How often do EGR valves fail, in a modern Mercedes?

I believe that the system is based on technologies which have been around for a long time and that these technologies are reliable enough to offer trouble free operation.

I would like to hear from you, what specifically you believe will be the weak link of this technology.

Not true remove the battery from your C43 and romp on the gas and see what happens, it will stall. Your postulates are interesting but are based not on fact, but your armchair research. I suggest you get your hands dirty and try things out rather than making statements which are untrue.
