The new ones are better...

But, I'm a regular on the forums. It seems the problems I had mirrored the problems others had/have. My car was not unique.

By the way, by the time the 2nd EGR cooler failed, I was growing quite tired of the poor quality and I started machining replacement parts myself. (I have a home based machine and TIG welding shop) I repaired the EGR cooler, the Anti shudder/throttle valve (an electric throttle that actuates on shutdown) and the transmission bell housing that shattered when the flywheel exploded.

That car was a horror on wheels.
