We've never had a 2.0 HDi FAP appear on these here boards so I feel comfortable in saying NO! Have a peer under it anyway, you'll know soon enough.

the reason y i think its now my egr blocked is after reading about faults with it it says rough idle and bad acceleration can occur when this is at fault and i have those 2 problems plus a strong smell of exhaust fumes could it be broke or could it just be needing cleaned

I think soot coming out of your tail pipe is also a symptom. Not really sure, I'd just refer to Haynes but I think you need to cut the old clamps off and replace. Oh, and fingers like a facehugger from Alien.
