Would these flaps and this issue also apply to a 2004 525d? Cheers.
I dont know whether there have been any failures with the 525d flaps, I wasnt willing to take the chance.

Mass air flow, basically it is just after you air filter and it measures the airflow in to the engine. Exhaust gas recirculation thermostat, I was surprised by this actually existing I had never heard of this before i didnt think the egr needed cooling with coolant.
do you know where the egr thermostat is situated ? or how to check its working o.k

To find out if it is faulty you need to take it off, if you can blow air through it then its faulty. There is a post on this in more detail.
