I almost had my Sprinter towed to Animas Automotive before I decided just to order an EGR valve from EuroParts. Animas Automotive quoted a new EGR valve for my 2006 3500 for a little over $500.00 and gave me an over the phone guess of about 2 hours labor to replace. To be fair this was a phone conversation and not a written quote after a vehicle inspection. The new EGR valve/gasket from EuroParts cost about $460.00 with overnight FEDEX shipping included.
If I had't thought to bring along my Autel 802 Scanner on the trip I would of had it towed to Animas Automotive as they were the only game in town. The Scanner pointed to an EGR Circuit failure. My guess on a bad EGR valve turned out to be correct. I was lucky it wasn't something else.

I also called the Durango Dodge dealership. They said they didn't work on Sprinters but did sell parts for them. They wanted over $1,000.00 for a new EGR valve!!
By avoiding a computer scan at Animas to find the problem, a tow and labor/parts I figured I saved at least a few hundred dollars.
