Hi, I've now done 8500 miles in total and still going well as long as I leave the EGR lead unplugged.

I do keep plugging it back in from time to time but unfortunately the smoke returns immediately.

I think leaving the EGR unplugged may have affected the power a little which is only really noticeable when going up big hills. (just wondering if unplugging the EGR stops the turbo from kicking in and whether it could be the cause of the smoke i.e small leak)

I would say I've used about about 600ml of oil for the 8500 miles.
