Has anyone paid a dealer to replace the EGR sensor?
Curious what they charged.
Thanks in advance.

It is the EGR pressure transducer (sensor) that causes the issue, not the EGR valve. Many have stated the EGR valve when they meant the sensor.I'm a bit confused. Some of you said you replaced the sensor. Others have said the replaced the EGR valve?
Mine wasn't noticeably wet but was still the culprit of all my misfiring. Could just be bad quality control on the part, who knows. Either way, it's a cheap part that's easy to replace so can't hurt to give it a shot.What is causing the sensor to get wet though? Is that normal?
Interestingly, with the arrival of colder weather, my issues seems to have gone away.Thanks! I guess maybe I'm one of the "lucky ones" whose issue goes beyond this sensor. Or, I had a near immediate failure of my replacement of this craptastic part.
I am currently having this issue. About a month ago it was so bad it threw a CEL (O2 sensor code - P0131). I changed erg sensor with no change in performance. The CEL cleared itself and finally got it into the dealer and they said it was a bad O2 sensor. The part is on order and I should have it back tomorrow.
I'm hopeful, but not optimistic.

I ordered this part and received it in 4 days. I’ve looked at the old one and wanted to ask this: can’t you just take the bolt off, cut the hoses well below the top clamps, making the bottom connection for the old hoses easier to see and get off? I’ve read where people cut the top clamps, etc. I’m thinking I’ll just use wire cutters on the hoses and get the sensor off, then disconnect at the lower end. This is the easiest way, correct? I may be missing something. Thanks. Enjoy this site and the knowledge gained.Yes. Mine came with the ring same as yours, might have to ask you later which hose goes to where, when it's time to install.
I haven't replace mine, I went to a 30K miles service and they did a fuel induction cleaning. The tiny bucking that I feel is gone. I notice that the dealer recommended to do the fuel induction service every 10k miles after 30K. I need to learn how to do the induction next since it rides like new again.I ordered this part and received it in 4 days.

This may be easier, but I just used a pair of needle nose pliers and pulled the clamps back and it wasn't too difficult to get the tubes off after unbolt. You may have more trouble if you cut the tubes as the sensor and tubing give you something to grab onto.I ordered this part and received it in 4 days.

EVERYTHING, for EVERY vehicle I've ever owned. There are two (three? warrantee work?) reasons to go to a dealer.I'm going to attempt to fix everything I can and only go to the dealership when it's the last option.
