blanking of the egr is the only way you will get the car to run correctly as i keep on telling people it will cost you about £5 max for the gasket and then you will need to reprogramme the cars ecu to make it think differently to how it did run but this can only be reprogrammed by the dealers but can be done via other garages if they have the right equipement so all in all you will be looking about £85 ish job done at the dealers
