Hi all, I have a 2010 E91 which had an engine light on for the EGR. I took it out and the plunger couldn't move due to carbon deposits, cleaned the whole thing up and fitted it again - only now I have problems with the engine cranking without starting.

BimmerLink is showing the attached codes

Any ideas? Thanks

Clear the codes and see if it starts.

Same sadly. Time for a new glow control unit?

Glow plug control unit wont stop it starting even on a cold morning. The first fault code is to do with the injectors which could be your problem. Did you disturb any of the connections ect when you were sorting the EGR?

Not that I'm aware although the injector connectors are at the top I think? So I wouldnt have thought they'd have been disturbed. I do have new injector seals which I'm wondering whether to fit

You've got a code for throttle valve actuator, did you do anything to the throttle body when you took the EGR off? Maybe unplugged it and forgot to plug back in or something?

After cleaning the egr the car ran fine for a period so I assume this is a new issue

Hmmm maybe get the car booked into a decent independent garage so they can go through it. Might be something simple.
