EGR cooler - anyone had one break??
Discussion
I've had the emissions light come on ( 35d engine )and after investigation it turns out that a metal pipe on the back of the EGR cooler has fractured. Just enough to show on a smoke test, but not enough to have the light on all the time.
Hopefully it should be covered by the warranty, as I dread to think what it would cost to fix.
Has anyone had any experience of a similar failure?

on my E61 535d i had my egr cooler fail on the autobahn. White smoke pouring out the exhaust as it boiled all my coolant. Luckily i stopped in good time and managed to convince ADAC to send a flatbed straightaway. Dont remember any warning lights from it. I changed the part for a used one on ebay. It took longer to burn off all the coolant in the exhaust that it did to change the part
that's paid for the warranty this year.....There’s no coolant leak on my car, just the fume smell, which looks like it’s either underneath or at the backside of th cooler where it bolts onto the engine block.
I also noticed that once warm, my idle feels slightly off, it’s no smooth, has a sort of small kickback to it, very slight I must add, the rev counter doesn’t move.
Fuel economy is fine and so is the performance! Just the smell that isn’t fine.

I am over in Suffolk, outside of Ipswich. I am going to buy the item and swap it over myself anyway, at the same time I can give everything a clean at the same time then.
I first thought it could be a crack in the manifold, but I don’t “think” the F30 N57 engine suffers from that unlike the E9x and E6x?

FYI
Just received my 335d back from warranty work for low coolant.
Parts replaced EGR cooler.
I didn't know what an EGR cooler was, number one on google got me here !
Incidentally also had Air con condenser replaced, main battery, and corroded rear wheel. Not bad for a 2 year old car ;-(

Hello,
The EGR Cooler on my 2013 330d developed a crack after approx 3 years old. It was subtle so I didn't notice it, drove it for months like that. Actually became quite sick before my Partner helped me spot the problem.
I had an extended warranty so the replacement costs were covered, I had to fight BMW to do further checks on the car though, smoke tests etc. Not a helpful bunch.

My 116d F20 was losing about 1 litre of water every 100 miles over the past three weeks. (And I havent been able to get the same mpg over the last month - down to 50 mpg from 55 mpg). I put it in to the garage today for repair and theyve told me the EGR Cooler has cracked and as the car is under warranty there is no problem regarding replacement.
Just wondering if there is any long term issues associated with this. After all, every day 1 litre of water has been leaking somewhere - where has all that water gone? Is it rusting the exhaust on the inside? Any other possible damage caused?

It's gone out the exhaust as steam/vapuour so don't worry about it.Just wondering if there is any long term issues associated with this.
