Had my car on the diagnostics machine yesterday as I had engine management light on.

Came up with fault 16785 'insufficient egr exhuast flow'.

I had a new EGR a few months ago so surely it cant be that again? Anyone have any experience of this fault or can give me a few pointers?

The code was cleared and hasnt come back...yet!

I've heard it may be related to MAF sensor?
 
This is what Rosstech say...You could check the wireing conectors ??
