Just done mine. Quite an easy job. Used a paint brush and just blew the inside of the valve. On the part that comes away a stuff bristle brush is better. Just to add an important part you will need a FEMALE star drive socket to remove the EGR valve head.
Hi mate, do you still own this Mini? I'm asking because I recently pulled the wires off my MAF sensor connector & I was wondering if you could tell the order of wires using they're colour, or even take an image & post it for me to view. I know the first 2 wires are orange & then yellow/green. If you can help me, thanks. Mark
@@TKhouseofcars Update. It was bad egr. Replaced whole thing. I had error cc id 31 and yellow engine light, engine was also running rough and didnt acclereate normaly (obd scanner showed error p0401 which means probably egr) This update is meant for other people with this problem so maybe it will help someone. Anyway thanx.
I just replaced thermostat housing, water pipe, then my turbo cooling aux pump… now no more coolant leaks, but it’s overheating!!!! Fan kicks on high, do you think this EGR is my new problem??? Thanks
Hi mate it sounds like you’ve had an expensive time with this car recently. I would check other components to do with cooling system such as radiator/water pump etc before jumping to others personally
Hi. I have the same 2007 mini cooper diesel. Thanks for your video, it was really helpful. In my car, I saw that there is dirty inside all the egr system and tubes until the end of that metal tube on the left. sorry, I don't know their names. Would be possible to do a video showing how to clean all the lot? Cheers.
Sorry I dont have the car any more but from what I remember there wasnt too much to detach from the pipe there and looking at it now just seems to be a few clamps to take off
Thanks for your reply, mate. I will have a go. my concern is the metal conections between egr valve and egr cooler. don't know how to dismantle that...
Raul Végar Plácido I would definitely disconnect the battery and map out the job. I always make a plan before I go into something unfamiliar. Good luck and let us know how it goes if you can 😊
Absolutely brilliant buddy. Massive thanks for this. Exactly what I needed. I have the same car 2010 but need to do the same job. What did you clean it with? You mentioned Carb cleaner? Did it fix the issue?
Thanks 😊 Your comment made me feel making the vid was well worth it! It was just standard brake cleaner nothing extra special. It sorted my issue out totally.
@@TKhouseofcars you are more than welcome buddy. Your video is 100% what I need to do with mine. Just watched another video from someone using Mr Muscle over cleaner to clean it. Came up like brand new 😊😊
@@TKhouseofcarsnot necessarily, they put their own N47 engine in the diesels after 2010, and it's notorious for its array of expensive to fix issues (so maybe you are right)
Sorry buddy my videos are more focussed at people who kinda know what they’re doing already. More of an informative vid than a guide. I’m sure theres other ones if you check again. Thanks anyways
I can't believe I've really found exactly what I needed))
Thanks man!
Finally gonna do this operation with my Mini.
Silver Stone no probs at all pal. If you need any help just let me know. Good luck with it

Did it make much difference?
What codes were you getting that made you think EGR fault?

Did you remover the egr valve out of housing, or clean it inside.
Matty Timmins I did take it just to do a thorough job. Worth it when you get to that point 😊
hello my engine cuts out while driving, I don't have an engine light but I'm told that it's possible that the egr valve could be dirty!!! THANKS
@@viana6301 wouldnt hurt to have it cleaned but ur issue could be due to a number of things. Have u had a diagnostic?
Hi

Hi no it wasnt from what i can recall tbh

Did you disconect your car battery before doung this job
stadia 8k its worth doing but I didnt

Have to say I never heard of Mr Muscle being used but if it works why not 😊 If you need any kinda info further feel free to ask
i think this is my problem thank you so much
Hope it works for you. Feel free to ask if theres anything i can help with. Thanks 😊
Is this for a turbo? Gas or Diesel engine??
Turbo Diesel engine pal
Didn’t realise that mini have the same engine as the Peugeot and Citroen………..
Yeah BMW cheapes out

I might blank mine off and also get the dpf mapped out
Do it mate. Its the way forward!
A crappy video because its not showing chronological what to do. Suddenly its just removed 1000 pieces
