downloaded shareware version limited features.Does anyone know if i register and get full lite version can i alter settings for egr on the car?? 

Have a look here: http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/vag-functions.html

 

Find out what section the settings for the EGR are stored in and make sure its a 'Yes'.

 

All functions on older simpler cars like the Mk1 Fab are covered by VCDS-Lite.

 

Note the restrictions on changing computers... you can only do it once! Biggest issue with lite imho.

Another EGR delete option with free software:-
