My thread covers this off here:

Also I have pictures if you follow the facebook link, to reset the CEL issue disconnect the battery and wait, after that reconnect if you have automatic windows you need to put the driver's window down then up HOLDING the switch in the upposition for 3 seconds and then the window will go down automatically (meaning you have reset the ECU) technically you should then hold the car at 2500rpm for 5 mins with no electrics for the ECU to reconfigure the idle speed.
hope this helps.

i have played around with my egr blanking plate and found at first i go 2 codes,
1 stating the valve wouldnt open enough and the second stating insufficient flow throught the valve,
Despite the codes the car drove really nice, much smoother feeling (UK 1.3dsi model)
step one, i drilled a hole in the blanking plate big enough to allow the valve to open,
result: 1st error code cleared but after abit of driving insufficient flow code came back.
step two, drilled a small hole (approx 3 mm) to allow some gas flow through the valve,
still got the insufficient flow code,
i enlarged the hole to approx 8mm and now all codes have cleared and the car still feels pretty nice to drive.
so it seems you cant just block the egr and get away with it but can reduce flow
MPG seems to have gne up also!
