D3 MT Cold Rough Idle

[KA020L_L]

Hi

New member here of Alpina D3 MT

D3 is got 87k mls , got her just over a week and she is suffering with some issue . After cold start runs fine , but then 2-3 min later rough idle until warm , then runs fine. I suspect EGR blocked...but dont know , what is your advise ?

Also im under impression that this is linked somehow as from time to time i keep stalling her, sometimes 2-3 times in conditions which should never happen to me

Pulls strong above 1600 rpm no issue there .

What you guys think ?

Tia

Welcome to the forum!

Have read through this thread, and the other thread linked in it, quite a bit of dicsussion on D3 MT's and the potential causes of problems. First step really seems to be, get the fault codes read/cleared and rechecked to see where to start looking.

Hi

Sill hoping its the EGR clogged . Will clean over weekend together with MAF.

Hi

If the car has had dpf issues in the past then the inlet manifold and the EGR can become seriously gunked up. I had mine off and steam cleaned.

Allso, it could be a problem with the Pierberg pressure converter for the EGR valve. The vacuum hoses are also known to perish.

Worth swapping the glow plugs at the same time. I had 3 giving fault codes and the car is idling a lot better now. My car just hit 80k.
