Hello man, I own a BMW 118d N47 but stopped by on this video to tell you that I learned a lot more than I already knew and when I next go to the mechanics I will make sure I put it into use. Many thanks! I wish you all the best in future, subscribed.
I did exactly as in the video, I have a problem though with the vacuum hose, it makes a sound for a couple of minutes every time I turn off the engine. Can you help me with that?
HELLOGeorge, i had a split in the large intake hose that fits on to the EGRpipe, but when i started the engine after fitting new hose it was sucking the new pipe in, any sugestions, Geoff, ie super videos.
Good video But don't need to actually spend money on those red caps to blank coolant. You can just leave the original hoses and insert some big screw inside this is how i done it works perfectly
Hey🙂 I saw your another video,when you remove/delete the swirl flap from the M47...and now,I'm watching this one. Could you help a bit?: Have to delete the EGR+Cooler also,if already removed/deleted the swirl flap?! Many Thanks Your Help👋
Hi. Thanks for your tip, this video help me to stop the coolant from running through the exhaust system. But why is my car getting hot inside the cabin, and after i put on 20km or so then the car switch off
Yes you need to do that on some models. If you don t do it engine control lamp will turn on and you don t have full power anymore. On m47 from 2003 needs +40mg/hub fresh air...you can do this via tool32
Nice video and so helpful ! I cant understand what’s the difference between deleting egr . And deleting the egr and the egr cooler . I have an bmw x5 m57n and I love it I am planning to do the delete !

The kit comes with a small grub screw and a long vented grub, I can see you used the small grub to block the vacuum line. Did you screw in the vented screw into the threaded hole on side of race pipe or did you leave the threaded hole as it was?
After delete did i still need the prasure convertor valve ? If i can block the vacum before not after it ? Or i will get code and one more question i did softuare egr delete and psy delete and i get code for emissions 4501 how to remove it ? Thanks
George Sir, I've followed your very informative videos, my lad has an 320d 09 plate, he broke down, drivers side intercooler hose collapsed under load, have changed this, now found out egr valve broken, have changed this. Turbo turns very slight play. Car lacks power. Any ideas where to look. Appreciate its an unknown. Thanks
Hi, I have there e90 320d I've had the dpf out and deleted, egr deleted but not blanked, swirls flaps out and a stage 1, feels a little better but deffo not 206bhp like I got told it will have, should this fix the problem? Thanks
Hello there. After canceling the egr, downshifting started to be slower when it came to the slope, also the downhill engine brake does not work anymore, the gear shifts seem to be cumbersome, why?
Hello thanks for the very clear and informative video. After the work does the EGR delete throw an engine management light? If so I assume it needs to be coded out or mapped out?
If you having a sticky egr valve is it worth deleting? Plus can you do this if still got dpf still on the car or remove that aswell? My car is a bmw 730d on a 07 plate.
Yea. It will bring the EML on without a software delete. You can buy a cheap obd tool to delete the code just before an m.o.t and drive the rest of the time with the light on. Please be aware if you have a dpf it will need removing or else the car won’t do a regen with a faulty EGR code.
I know is an old video but - instead of complete removal of the system I saw someone used a semi-blanking plate on exhaust pipe with a 7mm hole - the goal was to reduce the amount of recirculation gas without triggering the check engine light and still reduce the temperature in combustion chamber - any experience with that?
Are those coolant blanks working? Did you have any leak? I want to delete egr in my m47 and i wonder is it going to hold. Do you think adding 2 part resin glue to those blanks would be good?
Do ya have to map it out? Or will it still run the same once blanked? I've blanked mine and since is running poor with code 1613 smooth running control with no other codes any help I'd really appreciate cheers
I installed an egr blanking kit on my m47 and it is blowing at the manifold blanking plate (should be a handy fix) but it's also massively down on power. Is this normal?
@@GeorgeAusters yes, it is vacuun controlled. Thanks for the quick reply. However, what were the other benefits? From what I understood from the video, a less thermostat to worry about, bigger space to work on. Are there any other? Also, can I put it back on (the vacuum hose) if I'm unpleased with the results,
@alinclaudiu4754 Yeah more space to work so less labour in the future, a thermostat that’s gone, EGR cooler that is prone to leaking gone, EGR pipe that is prone to cracking gone.
@@alinclaudiu4754 EGR esentially makes your engine eat it's own sh*t, basically increase the life span for it as it doesn't soot up the engine, intake manifold, exhaust manifold and valves.
I got my egr mapped out, now I'm looking to delete the egr cooler and thermostat. I read somewhere online that there were cars originally without an egr cooler, so it got me thinking is it possible that there was a return pipe without the connector for the egr cooler, but I can't seem to find anything. The only thing I could find is the normal version 11 53 2 249 779 and 11 53 7 802 630. As for the lower radiator water hose, I think there are two versions, 11 53 7 789 718 - with the connector for the egr cooler, for the second version I found two different part numbers, 11 53 7 787 916 and 11 53 2 249 779 - both without the connector for the egr cooler. If there is a lower radiator hose shouldn't a return pipe without an opening for the egr connector also exist (shown at 6:28)?
@@bandit12-- Found something. −E53 X5 3.0d M57 uses a return pipe without an egr cooler connector, the part number is 11532247918.

