Did The EGR Cleaning Thing

[CSTYLES]

the check engine light would come on after driving about five minutes and then turn of on its own. just had the 45k service so i took it to the dealer to complain. i suggested that it may be the EGR valve after reading the posts here, but i don't have the technical knowledge to attempt this myself.
the service rep told me not to believe the stuff i read online.

they replaced the EGR valve under warranty. he charged me an hours labor ($100) to clean it out saying it was really gummed up.

i didn't make him eat his words though.

I did a write up not too long ago about how to clean out the EGR. It takes very very little technical knowhow. I would definitely try this before spending any more than the cost of a can of carb cleaner.

See the link to my website below.

Yep, if I can do it, any of you can. :-) Takes 10 minutes and I wish I made $100 a pop for that too. That's like $98 profit. The best thing about this site is that it keeps me away from the dealer. Whew!
