I have soot around the throttle body (egr blocked )
Any further ideas am going to check the clamps

Thanks

You’ve probably split the throttle body. It’s common. It splits where the Y inlet meets the throttle section.

Many thanks was going to pull it apart tomorrow night

Intercooler is also known to split which is hard to diagnose.

Any leak between the MAF and the intake Y piece should be relatively simple to prove with engine data logging, but a little harder to find.

Considering the telltale black at the throttle body as indicated in the first post is a good starting point

For sure.

I think my point is still valid or have I missed something?

Well done to those who suggested the throttle body 15mm hole under neath the lh egr line.
Swapped it night and forgot to reset the codes now wont pull under 3000 rpm

Any ideas ?

Many thanks to all the suggestions

Craig

Did you plug all the sensors back in?
