Have them check the oil pressure is 1 bar idle and up to 3 bar while driving. You may have blocked pipes to and from the turbo, or some other issue that is preventing the turbo from spooling up (blocked filters, split hoses, actuator stuck). The EGR is a staple part of that car's maintenance. Heed Eddie's advice.
Silver 08 plate 5dr 1.5dci Dynamique 106 Tech Run (re-mapped)

Red 03 plate 5dr 1.9 Dynamique dci120

Best advice for Megane owners: sell it before it bankrupts you!

needs a starter motor and it has taken some teeth off the ring gear as well , needs heater plugs and something done with the injection system as it dosn,t pull below 1800 revs after that tho it pulls like a steam train , also has the usual leccy window probs
