C230K

P0410 fixes?

***Moderator...I realize this probably should go somewhere else but the thread it should be in appears not to have much activity. I understand if you delete this, but I am aware of the rules. Thx.

Friends:

I have an '04 C230K with the 4 cyl engine. For the past couple weeks it has thrown the P0410 code. 2 codes show: P0410 and P0410 [pending]. After reading and erasing the code, it comes back after a couple days/couple hundred miles.

I have read this thread a couple times and it looks like the engine discussed above is not the 4 cyl. I have a Haynes manual and have located the air injection exhaust gas recirculation combination valve...it looks simple enough to replace.

I am not a top mechanic but willing to give things a go if they are simple. So, rather than take it to my guy who can probably fix this in a day, can anyone let me know:

1) is the recirc combo valve the problem, and if so, is it hard to replace?
2) is it some other sensor/relay and if so, what, where and how hard to replace?
3) expensive part? better left to a mechanic to fix this?

Thanks in advance for a moment of your wisdom. Hope I can return the favor in the future.
