Anyone any idea .

I'm no mechanic but that is the EGR valve so if you Google that you might get some ideas about what you need to do

The diagnostics suggest 2 faults.
First suggest Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve is stuck open - EGR issues are quite common - have a google or youtube egr and make/model of van.
The second suggests there is a pipe split or lose the goes from air box(filter) to throttle body to turbo to intercooler to intake manifold. This could be easy to find by visually inspecting and feeling the pipes from airbox to inlet manifold.
Personally I would be surprised if both faults happened at same time but an air leak from a split hose will reduce power, depending on where it is could be big loss of power.
I would look at pipes first. Sometimes it could be something has rubbed through a pipe!
Good luck.
