Check for splits or leaks in the rubber air pipes from the turbo. The one below the EGR valve, down the front of the engine, is the most common one to go.

Was there any swarf on the end of the starter motor, where it engages with the flywheel? if so, its a sign of DMF failure.

At 127k I would clean out the EGR and the inlet manifold not a big job and well worth doing.
