I used the blanking plate and put that in place of the EGR. I'll check the injectors. Cheers

AFAIK it is not an EGR, it is purely an air valve for the pumping air into the exhaust ports. No exhaust gas recirculation involved.

Yes, technically it's Secondary Air Injection (SAI) rather than EGR. The one thing I noticed was quieter induction noise since fitting the kit, which suggests that some exhaust might find it's way back through to the inlet when the SAI pump isn't running.

Yep - had that. Only took the dealer three attempts to diagnose it
