Had an engine code go for the EGR in my car a few months in. Turns out it shorted and blew a terminal on the ECU, needed a new ECU which was not a nice way to break-in the new car!
Hopefully it's something simple, the issues you mentioned are probably a good place to start with some DIY maintenance though. Taking out and cleaning the EGR valve was the first thing I'd had to do on my own car and was a good place to start. (unlike the guy above who's first job was a timing belt change. Lunatic, in the most positive way!)
I looked through the list of fault codes online and couldn't see anything that mentioned EGR or exhaust on there. But once I've actually got a fault code it might be a bit more straightforward.
