2012 528xi EGR Problem

xanderuff · 02-01-2022, 08:55 AM

Hello, I have a 2012 528xi with the N20. I haven't had any problems previously with the car, but recently I keep getting a warning that my coolant is low, even though I just topped it off. I read on a forum that the EGR was a recalled issue for the F10s, but I checked my recall on the BMW website and this wasn't one of them. Any ideas of what issue is happening? I can't tell if there's a leak because no coolant has dripped onto the ground.

faulty sensor on the coolant reservoir

Happened to mine 5k miles ago, had the reservoir replaced and the problem went away that day

I had a similar issue and EGR was replaced in the end on my own dime. No leaks as it was only leaking when hot (therefore no traces of leaks under the car).

Later on the dealership "checked" it as part of the recall program. Still looking for ways to recoup that repair since it should be covered by the recall in my mind.
