It’s a Cob

Hi all finally cured this problem if anyone else has this problem I ripped manifold off to find some off the orange back up washers brittle so ordered new along with new solenoid boost valve and new silicon boost pipe and clips to clamp them on fitting these new parts reset all fault codes done 500 mile and all is good hope this helps anyone with same problem

Well I’m going to rip manifold off on Saturday and trace all pipe work and make sure everything is as it should be as it’s got to be something I’ve done as it was fine before

Can that be tested or is it a new egr

they looked pretty clean to say they had done 150000 unless someone has already replaced them with new

Wish I never removed the swirl flaps now

It was stripped down and cleaned about 2 months ago would removing the swirl flaps create a mass off gunk is that possible like I said it was fine for about 100 mile up motorway and back then this happened after 5 min off switching off and back on again run perfect with vacuum hose pulled off apart from eml on but it’s not on with pipe connected

It was quite quick so now I guess it’s not a vacuum fault onto other possibilities

Hi Jason I connected vacuum gauge it was swinging from 5 -25 on gauge does that mean it’s a good vacuum ?

Ah ok I’ll have a butchers at it later thanks Jason

Ok I’ll have a look when I get home is it worth me picking some pipe up and change it anyway or is it likely to just be a blocked splitter I’ve just ran it for 20 mile with pipe off egr ran lovely but eml is on does that clarify the problem

Thanks Jason I’ll try that when I get chance to whip manifold off again

Oh and I put a new air filter in aswell while tip end was stripped down

Hi thanks for reply the pump yes left the rod out but pump and vac pipe to the pump is back in place

Hi all removed swirl flaps over weekend fitted x8r kit put all back together fires up worked a treat next day drove 100 miles got back home went to go out 5 min later to find no power read code found 4501 fault pulled vacuum hose off worked fine went and did what I had to put hose back on power loss was intermittent have I disturbed something or is it coincidence that something had gone straight after swirl flap removal vehicles a 2008 530d just hit 150000 miles drove like a dream before I removed flaps many thanks

Can I have a price please part number 7197081 vin number ct99158 can you please advise what’s included in that part number many thanks
