Even tho you have cleaned the EGR it may still be faulty. Easiest way to rule it out is to put a blanking plate in even temporarily tho if its a Euro 4 engine (more than likely being 2006) it will probably put the engine management light on if you use the blank but will still drive 100% which will tell you if it is a faulty EGR.

Where are you from in Northern Ireland. If close I can lend you a blanking plate.

Ive replaced my EGR twice in 55k miles. It normally sheers the pin off inside, very easily fixed tho even after I cleaned and fixed the pin in mine it still would play up occasionally so I just replaced it

thx this is the second time it has happened the car has just passed 100k miles and yes it is euro 4 2006 I have ordered a blanking plate of ebay £2.95 till I can get a new egr valve

I have put a egr blanking plate in and the engine management light comes on as iv been told also the heater plug light comes on now and then and drives like a 1 liter car not a 2 liter tdci any hints on what I can do
