The Silence of the EGR valve
My EGR has been very silent recently, this coincided with using Liqui Moly diesel additive, but this may just be a coincidence. No blerp..blerp after switching off the engine, just a quiet hum.
No error codes on Forskin (none for the whole engine, not bad with 210k kms - 130k miles in old money), but when trying to run the EGR reset, it always comes up "process interrupted". I ran the VCV relearn successfully (a lot smoother engine) so I know something is working.
Is the following true:

a: My EGR knacked / stuck and needing cleaned or replaced.
b: Is there a specific set of circumstances to run the EGR reinitialisation and I'm doing it wrong.

There is a bit of white smoke and diesely rattles on cold mornings, but just for a couple of minutes, I haven't run the Injector reset yet as the weather is too cold for the procedure.

Foreskins aside, I had a similar thing with my 2.4. No tune or EGR disable as checked by Pete at BAS, yet never had a EGR noise.
No codes, no issues, no idea.

This obviously doesn’t help with the diagnosis, but I didn’t seem to struggle with it.
