Functional description
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2017 BMW X3, 2016 BMW X3, 2015 BMW X3, 2014 BMW X3, and 2013 BMW X3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The low temperature EGR cooler must be blocked against flow. When the engine is cold, the coolant must warm up as quickly as possible to keep emissions low. For this purpose, the additional cooling circuit is also kept closed.
When de-energized, the changeover valve of the low temperature EGR cooler is closed towards the low temperature EGR cooler. Engine control only activates the changeover valve once the low-pressure EGR cooler activates. The changeover valve switches to the additional coolant circuit.
