Having the same egr issue. 4CAE - egr position sensor signal error thrown. Question is how the heck did you manage to get that black plastic cap off the EGR? I can only release the clip on one side, the other being rather inaccessible. Cheers! |

How did you manage to get the cover off? I've been trying for 2 days now and can't seem to make it come off, even though I pulled the 2 side clips to the sides.

if you have pulled the two side clips outs enough it will lever up.... i ended up cracking mine as i couldn't get to the rear clip....
other option is get some spray oil (thin) with a straw an poke that under the cover and spray away then drive around and check for codes after a day or two |

You need to pop the accessible clip out slightly with one flathead screwdriver, then you can get another very thin screwdriver in the top and twist it to walk the plastic off, the clip on other side will release without having to do anything.
The alternative if you have a very long screwdrivers is twist them into the release slots to bend out the retaining tabs and use another screwdriver in the top to get it moving. |

It says you have a 2013 X6, if so that's a newer version of the N57 and the EGR system is different to the one used on the E9X generation.
