check that nut under the egr valve,mine didnt git put back in when i had my intake gaskets replace and made noise that sounded like my engine was tapping,i was so relieved when my noise was gone after i put it back in.

[bigkoala1]

Depending on current mileage, maybe your mechanic(s) are just thinking it may be close to valve adjustment time. It's difficult to differentiate between the two (valve noise and loose egr nut) without actually hearing it though.

i was at 57k when i was told to not worry about it.. i think valves are supposed to be at 60k? i went to the dealer for that service and they didnt mention it though
