Ill try and keep this simple....should the 'male' fittings for the vacuum hoses ON the egr valve be blocked ? Mine are(Seems like black sillicone).Ive had a look about and cant find any reference to it anywhere or make it out on any pictures. Ta!

Thats what im thinking. The inside of the valve is too clean to be working compared to intake at bottom. Question is can i simply pick it out or will pushing some (unintentially) cause a problem. Getting a lot of black smoke from exhaust so i thought id just take a look. Expected to see a lot of gunk in there.fairly clean on inside

I would clean it out and try it .. or do the egr delete properly ..

A small amount of almost anything won't be as bad in there as lumps of carbon ... it's only recirculating exhaust gases

unless its already has a blanking plate ..not to sure why they used silicon to plug the holes as its just as easy to disconnect the electronic solenoids mine are long gone i wish i saved them for a day like this
not many people understand the EGR system there is a EGR valve seat as well as butterfly valve in the air intake some think this a throttle plate
