Just an update. Before my latest fuel fill-up I used half a can of EGR cleaner then the other half a few days later. I have noticed that it is less smokey, but still not great.

I had a look at removing the EGR and giving it a proper clean, but it looks a nightmare? Does anyone have experience on this?

It's going to be serviced this week (hopefully) and I'll put another can of EGR cleaner through after we've done the service.

Another thing I have noticed is the turbo seems to cut in quite late (maybe a symptom of EGR problems). Like in 1st I can sometimes get up to 2800rpm before it kicks in, about 2200rpm in second, then normal for the rest. What can I do to improve this? Any tips?

Lastly, would anyone recommend doing anything to the engine to improve it? Not talking massive turbos etc. Just because it was sat unused for over half a year, maybe parts need a good clean? Idk.

Any response would be great =)
