Daughter's 2010 Yeti. Local non franchised garage tells her that the EGR needs replacement rather than dpf. Quote given of £1200. Is this reasonable? Any suggestions?

A local VW specialist garage tells us that replacement of the EGR is fairly commonplace as far as their experience goes. Is this so?

Yes.
It sounds like this must be a 4x4, a lot more involved just getting to it.

Hi Urrell. Since posting this. Our local VW/Skoda specialist independent has quoted £800 and says they are experienced at replacing the EGR and that with a 4x4 it is a pig of a job. Contacting the franchised Skoda dealer they quoted  £2500 - eye watering and obviously didn't want the work or didn't have mechanics capable.
