Not hard to do. I put some pics in an album, see my profile. I have a 2005 Td4 and I did not have to make any adjustments to de BMW Filter.
the only benefit is that you no longer have to renew filters.....
Would this be applicable for a `52 reg TD4?And if so,where do I get one from?

So this egr valve causes mpg issues, engine stalling and excessive smoke from the exhaust by any chance. Only saying this as my landy absolutely stinks atm, stalls whenever it bloody well wants and I seriously need to tow a trailer full of diesel behind me as it has a serious drink problem!!!
When I fit the new BMW vortex to mine, I stripped the valve housing down to see what was in there.
The round lid is held on with spring clips, only one way it can fit due to clip positions.
All that's in there is a spring and a diaphragm with the valve seat and face underneath, again only one way it can fit.
Simple job to strip, clean, inspect, and reassemble.
The diaphragm on my crankase filter had started to perish (started to go soft and sticky) when I fitted the BMW mod so I would imagine that's why BMW recommend fitting the complete unit every 3rd or 4th service. Will get round to changing mine in the next few months.
Pleasure, mileage was 103,000 though so lower mileage cars should not be a problem.That's the first I've heard of this, so although it's not good news, it's good to know that it is something to check on at some future point.
Thanks for posting that info.
Happy New Year to everyone.
