I have not changed them before in this car; I put over 80k on it highway driving, and since then it has been a mix of city and highway.
Disabling EGR in a turbo is a little more complicated, and I haven't messed with it. I believe that anti-sieze on the bodies of the plugs is likely the second best way to prevent break-offs. The best way would to have a head and glow plugs where the threads were closer to the seating surface... Mercedes sells an expensive tool set to deal with the plugs, but it's a combination of pichler 6041760+60419050+6049031...
