So these are two different problems, please make a new post for the Code P0401.

Code P0172 - System Too Rich (Bank 1)

Code P0401 - Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Flow Insufficient

The system is running too rich, this is usually because of an exhaust leak up by the exhaust manifolds or a leaky fuel injector, how is the engine running? Please go over this guide which will help by showing us what can cause this issue.

Please upload a video in your response of the engine idling to help me see what's going on.
