Consumer Description

I HAVE REPLACED THE EGR VALVE 3 TIMES ON THIS VEHICLE. I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE VEHICLE RUNNING ROUGH. I WAS TOLD I HAVE ALOT OF CARBON BUILDUP AROUND THE EGR PORTS AND THIS IS BREAKING/FLAKING OFF. THE DEALER SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE CYLINDER HEADS AND INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET AND SUBMERGE IN A HOT TANK OF ACID TO CLEAN THE CARBON OFF THESE PARTS. THE REPAIR QUOTE WAS $1600.00 AND THERE WAS NO QUARANTEE HOW LONG THIS WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEMS I AM HAVING WITH THIS VEHICLE.
