Hi, it sounds like your egr is clogged up or broken. 3 options really;

You could clean it all out get rid of all the sut and gunk.

You could replace the whole unit

Best option that worked for me, just blank it off completely, rest the code and see how it goes. I did notice the car was a lot more drivable with it blanked off.

How did you blank it off can you buy a kit

I will try cleaning it first if I can find where it is thanks for your help Chris.

Take it off and clean it and simply install a blanking plate in ... Never an issue again ... Clear the codes of you have a OBD reader of not Battery off for an hour
