Onboard Satnav is fine - I have 2015 disks with 7 digit postcode search and speed cameras. However the TomTom Go 6000 is turning into one of the best satnavs on the market. It has a built in sim card and live traffic and speed camera updates so much more up to date than the BMW one would ever be |

I rely on this for work - the TomTom has been excellent when re-routing due to accidents etc. Highly recommend it. It was pretty poor when I first bought it, they released it before the software was mature - but multiple updates are making it excellent.

These are brilliant for preventing that. Particularly on a Friday night doing the beer and wine run

So another little update - finally got around to cleaning the EGR valve out.
I plan to physically delete this and have it coded out but this clean will suffice until the summer. So, engine cover off and top intake plastic off (3 Torx screws): Then 6mm long allen key (for the bottom two bolts) with a ball end to be able to get on the heads. I fed a cloth underneath first in case I dropped any bolts as they're not captive: Then disconnect vacuum pipe and electrical plug and voila: Seriously minging: Time for the cleanup: After lots of scrubbing and scraping: Then it was just a case of buttoning everything back up: Don't forget the vacuum pipe: All buttoned back up: To be fair I was expecting a lot worse with 150,000 miles - I think good quality fuel helps. So, next job for this is to get the whole thing deleted - a job for when it's warmer I think! |

So, immediately things seem smoother - definitely not placebo. Smoother idle too.
So a delete is on the cards I think, Looks like this will do the trick. Now I just need to find someone who charges a reasonable price to code it out locally. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-5-SERI...item234ba4bb45 Last edited by Calluhan; 03-30-2015 at 12:01 PM.. |

I'll be looking to do this in the next few months too. I hate the concept of EGR valves. Make me shudder to think about.
Might just send it to you to get all the jobs done lol |

I'd never seen that in action and I actually like it more than I thought - I didn't realise the top of it had lights on it. Quite cool!
