    I should have been more clear. For the first year and few months of owning my VX, EGR would do in and out of service (every other month). Then, just as I got my last inspection sticker, my EGT went permanently bad (P0405). I can reset it, but it comes back with-in 10-20 seconds. I has been like this for the last 10 month.

    Oddly enough, I got my best fuel consumption (17mpg) this past summer (when EGR was not working). My typical consumption is 14mpg, but I attribute this great mileage to mostly highway driving.

    I have inspection coming up in two more months, so I will have to fix it. And then, just might block it off until the next inspection.
