All in all, a dent of 50K on the wallet and the car is back to functioning with no noticeable changes in performance.

It’s been long since I’ve sharded updates but now there’s been an unfortunate development that’s compelling me to share on this forum.
Most owners are aware of the poor EGR design and I have fallen victim to it’s malfunctioning. Fortunately I have a very reliable FNG who was able to take me out this pickle in a matter of weeks. Would have been faster if it was a matter of simple replacement.
However, when we went to enquire for the EGR we understood that the part has been completely redesigned to counter the poor valve design of the original EGR and to accomodate that, we had to also procure a new wiring harness. All in all, a dent of 50K on the wallet and the car is back to functioning with no noticeable changes in performance. Here’s how the new EGR looks like, more compact and I hope more reliable:
Also there’s this railway coach like sound that keeps annoying me between 50-80kmph that goes “gudgudgud” and varies along with the speed irrespective of the RPMs and I had to replace the rear wheel bearings suspecting them but to no luck. Hope experts in the forum can help troubleshoot!
