    Seems you and I have similar problem,Cleaned the EGR & the Boost sensor [which is just to left of egr held in place by a single bolt ]
    All seemed well but it has "gone " again with no top end power at all.I am going to check pipes etc now.

    Mine is a [150]BHP do you know if the boost sensor located in the same place? I will have a look tomorow in the light.

    I have the wiring kit Mod for the 3rd injector which I am going to try at the weekend. I'll do a how to with photos and let you know if it resolved the issue. Hopefully have my ODB reader by then as well so i can reset everything.

    Check if your car has the diesel particulate filter fitted, if the egr has been clogged up you could have sooted up the filter, mine sooted up so bad when I fixed all the faults at the inlet side the exhaust blew apart! The filter was not passing anything. Runs better than ever without the DPF but I'm still trying to clear the light on the dash.

    Default DPF

    It's worth a try. Whats the location of the DPF on the [150] BHP. Any photos locations would be good? What is involved in cleaning it?

    thanks in advance.

    Found the problem !!,Went to the car this morning with every intention to find out what was wrong,Knowing it was only the week before all this happened the car was running good.
    Took off the EGR valve again and rechecked & cleaned,
    Took out the boost sensor and cleaned again.
    So next I thought it must be a leak on a pipe started to check them all....and there it was the rubber connector that is on the vacum line to the wastegate valve had perished,spent ages with the parts man at the local stealers just as we were closing in on the part no his system crashed.
    Have done a getbye repair using gaffer tape and the car is back to its usual self.
    Will list the part no as soon as known.
