    Yeah exactly. If your still getting fault codes for the EGR then thats what I’d be doing next.

    The other mechanic wants to delete Egr and dpf , reckons I’ll never have problems again. Is this a good idea ? I’m reading that it’s illegal to delete dpf

    If done properly it will still pass the NCT so I wouldn’t worry about the legality of it. Its expensive enough to get both the EGR and DPF removed

    I wouldn't, deleting stuff can cause massive headaches if there's other issues down the road needing to be diagnosed or if you've ever a software/ecu issue.

    Had a passat a while back, no power due to clogged DPF, no faults stored and wouldn't run a forced regen. Updated ECU to latest software, immediately threw a fault for the throttle body. Seen a new one had been fitted, didn't solve the problem obviously. Wiring good so must have been an ECU issue but customer didn't want to pay for any more time.

    Obviously whatever garage had it just told him it was the throttle body, all sorted now and just deleted it.

    On top of that who knows what checks the NCT will bring in for this.

    TLDR, get a better mechanic.
