Can you ID these parts under my bonnet please? I was going to do the EGR removal on my TD5 so thought I had best look under the acoustic cover as mine falls around the change of type, and I found a few things that have been upgraded but I want to know what they are. I also need to know if the EGR looks like it has been done, so I took some photos. Please help if you can! 1. Looking from the OS front wing - this is where the EGR bit sits, yes? So what I have got here? Click image to enlarge And again from the front: Click image to enlarge 2. Now, looking from the NS wing you can see the following - but I don't know if it means it is std or not? Click image to enlarge 3. Is that the EGR blanking part, just behind the radiator at the front of the engine? Click image to enlarge 4. I also seem to have more of the S/S pipework going from the bottom of the turbo to the front of the car. Not sure what it goes into, maybe the intercooler?

At the bottom you can see a brown rectangular electrical connector - does anyone know what it is for? Click image to enlarge 2016 D4 HSE 1998 110 TUM HS FFR Hard Top XD WOLF 1982 Series 3 SWB Petrol

I'm not sure if this makes any difference? 2016 D4 HSE 1998 110 TUM HS FFR Hard Top XD WOLF 1982 Series 3 SWB Petrol

Hi Adam, Yes it's already had the EGR deleted. In photo 1 & 2 the pipe with the harness cable-tied to it is the EGR valve replacement pipe. In photo 1 the welded pipe is coming from the "cold" side of the intercooler. Photo 3 is the EGR "feed" from the end of the exhaust manifold (standard). Photo 4 is a blank fitted to the "cold" end of the EGR cooler. Clearly it's been done here rather than at the exhaust manifold (hot) end as they've not needed/bothered to remove the cooler. Photo 5 & 6 - yes the pipework goes off to the intercooler. Has your 90 got a deeper intercooler? That pipework and blue silicone hose isn't standard! Photo 7 - headlamp levelling plug (not fitted to your 90 as it's a hardtop)  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top 2015 D90 XS SW

I used one of the Alive Kits which came with a bit of pipe that means you can remove the valve all together. You haven't got a picture of it do I can't see... Current:D4 HSE Gone: BMW Z4MC Gone: Defender TD5 90 CSW Previous: Discovery TD5 ES (Gone)

Lol Personally go and buy the right pipes that fit as yours don't look right with those Ali bits and get a nice big intercooler And a remap from bas and a nice full stainless system it will be worth it I loved the sound of my td5 Steve 2015 2.2 tdci hardtop xs 3.2 conversion DONE 238bhp and 707nm torque and thats just the start ;-P hybrid turbo in build -done ready to fit ashcroft atb in transfer box 6 speed auto in build
