I changed my glow plugs on my '10 335d today and now I have a ton of codes plus I'm in limp mode.

The codes I have:
4A5E - Glow plug, cylinder 2, activation <- the one I was trying to fix
4862 - Air system, air to EGR mass flow plausibility
4B82 - Exhaust-gas recirculation - rate control, control deviation
00, 01, 48, 65 No found! <- what does this even mean
4530 - Charge-air pressure contol, deviation

Is there one single problem that would cause this? Obviously something happened or forgotten while re-assembling.

The black plastic hose was not connected to the EGR.

Now all codes gone except the glow plug code which is what I was trying to fix.

Would I be correct to assume that the glow plug controller is the issue?

It could be the glow plug or the controller. Make 100% certain that the correct glow plug is installed.

I replaced all 6 plugs and #2 is the only one giving a code.

Not sure how to tell if they are correct.

On another note. In the process of doing the work, I lost one of the 7 manifold spacers that go on the studs with a nut on top. I had all 7 of the rubber grommets that attach to the spacers because some stayed on the studs. I am not sure how else to describe them. I haven't been able to find any online, and I wasn't able to source them at the local parts store. I don't have a dealership in my town so I haven't been able to look there. Does anyone know where I can find one?

Is it part 6 in this diagram?

I would assume it's the controller, you can buy one from FCP:

It is actually similar to part 6 in that diagram, but goes through the hole in the manifold under the nut - part 9. There is also a part similar to part 7 that goes into the bottom of the manifold hole under the nut - part 9 as well. I have all seven of those, just missing one part similar to part 6.

Any help would be appreciated. I am concerned that it is sold as part of the manifold and not individually.

Ah, it looks to me like it's a sleeve molded or pressed into the manifold, and there's no separate part you can buy.

I would just slip an M7 washer under the nut. The sleeve just protects the plastic from rubbing on the stud, which shouldn't be an issue since you have 6 other sleeves to help center it in the hole. The washer will help prevent the nut from marring up the surface it tightens against.
