No Power at low revs

Damn! That looks like the electronic EGR caught fire! There is a massive recall on these as they lead to the entire car burning down. There was an article recently from South Korea over bmws catching fire from the electronic egr, big law suit.

thats the intake but, the front section is where the actuator is located for the swirl flaps. as you can see, there is a slight carbon build up :smilebounce:

Yes but the egr pipe is directly under it.

ah ok, i see what you mean, the EGR was pulled, cleaned and checked the one of the last few times the car went back. I was told all appears normal. Are there any cases of fires locally in SA? I see the article doesn't say if its the e90 or F30 or anything?

Hey Guys,

Hope you are all well.

Been having a power loss issue on my car, 2009 E90 320d. some days the car drives fine, however sometimes in bumper to bumper traffic, it looses complete power. idles fine though. if i come to a stop and take off, with my foot to the floor the car shudders a little crawls off. once it eventually gets to about 2500 rpm it starts picking up some speed, once i get to 3rd gear it starts boosting like a bar out of hell.

whats been done so far is the following:
1) Diesel filter replaced with BMW part
2) Diesel Pump replaced with BMW part
3) MAF sensor replaced with original Bosch part
4) Fuel ekp / epk control module replaced with BMW part

although it is better, the issue is still there and i really have no idea what it could be.

any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It’s probably the DSC fault on your pic. Have you tried to disable dsc and see if the problem persists? ….if all after doing this, it will probably be the dsc wheel sensors that will cut power ….

Howsit bud, fault was found. swirl flaps on the intake broke. replaced the intake and issue was sorted.
