Audi A4 losing power
My Audi A4 1.9 tdi has suddenly started losing power. It still drives but is very sluggish. There's no smoke coming from the exhaust whatsoever. I've changed the diesel filter but there has been no change. I was hoping some one could give me any idea what to do next?

Probably a blocked EGR.
