Extending the warranty on the EGR valve? Not a particularly expensive component.

konijay · 10-31-2014, 07:10 PM

It says "engins's Throttle Valve for EGR"...

SpeedyDiesel · 10-31-2014, 07:35 PM

I got this today also, very interesting. I wonder what is really included in this extended warranty for EGR valve. Seems like it should include more.

kbsilver · 10-31-2014, 09:21 PM

Throttle valve and egr are two different things. The throttle valve shuts off air to the engine, I think in the event of a diesel runaway.

I have the throttle value changed the other day under CPO. Carbon buildup was the cause apparently.

Got the letter too

I have a 2010 335d built in Oct 2009. Here is the letter

lazyninja87 · 11-02-2014, 08:10 PM

got this letter today also

cptcrunch · 11-03-2014, 10:37 AM

Heres hoping for an extension on the entire system. My tank is leaking again!

335dwanted · 11-03-2014, 10:57 AM

Seems that only owners of 2010 MY are getting the letter; anyone with 2009 or 2011 MY get the letter yet? If only 2010, does anyone else find this odd? I have seen no evidence that the EGR/Emission systems are different year over year.

Hoooper · 11-03-2014, 01:51 PM

2010 model here also, 9/2009 build date. Got the letter. What is this about though? Of all the parts that we have reports of consistent failure, this isn't one of them...

Chief Orman · 11-03-2014, 03:25 PM

Got mine on Friday...I also have a 2010. Hopefully this is just the beginning of the acknowledgement of a flawed design.

Chief Orman · 11-03-2014, 04:13 PM

I called the dealer. They had not heard about it. They also checked some sort of BMW database while I was on the phone and it had not been posted. According to the SA this is not unheard of.

remlemasi · 12-08-2014, 12:14 PM

2011MY, 10/2010 build, no letter

Hoooper · 12-08-2014, 12:24 PM

does the collective brain trust think this is their way of covering CBU up to 10 yrs, 120k without explicitly saying CBU cleaning is covered? I cant figure any other explanation since the EGR valve itself is not a common issue

dixy2k · 12-09-2014, 07:08 PM

I had two of them replaced already. They are not covered under the emission control warranty.

Hoooper · 12-09-2014, 08:43 PM

Before, during, or after a CBU treatment or totally unrelated?

dixy2k · 12-10-2014, 08:56 PM

If you had to ask me, it was related to CBU. The dealer replaced a lot of stuff on my car,but never said anything about CBU.
1000 miles later it was diagnosed with CBU.

Hoooper · 12-10-2014, 11:52 PM

That makes sense. I think a few people reported EGR codes when their CBU was starting to surface.

Can we make a sticky of typical codes that point to EGR/CBU?
