The EGR unit I located front right of the engine.. stood looking from the front of the vehicle...

There is an exhaust feed to the valve via a metal 1" pipe..... where is the start of this pipe, as I got a blanker from E-bay to fit on it ???

regards to all.
Grant.

You're not fitting one of those bypass EGRs are you?

Hi,
Fitted an EGR by-Pass, blanked the exhaust feed....

the verdict =

Much less smoke, a small increase in power, a tiny bit better MPG too & less junk under the bonnet too.
Added to that, I fitted a plug in remap device with excellent results to add.

I'm planning on removing the swirl flaps soon too, before they drop off and get ingested by the engine...

im sure that the e53 diesel engines dont have swirl flaps fitted. 

They don't.  It's the only version without them.

Hey X5 West,

Please could you give me some links for where you bought the blank and plugin map from.


Thanks

my old 2001 330d with manual gearbox also didnt have them fitted whereas the autos did apparently.

Interesting because our 2005 E46 330Cd had them (until last month) wasn't available in an auto.
