Default Re: EGR Not Ready, the valve have been replaced, drove 600 miles

I spent over 900 dollars on various unnecessary repairs and diagnostics. The car was checked by 6 shops (and not just generic shops, but Mercedes and hi-end German specialty shops). No offence to small shops, but average mechanic would't even know where to look, so I was talking to automotive electronic specialists as well (not to be confused with an electrician who knows how to replace a light bulb).

Nobody knows...
Have you tried out the EGR connector?
If not go to the 2004 Service Manual, Engine 9-350 for details to check the wiring out.
