Ordered this kit a few days and will be doing the install myself on my bmw 320d lci (N47) today. Just a heads up the kits has been tweaked slightly so the brackets that hold in the bungs/plugs are different but will still work attaching to different bolts to secure them. Many thanks to you George, awesome and informative content keep it up.

[@cogitationescaecae1125]

I drove to Barnsley before yesterday, after hours, to check where the Darkside development is located. It was evening so I didnt speak to anyone about my car... but their business does look legit I must admit. Big unit with all these good looking off roader's outside and enclose parking for serviced cars, everything outside tidy and in order. Looks good. 👍

[@S4Fireblade1]

Hello George, nice video! I blocked it right on the 23mm stainless pipe that delivers the exhaust egr gases into the admission manifold when I did the swirl flaps removal. Also cuted out the egr difusor that was blocking about 10% of the air inlet.

[@GeorgeAusters]

Thanks man.. I think it's just much easier to remove the whole system if you can. Makes access in your engine bay much easier!

[@SDanielMub]

i like the introduction, most mechanics don't do this.. thumbs up.

[@GeorgeAusters]

Glad you like it as a lot of people don’t 👍🏻

[@p4ndasr0ck]

Looking at buying BMW, but on my 1.9 TDI VW the intake wasn't bad at 200k miles, however I did blank the EGR and noticed a slight improvement in MPG, nothing otherwise noticeable though. I thought the part was faulty but turns out i was other sensor for the turbo... also I would think at MOT on the BMW it would be obvious having it located at the front of the engine.

[@DjTavy]

JUST ORDERED THE KIT! GREAT VIDEO! THANK YOU!

[@GeorgeAusters]

You’re welcome!

[@WeRemainFaceless]

Forgot to mention that it needs coding out too, else it’ll likely throw a CEL and if ran over time will prevent DPF regen, resulting in a DPF failure.

[@madfrosty5228]

Just a tip Turn the electrical connectors so they face down before cable tying them so the water will not fill them up and sit there or even better seal them to keep them dry and clean . Remap it’s a must after this the engine will run hotter after this mod !

[@garethb7741]

Hello sir, if you delete EGR just with EGR blanket plate, DDE will give a error : "Fault in the exhaust-gas recirculation" and your turbine will we always bypassed (open, no boost pressure). I will advise you to do a diagnose scan, just to see if any code is active.

[@dangreen5985]

Great video. I’ll be doing this when I get my 325d N57. So the EGR system is exactly the same for that engine as a 3.0 N57? Thanks.

Very well done video. i def enjoyed it and i will get the EGR delete done. Cheers

[@leehodson6843]

[@amentia666]

I just ordered the delete kit myself now. I’m in the middle of removing the engine to do a timing chain replacement after the middle one snapped, and once I took the intake manifold off I decided to look for a video with instructions for EGR delete, and I found it. Thanx! Not much damage as I can see so far. 3 or possibly 4 rocker arms are broken. Both the cam shafts are undamaged. The valves I don’t know yet, but I’m pretty sure the rocker arms are «the weakest links» so any other damage is purely bad luck. This is an X3 btw so its also needed to remove the front drive shafts as they are going through the sump and the diff is also mounted to the sump. It is a hell of a job especially since it is the first time for me doing this kind of work. I will get some help replacing the chains and setting the cams in correct positions (have the tools already). Hopefully the engine will be good for many years to come. Btw, will the emission change so much that it will be illegal to drive with after the EGR delete? I am considering for the check in September to just use some strips to mount the EGR valve and cooler for them not to see that they are not in place. They normally dont look under the hood anyway, but just in case, I’ll do it.

Hello George. There is some part under the egr valve on the egr cooler thats vacuum controlled. Do you know what is it for. If it is sone sort of flap do you think that disconecting that vacuum line will block exhaust gasses even if the egr valve is active. Make some video of it if you can. Regards

Hi I’m thinking about removing my egr does the dpf have to be removed if removing the egr or can you leave the dpf in

[@johnspartan5612]

Great guide

[@ahmed3249]

I tried to clean the egr, but I did not do the resetting bit. The actuating arm would get slightly stuck when pushed to open the valve, but seemed to get better before putting back in. After driving for a while, 2 erros showed up 255C00 and 290900. Is it because I did not reset it or is it because the valve was getting slightly stuck open? I also have a question about my dpf (main reason to be cleaning egr), so I tried go regenerate it from 54.99g of soot, but it would reach 45.99 and stop there. The average exhaust temp was about 450-500. Eventually it got to 45.80g when exhaust temperature increased to about 550°C, but it was hard to maintain that temperature (speed limit) and soot levels returned quickly to 45.99g. I used a dpf cleaner aditive in full tank, but not sure if it helped. Whats your advice on this one? All the requirements for a regenerations were met. Coolant, fuel, exhaust temp and no fault codes

[@dangreen5985]

Hi George, grey vid thanks. Can I ask something, if I delete my EGR and map it out, will the fact I haven’t deleted the DPF, do you think that would cause any problems? Thank you.

