My mechanic accidentally pinched and broke 1 of the pipes that come off the egr valve in my 96 benz 280 (it looked like a pasta noodle). He remedied it by placing a hose laying around in his shop. (This happened while replacing my spark plugs). Instead of looking which one broke ( i called a MB local dealer ). The 1 that leads to the intake manifold is $188.00. The 1 that leads to the exhaust manifold is $18.00. My mechanic suggested to change both since both are probably brittle as hell by now. Will this be better? Check engine comes on intermittently, sorry i forgot to get the code. But it had something to do with the egr vacuum. Forgive my cluelessness, i'm not a car guy. Thanks for all your help.
