excessive moisture in egr valve

[Waterloo]

This may sound silly, but my first thought when reading all of this was to check the wiring to the EGR valve, as I cannot imagine them failing like this, I got off track with the Inline reader from eBay...

Or, when I had the mandate on my 871, the passive regens were far and few between, but they did happen as I did not really put that many miles on her. Maybe there is actually nothing wrong if you can pull off a successful forced regen? I could see a dealer putting thoughts in your head, as I have seen them do this to other folks while waiting for parts and listening to the service writer. Really pissed me off on more than a few occasions.

I would get the Inline reader and take this bull by the horns. I'm thinking that there is nothing wrong here...
