Took the car to an independent, just across the state inspection. Result: "Checked EGR, OK. Oxygen sensor, OK. Recommend new Catalytic".
Took it to the MB dealer:
Results: "Catalytic OK, injectors OK. Recommend innitially to replace air injection check valve and MOT valve, remove intake manifold and replace EGR tube. Price: $900.00. However, final price can only be determined after performing first phase".
The car has 127,000 miles and had the 120,000 revision made at the MB dealer. Has new oxigen sensor, air flow meter, plugs, etc... No codes (single blink) and the only abnormality is a slightly fluctuation in idle speed (between 500 - 700 rpm).
Need someone to give me a clue of the probable causes and a sequence of tests I could perform to find them and get them fixed.
