EA189 - EGR problem

Ok, so I’ve had some recent issues with my EGR on my 1.6tdi since having the new software from VW over the emmisions issue.
All started when the glowplug light came on flashing and put me into limp mode.


Instead of repairing or replacing I’ve decided to delete it and remap the ECU via a reputable company in Liverpool.
Has anyone else done this to get rid of the issues caused by the EA189 software update after the emmisions scandal?
Also, I’m looking at deleting the DPF at the same time. Is this a good move?
Pros and cons, but also, once the DPF has been deleted I’ve been told to remove it, I’d like to know why?
Do I need to remove the EGR after the remap too then?
Not the best with engines.
