Yellow Eng Management light

Scouse
in BMW 1 Series Forum

Featured Replies

Hi, my yellow engine man light is on. I know it's related to the EGR so it's not detrimental to the engine, but what causes it? It came on initially last year, so I had it cleared at my local garage, but it came on again a couple of miles after. Then it disappeared by itself last June but came on again today. Any help/advice gratefully received. Sorry, its a 2.0 diesel 175bhp, 2010 model in a 120d M-sport.

    Morning John

    Welcome to the Forum

    What makes you so sure it is EGR related ?

    If it is in fact EGR related the Complete EGR system needs cleaning and checking or replacing to ensure that it is working as it should. The DPF and its sensors also needs checking 

    If the Garage just diagnosed the fault and reset the code it hasn't fixed the issue
