@@BulletProofDiesel I had a very nasty coolant leak through the exhaust (BMW 320 CD e46 from 2004). After I went to the mechanic (which told me that i must change the head gasket) I looked for help on BMW forums and KZbin. I found you guys, and I thank you very much! Problem SOLVED! The oil breather ok, the head gasket i haven't checked because it would have been too expensive so I changed the EGR COOLER ( the rectangular inox thing beneath the EGR Thermostat) and the Engine THERMOSTAT. Guess what, problem solved, no more white smoke, no more coolant leak! Thank you again, and I hope that this will help other people too. Cheers!

I have an early model 04 6.0. >250000 miles Bulletproofed. I had white smoke and coolant leaking from the exhaust. (launched >12' @=>3000 rpm) I used an old dgas cap, clear hose/clear bottle for the bubble test. Bubbled fairly vigorously, stopping when I unplugged the egr valve. Did not start again when it was plugged back in, or for the next few minutes. Egr cooler failure, not head gasket, right? I pulled everything to get the cooler out for replacement and found a dummy cooler. Plugged at both ends. Coolant seems to have flowed through freely, but never exhaust. Egr valve was steam cleaned, with considerable damage to one of the o rings, but otherwise looks surprisingly good. I have broken bolts in the rear end of the exhaust manifold, and visible leaking from the point where the bolt broke on the driver's side. This is my first diesel. Without tearing more apart, how can I locate the leak?

I don't have white smoke out of the tail pipe and i'm not overheating. I'm getting a lot of pressure in the cooling system. Truck runs cold. Has no heat and then after about 5 miles, it finally starts to rise. It sits at 210 for a few seconds, the heat comes on and then up almost to overheat and then back down to about 120. Then I get the "low coolant" warning. Antifreeze is coming out of the reservoir and all over the side of the truck. I've replaced the thermostats. It changed NOTHING. I replaced the radiator cap and it was perfect for about a day and it built pressure worse than before. I'm at a loss... P.S. I originally thought it was the water pump because there was a leak coming from, what I THOUGHT was the weep hole. But it's higher than that.

so if you delete the erg valve by welding on both ends or some of theses other ideas i read on here do you still need a tuner with an erg delete?
@cgrobe219 жыл бұрын
Only to keep the check engine light from staying on. A tuner will not delete the code being stored it will only deactivate the light being linked with the code. The code will always be there. If you say I don't care if the lights on. That's cool, but it will make you blind to any other code that will be problematic to your engine that may need attention immediately or failure can occur. With the light always being on you'll always assume its just the delete. I'd suggest checking codes every week. If delete is what your insistent upon I heavily suggest you have a dealer level scan tool bypass the check engine light to the EGR valve code set. Take my advice serious. If your engine throws a code and is not seen too. Its possible that you can experience engine failure just from a a simple easy way out.

We have not experienced this type of warning on a 6.0L F-Series truck... that being said, an engine overheating situation can be caused by a failing/failed EGR cooler. If you have coolant loss and it is not leaking on the ground or external of the engine, then the EGR cooler may be the culprit.

Smoke like that on start up sounds like bad when. My assumption would be when the motor is shut down coolant is leaking back in threw the exhaust or intake and filling cylinders. If the eye is bad it can so take a set of head gaskets with it . Which is a COMMON misdiagnosis . If the edge is bad replace your oil cooler as well. As it is the most likley reason the get cooler itself failed . Buy a new cooler and install get delete . that's if the head gaskets aren't already mess up . The early years were worse for the gasket issue with the bolts stretching to much to fast . Tuners cause most this problem as well

When the EGR cooler fails, it can cause a hydro lock situation and not allow the engine to turn over. Obviously the EGR cooler would need to be replaced, then remove the glow plugs and crank the engine over by hand, this should allow the coolant to exit the cylinder. While it may be possible for coolant to leak by the piston rings - In our experience, an EGR cooler failure doesn't leak coolant into the oil.
