from UK was a scam - had signs of very high mileage and was not compatible with my EGR system. Paypal refunded my purchase price after the seller refused to accept the return. |
