I would take it on a long drive at least 30-40 miles rpm over 2000. Give it a good run. No speeding though
[EGR] Warning light on second-hand purchase

Since I bought it yes, letting it tick over on the drive before setting off too! All bad things for the pdf, I’ve since found out on this site. I should of joined the site before the purchase!! Probably of put me off though
DPF problems are horrible when they happen to you. In your position you have got nothing to lose by taking it on a decent run, it doesn’t have to be fast speed wise but it is best done on a dual carriageway or motorway where it can get up to temp and sit there to do it’s stuff. 60mph will do it but equally you could do it slower but use a lower gear maintaining target 2000rpm revs. Worst case it will drop in to limp mode but you will still be able to drive back albeit slowly.
Your funny exhaust smells could be a regen trying to take place but you might keep interrupting it by only doing short runs.
If this doesn’t work then you need to get a scanner on the engine to see what faults are reporting, or as @Niknak says find someone with all the kit to force a static regen to see if that clears it.
Good luck and please report back.

Experienced same problem for the first time this week. Driving along motorway when ADBLUE ERROR message displayed and the range dropped from 3500 to 650 mile warning. After driving another 30 minutes the range reverted back to 3500, but I have been left with the orange fault illuminated near...
in limo mode it fills up with drunk ladies on a hen night and smells of cheap sparkling wine.
Every cloud!!!
Because I’m an inpatient tw*t I’d already bought a new EGR valve but I now realise that I can delete both, which I am definitely going to do at some point.
I’ve had better Saturday mornings!!! But new EGR valve on, took her for a blast and the DPF light has gone out (for now).
Apparently some engines got that...
