Diesel Injection specialist and he cant find your EGR system?
Unless someone removed it and blocked the exhaust side with a gasket and bolted a new pipe straight on to you Inlet Manifold,then you will have an EGR valve before the Inlet manifold!
Remove the front black plastic cover and its right underneath.

On 2004+ 3.0D the EGR system also has a water radiator to cool down the exhaust gases before they enter the inlet manifold
