I applied vacuum to EGR @ idle and although the EGR held the vacuum there was no stumble. Looks like my EGR tube is blocked.

Dealer wants 2.5 hrs labor ($97 per) to replace tube.

Indy said he'd clean it out for $200, but I can DO that!

Sooo, to anyone that's done this on a 104.941 engine (C280), how did you tackle this? Is it easier to clean it at the intake or did you 'snake' it at the EGR side?

If I decide to go the snake route, how long is the tube so I'll know how long of a cable/wire/other device I'll need for the job.

Thanks!
