2000 Coupe EX V6
I bought the car used 2 years ago @ 184,000 kms and have only driven the car roughly for 30,000 kms since (drive often but not long distances). Around 20 months ago the CEL came on and I was told the EGR ports were clogged. Paid $140 for a local mechanic to have it cleaned out. Just last week after an oil change, the CEL came on again with the same issue. Instead of cleaning the ports for $140, I could just buy the part for $55 here @ http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=933377&cc=1366691&jnid=506&jpid=2, labour $40. Would this not be a more effective solution (and I also get to save a bit of $$?) ???
Please advise.
(I know some people (even my mech) recommend cleaning out the ports myself but I just don't have the tools or expertise to do so)
