Update ......
Garage suggested the car needed a DPF regen, so this was done, errors cleared and they road tested the car and confirmed all OK.
Drove the car the following day and all seemed fine until after approx 1 hr when the car started hesitating on acceleration, at all speeds but most...
Out of interest, could a clogged DPF or faulty DPF sensor cause the symptoms I’m experiencing ?; engine noisier, lack of power, erratic gear changes at low speeds, EGR fault codes & RPM surging at motorway speed
Thank LostKiwi ... and apologies for the appalling grammar and spelling mistakes in my last post (hopefully now more all corrected)
I think you may be right as I seem to be digging myself into a deeper hole.
It’s going back into the mapping company for them to have a look on Monday, so if they...
Hi All
I just wanted to give you an update on the issues Ive had with my car, as they're ongoing and becoming more perplexing ..... Sorry, it's a bit long ...
After having the EGR mapped out the car still didn't feel right with rough gear changes and the engine noisier than normal at...
Just wondering if there's a physical issue with the EGR causing it to be stuck, and that removing the EGR in the map is now just masking the issue and stopping the car going into limp mode and that now I just seeing poor running due to EGR issues ?
Back to the garage we go :(

Cars going in tomorrow, but I decided to buy a cheap OBD2 diagnostic tool and it’s showing the following code;
P0405 EGR Sensor A Circuit Low
... looks like it may be nothing to do with the gearbox after all, but just going into limp mode
Thanks guys
I’m calling Star-Tech again tomorrow to very the car booked in.
I may have to drive the car for a few miles to get the fault to re-occur before I drop it down to them.
I‘ll let you know the outcome
Cheers

hi, according to the service history the ATF & filter were changed in 2017 and I believe only needed every 4-5 years so Star-Tech don’t believe that’s the issue.
Not sure on age of battery, so I’ll check.
