if it's not working you will probably get a CEL and when you read the code it will be about the EGR valve... if it's really FGFU this will probably be how you will find out.

get a vacuum pump, Tee it up to the hose going to the egr valve from egr solenoid. if the car starts to choke after vacuum has been applied, it's working properly.
