hi all the other day cleaned all the inlet manifold out and associated pipe work all went well apart from losing a nut . anyways checked under bonnet today could smell exhaust smoke turns out were the egr valve goes into the metal flexi pipe its leaking from there tryed re seating it 4 times no success anything i can try or is a new valve needed cheers all
the bit thats leaking is were the egr goes on to the egr cooler cheers
don't get a new egr valve ..
get a 'egr-delete' unit instead
then you'll never have to worry about an egr valve sticking ever again
and the engine will run better .. and mpg will increase
it's eazee-peeezee to fit an 'egr-delete' unit ..
as for the leak .. it's only a mini clamp that holds that flexi pipe to the egr unit
you should .. if needed be able to source a new clamp with nut 'n bolt ..
if it's the mating surface between flexi pipe an egr .. see if a cleanup would help seal the pipework ..

I've bought 2 of these and both have twisted when tightened (not over-tightened) meaning exhaust fumes are leaking. My local mechanic says BMW make a better clamp instead of this jubilee clip. Does anyone know where I could source one or something better than what I have.
Google isn't much help when looking for specific items.
Cheers,
Gary.
Yep know what you mean about the rubbish jubilee type clamps mine is still leaking will now try bmw
Try looking at RealOEM.com Online BMW Parts Catalog and select a E53 2004 3.0d M57 and look for the EGR pipe clamp in there