Hi mate,The car at the first start or if I leave it for a few hours it starts hard with a lot of bluish-white smoke and after it starts well, but it smells of gas, the gas cooler has a metal as a stop and I have the engine on, the car shoots well! HELP PLEASE!🙏
Hi George, A couple of questions please... So there is no need for any software mapping to avoid errors when deleting this? Also, I understand the MOT tester can't see the removal due to engine covers hence should pass the MOT, but are the emissions okay? MOT doesn't test of NOx but without the EGR isnt there more smoke? Does this still pass an MOT?
Can someone advise me, egr has been deleted and now engine temp is low, especially in cold weather, stays around 60c. Could it be the egr stat or is the main. And will i have to replace that. Advice would be gladly appreciated
@@GeorgeAusters so I've just checked and the guy who done it, has left the egr cooler with the thermostat still connected, could this be the issue. I'm so confused. My car is running in low 50s, checked on obc, never gets to temperature
There's no need at all to go through all this process, wasting time and money plus facings the consequences, (if you were to sell the car to someone or mot?) the egr valve is vacuum operated, simply disconnect the vacuum pipe to disable the egr. no eml will come on and if it did try to delete it with an obd
my compliments George, I also thought about removing it because I believed that the EGR was causing a malfunction on my N47D20C (240,000 km), during acceleration, only when the engine rpm reaches 1500 rpm, a net vacuum is created, as if the engine shut down for a fraction of a second. I thought it was caused by the poor electronic disconnection of the EGR due to sludge or carbon from the exhaust system, but now it is clean, like the two mass air flows: despite this, the problem remains as before. It could be a valvetronic problem, so now I would like to clean the two solenoid compartments and the filter compartments, but I can't find them! Do you know where they are located? Am I on the inaccessible side of the supply chain? If you have the answer, you would be of great help to me. thank's Andrea, from Italy
I threw away my bmw e46 320cd egr for 20 €. All that was needed was to egr delete the kit without ejecting the hoses and then to block the hoses with 18mm screws 😅

Hello George, please reply after deleting why is there a strong exhaust smell?
Love the video so far best egr delete video now keep it up

do you need to remap ? or it only needs to be fizical delete ?
The kit comes with a small grub screw and a long vented grub, I can see you used the small grub to block the vacuum line. Did you screw in the vented screw into the threaded hole on side of race pipe or did you leave the threaded hole as it was?
Did you buy the silicone pipe separately as just looked at purchasing the kit from your link and no mention of the hose.
Thanks What does the socket you connect to the turbo hose do?
After delete did i still need the prasure convertor valve ? If i can block the vacum before not after it ? Or i will get code and one more question i did softuare egr delete and psy delete and i get code for emissions 4501 how to remove it ? Thanks
Is it possible to leave all this in place but just blank it off so it doesn't cause problems with mot?
Had you cleaned your egr prior to doing this video?
What about coolant temps?I still have the cooler and the engine works at 56/60 degrees.I think that the EGR thermostat is gone.
Coolant temps stay the same
Where is the best place to map it after her removal and how much it cost
can you please send me a link to purchase the kit , your videos have taught me alot thanks mate

Removing the EGR makes no difference to the peak power figure, same with removing the swirl flaps
Hello there. After canceling the egr, downshifting started to be slower when it came to the slope, also the downhill engine brake does not work anymore, the gear shifts seem to be cumbersome, why?
You will have to get a tune that makes the car run like it has never had an egr.
Get it mapped out from the ECU.
May aswell remap it
