In any case, they're replacing parts tomorrow and I should have the car back Friday. Here's hoping that solves the problem. As always, if anyone has had a similar experience with the EGR, or if someone is more knowledgeable and can chime in I would really appreciate it.
I know one person in the US who had his EGR replaced. Wouldn't call it a common failure.
