Would it be best just to replace it / strip 'n' clean it (if do-able) or delete the egr?
Thanks.
Disconnect first to confirm, but a strip down and clean will likely be needed, and check the inlet manifold too.

A nasty job, but once done, never need be done again......as you are not going to be recirculating spent exhaust gasses through the manifold any longer
