EGR P0402
I have an intermittent check engine light due to code p0402. I know this is related to EGR system but not certain where to start. Any help would be appreciated. I have cleaned the EGR valve but didn't go any deeper. When I clear the light, it comes back in about a week. Any ideas? 2008 E320 Bluetec 94,000 miles.

Check condition of seal ring (part # 0259973448 about $2) if fine you may need to replace valve - current part # 6421401860 to comparison shop, parts.com $312.

I haven't seen a seal ring on the EGR. (maybe that is the problem!!!). Is this where the EGR attaches to the engine. There are two screws that hold the EGR onto the engine. I can also contact the parts guy at MB.

EGR check engine light on/off
I cleaned up the EGR; reset the check engine light and then the check engine returned (about 40 miles after reset) and then went away after driving around 60 miles. Does anyone know why it would go out after coming on? Any ideas on this would be great to hear.
I have since driven the car over 5000 miles with no check engine light. I'm thinking problem is fixed for now.

I've cleaned my EGR, but the CEL keeps coming on and going off randomly. About every other day. The car runs perfectly by the way.
I haven't "reset" the light. I don't have a scanner or anything. Do you think that the CEL needs to be cleared, or will it clear itself if the problem is fixed?
Or should I run by some auto shop/dealer/autozone and have them clear it to see if it returns?
Any thoughts?

I would expect the light to clear itself if the problem is resolved..
Thanks Chip,

If you want to know more about OBD-II codes and such, then Haynes has an excellent book "OBD-II & Electronic Engine Management Systems". Haynes Techbook 10206, ISBN 1 56392 612 1. It is written for the technically-minded, lay-person. I got mine at Pep Boys.