[@mooauto2388]

Does it improve the reliability?

[@nickbarne3832]

With the vacuum blanking plug I installed it on the port on the main vac line at the back of the engine bay. Have you had any overheating issues as I have heard n47 needs as much cooling as possible I haven’t had any issues

[@patrikdaniel9379]

Hi mate if the egr has block or to much messy inside u can los power ? Is that’s right and sometimes is drop gear and slow power ?

[@UrbanCha0s]

How did this effect the MOT for emissions?

[@8thomas3]

Hey bro, thanks so much for this video. Been getting a 40e9 code on my 320d N47 and came across this video. Seriously considering doing this but some people have told me I'd need to reprogram the ECU as well? I have no clue when it comes to cars but think I'm brave enough to attempt this haha. Thanks in advance

[@GeorgeAusters]

No problem Tom, glad it helps! It’s best to get your ECU remapped yes, get the EGR switched off and the engine tuned at the same time for more torque and power

[@axelmackowiak1236]

When it's done is it possible to get some defaults on the dashboard or the car is going on degraded mod?

[@garyhewson7091]

George. Thanks for the video it helped me to do an intake strip and clean on my F10 520D with the N47 engine. I also removed the EGR and the troublesome EGR cooler (which can leak and start an engine bay fire). I used a similar kit from Darkside too. My question is I now have the check engine light on, does the remap actually remove this warning and what should I be looking for in a company that provides this service? Many thanks.

[@GeorgeAusters]

Appreciate that Gary! A remap alone doesn’t clear the EML, you need to ask them to switch off the EGR at the same time👍🏻

[@nalinbranden]

Hey Gary, did you check what was the code when the engine light came up? P0401 or anything else?

[@dracopotter8623]

What about yearly check emision ? Red or Green card after the check.

[@soothingsounds7083]

Hello, great video guidance, will it pass MOT? I drive BMW 2 gran tourer and got an intermittent EGR fault, want to remove and forget this bloody thing. Thanks

[@jpich85]

Hi mate what would happen if you do the delete by don't get it coded out right away? Thinking of doing this as mine is leaking but don't know where do go to get it coded out. Thanks

[@NilanWeerasekera]

Hi George First of all thanks for the great work 👍 If remaped to delete the egr the throttle response will be the same as blanking it?

[@mxyz6888]

It will be the same, however the egr cooler pipe will get filled up with crud and carbon from the exhaust gases and crankcase breather, because there will be no gasflow trough it to clean it since the egr valve will stay shut.

[@Giancarlo-ol2mu]

Hi, I have a BMW 120d E87. A few days ago I only replaced the EGR valve. I noticed in your video at 8:02 the big pipe that brings air to the turbine has a fan, as I have your same engine in support I noticed that my pipe doesn't have that fan, I would like to point out that it is original BMW. Do you have an explanation?

[@monkeytutz2]

Great video George, I'm becoming a fan of your channel. Could the same results not be had by either making up a blanking plate for the EGR inlet and closing the flow of gas through the valve?

[@GeorgeAusters]

Same performance results yet but there are many benefits to completely removing the whole system

[@pierreheck5637]

Darkside Developments write this on their web site: The EGR valve should NOT be removed on vehicles that still have the DPF Filter in place. Doing so may block the DPF as the EGR valve operation is a prerequisite for DPF regeneration.

Does it make sense to make this on a m43b19 engine?

[@Toastmanpat]

Can you tune out/blank/delete the egr valve without causing issues with the dpf? I'm interested in doing this to my e82 but some places say if you remove or tune out the egr you have to remove the dpf as it uses the egr for regeneration.

[@GeorgeAusters]

Apparently the DPF will get more clogged with the EGR removed, how true this is I don’t know... however if you’re doing motorway journeys for the DPF to get hot enough then you should be fine👍🏻

[@user-kl7sr5wb2o]

Hi, might sound stupid but is there an easier way to stop the egr functioning without taking it out?

[@mikkelschler1288]

Is it not possible to disable the operation of the valve - thereby achieving the entirety of the benefit with the exception of the weight loss? Seems that would be an easier implementation (and also easier re-instatement if you had to).
