X1 2.0D

Hi,

Im looking to buy X1 2.0D (2011) for 200k with 77km on the clock ,there is comment on the system that the exhaust gas re-circulation was replaced after the car would not go more than 60KM. Is this a big problem or something that can reoccur again.

probably just a blocked Catalytic converter?
how much was the repair?

It was 4500 under MP

if it is a clogged cat, best you decat , it will slightly improve consumption and power and you needn't worry about it again.

Replacement cat for R4500? I SERIOUSLY doubt that.

Most likely your EGR valve.

if it was only cleaned and not repaired that could be.
what baffles me is why would BMW load a comment for such.

I don't believe that they would clean a cat. They would replace like they do with anything else that fails. That is what franchise repairs consist of. Break/Replace.

Perhaps the OP used the incorrect term when raising the question here.

This is what the comments say.

It literally states that it's the EGR valve. Really not a big deal.

Thank you. wasn't sure if it was a big issue.

Hi,

I've had my X1 2.0d EGR valve also replaced last year as it clogs up over time and can stall the engine. It was a quick job (when they got the part) and stored in the comments like any other job done on the car. Probably a good thing it's done as should be plain sailing for a good few years!

good luck!

that's good news :=):
