BMW X1 2016 problems with the exhaust gas recirculation or EGR valve

Hello everyone, my BMW X1 (diesel, built in 2016) is causing problems: Check Engine light on, engine stops by itself, loss of power, bumpy engine, strong exhaust smell and engine jerks when idling. I suspect a problem with the EGR valve. Has anyone had similar experiences and how was this solved in the workshop? Are there any specific troubleshooting tips? Thank you very much!

Hello, The error code 004CAE usually indicates a problem with the EGR valve position sensor signal. This could mean that the EGR valve is stuck, clogged, or faulty. I would recommend starting with cleaning the EGR valve and checking the related wiring and connectors. If the issue persists, it might be time to consider replacing the EGR valve. Please keep us updated on your progress.
