Hi. I have this 2002 tracker (2.0 L - 4 Cyl). 75000 KMs and the motor started stalling when coming to a stop. I took it into the dealer and they advise that the EGR valve needs replacing. (From reading I've done already, this usually doesn't happen until much later in the car's life). I have two questions: 1. Is it reasonable for the dealer to charge $600.00 to replace and install new EGR.
2. I got into a fender bender (front end damaged a little) at Christmas time last year. Could this have caused this part to go early? Or was it probably a manufacturer defective part?

THanks for any help you can provide.
