Your EGR may need a good cleaning if it is not working properly. I removed mine recently to clean it. There was a carbon build up around the pintle. It is located in the area below the throttle body on a 1.6. It is bolted onto the lower intake. Some people say it looks like a flying saucer. You will see a vacuum hose coming out of the top. There is a large metal pipe from the exhaust manifold attached to the bottom of the EGR.
