    Yes - the EGR slowly blocks the inlet manifold with sticky carbon, especially if you do a lot of idling and coasting (eg city driving). It will happen much more slowly (but will still happen) if you drive with a heavier foot and at speed.

    But as mentioned above, you cant simply block an EGR on a modern car - you need to the have software on the cars ECU altered to make it think it does not have an EGR. And in my experience, you cant simply remove the EGR alone, you also need to remove the DPF at the same time.

    Another very good idea on a modern diesel is a catch can. Either with or without the EGR delete.
