Went out and repaired this one today.
The initial fault was,
hard to start the vehicle and very poor idle and running, after the customer had already had two different guys out one had said glow plugs so they had the work done, unfortunately this was not the fault, they then where told it's the DPF which they had cleaned, again the fault was still present. I arrived to the vehicle and confirmed the EGR valve as you can see in the picture it's full of carbon, the build up is incredible.
Unfortunately I had to get away quickly for a A&E trip once I'd replaced the EGR valve, the customer had reported the car is now driving much better and what they would expect.
