light rattling on tickover - EGR

Have been experiencing a light rattle on tickover for 2 weeks, vanishes on acceleration. Engine power OK. Seemed to be coming from steering column, turning wheel varied the intensity. In neutral no sound, only in D with EPB on. Opened bonnet and localised sound to left side of engine looking from the front. Experienced a sudden power loss for about 1 second. Happened only once. Seems to be smoking a little more than usual under hard acceleration.

Read DTC codes P0490 and P1385 with me gizmo. Suspected EGR. Took to dealer and they confirmed this. In for EGR replacement in 3 weeks ! Parking sensor wiring will be replaced at the same time.

Any info on linking engine tunes to EGR failure ? i.e. EGR failing sooner on tuned cars ?

Next car will be petrol (5.0l V8 supercharged Razz ), probably more reliable (less extreme fuel pressure, no turbo, no EGR)
 There's one wheel on my wagon, but i'm still rollin' along, it's the cherokee, they're after me, but I'm singing a happy song
