Try taking the Battery out overnight, as that resets the car
-
Hi,
I cleaned my EGR valve two days ago, and my car started, but shuddered for a few seconds, and then the VSC check light came on and it went into limp mode. The AA checked it and said my EGR valve is faulty. I took off the Battery overnight, and it reset the car and its fine now. I suggest you do the same. I think the soot has got into the manifold; therefore it needs to be possibly vaccumed out.

no worries, also another thing worth doing is take out AA breakdown cover, its around £80 a year and covers for £500 and upto 5 claims. Its not much, but lets say you damaged your EGR its £350 brand new without fitting, therefore worth while having some cover.
I have taken it out, as just in case the head goes, or flywheel I can take it to local vat reg garage and get it repaired for a few hundred after the cover pays out. Worth bearing in mind!!
