Bmw 535D M57 M57N How To Blank & Delete EGR Valve & EGR Cooler System Delete

in this video I show you how to blank and delete a common problem on the M57 AND M57N Engines which is the egr stopping up and clogging the whole system in turn causing lack of power putting extra strain on the engine and the turbo since this delete the turbo spools up ALOT quicker and it also makes the engine idle alot smoother BEWARE removing this you will need to take this car on a good thrash to clear unburnt carbon build up my best advise is when removing to make sure you clean all ports and manifold before installing the blanking kit

Thanks for uploading, great help. You come highly recommended. I'd suggest slowing down a bit though - blasting through it in record time like you've got somewhere else to be is great if you've done it a bunch of times as you clearly have but idk what pipes you're pulling out and dont have much chance to register what you're undoing at times because it's all done so fast. Also couldnt see what you're doing half the time because the headmount was misadjusted

[@mickcherie1]

I agree and slow the head movement hopefully in his future videos i feel sea sickness coming on a minute into the dismantling. cheers

Hi BMW Doc, do you need to do egr delete on the ecu? Would that need a remap after egr deletion? Thanks again for the video Doc!

[@ajmal779]

Excellent video I just noticed my turbo is whistling maybe my turbo pipe is not on properly on the bottom

[@BMWDoctor]

not always a whistle will be because of that pipe turbos whistle aswell as they get play in the turbine on the turbo and it sometimes means your TURBO is failing

[@robingill8855]

Won't you need a remap? Surely if the EGR is blanked, once engine is warmed up it will set a 4501 fault code because MAF reading will be too high?

[@fredrik3863]

Thanks for the video. I have the 35d in my X5 and just hade the EGR mapped out and will soon do the EGR blanking and swirl flaps delete. My charge pipe is soaked in oil before the intercooler. My turbos sounds all right with no surge or whistle. In another video you talked about the crankcase breather membrane that dissolves with time. Can this affect the oil mess at the charge pipes?.

[@BMWDoctor]

Yep exactly that mate that is what the oil is doing as it can’t seperate it properly from beeing clogged it goes back into the manifold and straight into the inter cooler in turn flooding the turbos with oil and chucking oil all over the engine stay tuned as I’m doing a tear down of this engine

[@XIXjlo]

My car is having problems with DPF. I believe it has stopped doing a regen after two attempts. The swirl flaps have been removed and blanked off before this happened and I’m starting to suspect that the EGR has not been blanked off too. Code 00452A keeps coming up when plugged in, DPF warning light has stopped popping up on iDrive after second attempt at regeneration. Fuel consumption is slightly higher than usual. I’ve had the DPF replaced, the airflow sensor replaced the glow plugs replaced and I’m starting to loose confidence and my temper with the mechanic. The same problem and code with DPF still exists. Oh not forgetting to mention the amount of money I’ve spent. Does the EGR have to be blanked off too when swirl flaps are removed or is just a EGR software manipulation to trick the computer.

[@THEG12EG]

I have a similar kit but it has a metal gasket.. seems to be leaking at the gasket should I remove you don’t have one

[@sohailawan3572]

Good videos i had seen, after deleting EGR need to coding? N47 f10 ?

[@rogerhind1365]

Thank you for the video above. I have experienced intake manifold carbon buildup and an EGR cooler fault code: 4873 (EGR cooling ,plausibility) which I tried addressing with an EGR valve clean and then a spring replacement on the cooler, to no avail. Still getting occasional check engine light and code 4873 when in city stop and go traffic after running vehicle 30 mins on dual carriage highway.NB -engine coolant temperature is unremarkable reading 87-89 deg. C. On an M57N2 engine (2009 X5) can you delete only the EGR system , or, is it required(best) that you delete DPF, SCR due to clogging of DPF?

[@vladito80]

What about the MOT? Do you delete the DPF also?

Hi doc, Had my egr delete on 530d last week and followed all the steps from the video except removing the oil line. After I blanked it the car use to much diesel and I noticed that when I’m driving and releasing the throttle my rpm goes down and jump up fast, and it’s accelerating intentionally if I release the throttle. And I don’t get any low down power like before. Need some help!

Do you need any remap after doing this

[@jakesingh6905]

Do you have to remove the whole kit or can you just blank the part near the shutter valve. The kits they sell on ebay for my e53 3.0d on a 2005 suggest you can just blank and not remove the full cooling system.

[@BMWDoctor]

yes mate you can on E53 its the same as E39 all you need is the blank OR just put a screw in the vaccum hose that goes to the EGR valve mate as you dont need to actually remove it that vacuum hose controls the opening and closing of the EGR valve

Hi! Your videos are very helpful and interesting. I have '05 E61 525d, a did everything like in video, but now I have some problem with turbo. Between 2100-2500 rpm i have poor boost pressure. I made a chart i TESTO, and it is visible in actual charge pressure and actual MAF. Is it possible that it is becasue of egr deleted, maybe I should remove EGR from ECU? After few days, ECU detected that is something wrong with EGR and showed fault in DDE. Sorry for my English ;)

[@shirayluo2213]

hi ：does your bmw 535d have dpf Some people say ：that removing egr will cause further problems with dpf. Must be removed together What do you think about this

[@T-omi]

I was told same thing, that DPF must go out as well when you want to delete EGR. I think that EGR is needed to artificially raise engine and exhaust temperature to perform sucessfull DPF regeneration. I was told that I can do it as cheap solution when my DPF goes to hell or when I would want to remap and tune my engine remove DPF and EGR at the same time. You must code car to not expect recirculated volume of exhaust gasses to be present. When I tried just to blank vacuum tube and disable EGR this way, my car responded with engine light to come on and EGR error in Engine management module.

[@srjack100]

How does the ecu know that the egr has been taken off when it only runs off vacuum? 🤔

Here in 2024... still no clue as to whether this is a good idea or not the "remap" is gonna cost any amount of money and I'm not even sure there's anyone willing to do it here in Aus. I'm not too worried about getting nicked for it it's more what series of issues and towing from one garage to another that may follow. Mines high mileage but just about the only straight clean n tidy manual in the country. Hours of research and I still dont know if I should despite wanting to by a wide margin!

I would remove the remap before you end up with your gearbox going out And then what I would do is remove the EGR AND SWIRL FLAPS and then get that just mapped out ONLY and remove the remap trust me the gearbox will go being remapped i HATE diesel with remap I don’t understand it if you want fast car why not just go M5 ???

No mate it cannot do not listen to that crap the reason bmw put them under torque is for safety they tried it at higher torque and it ripped out gearboxes I would remove that remap All the things you hear about how FASSTTTTT they are remapped let me tell you there poo poo mate that’s why I would rather stick with my petrol If your having to remap a car to get power then there is no point in having that car that’s the only reason people buy these but please understand when I see them at lights and I’m well respected at shows and KNOWN highly on forums As I tell everyone if you having to remap a diesel for power and you can’t just go buy proper M5 something is wrong with your pockets or bank account I look to have E60 M5 on here after Xmas as that’s what I’m getting next If I was you mate do away with the remap and enjoy it standard failing that sell it and get something better like a 335i twin turbo petrol or 540i or 550i As there isn’t gonna be anymore diesels on here mate so we’re not gonna be able to communicate properly If I’m honest as I tell all the guys from the U.K. these videos don’t earn me enough to warrant and majority of my subs are USA and they pay me the highest and biggest so I do everything mostly for them That is why nobody did diesel on here as it wasn’t worth it no money to be made it’s all the poor country’s like U.K. and Eu that watch only
