Plenty of TDIClub members have found out that "Drive it like you stole it" really hasn't helped. The problem still is oil mist from the CCV mixed with soot from the EGR in the first place.
A CCV re-route will help some, but getting the EGR shut off with the CCV re-route is the best answer. The block that stops the exhaust going into the EGR cooler just helps to keep your coolant temps from climbing.

More than likely yes. EGR is usually shut under full throttle application and varied at partial and zero throttle. Cutting the amount of non-combustable material circulated into the combustion chambers will help for a complete burn of the fuel.
The best answer is still....
CCV re-route
EGR Block at the EGR cooler inlet
Then disable the EGR via programing with a custom chip or VAG-Com
The Best easy answer is....
Get the Vag-Com software and just disable the EGR.

Plenty of TDI Club members... Well the ones I know including all the cars we've ever owned benefit from that method. As soon as you start to slow down, RPM wise you start to see problems.
My experiments with the VAGCOM have resulted in other issues when turning off the EGR. Personally, leaving it engaged and just cleaning it is far more simple. Depending on the model, blocking the setup isn't overly practicle either. The boat load of sensors in the PD motors and the new CDI motors will show that this is not something you really want to do without some real know how. Again, just like all the major brands warranty comes into play here and that can be pricey on an import like the VW.
Just my 2 cents.

With the right tools I've heard about 4 to 6 hours once you get the hang of it.
The wife's beetle is a bear to work on so, timing belt, water pump, and egr clean+intake clean = ~$1700 at the dealership.
An interesting post over at tdi club.
So maybe best easy answer is a custom program...

You can not totally disable the EGR function with VAG-COM.
There is an adaptation setting that allows you to decrease the EGR cycle that some people have reported to disable the CEL light after an EGR delete, however it is also reported that decreasing the EGR cycle via adaptation retards the timing... so there you have it.
