Check Engine Light - Honda-Acura.net

'09 RL check engine light came on for first time (110,000 miles) and went to after-market Honda mechanic - ran diagnostic and said EGR is clogged and cutting down on flow efficiency of recyling unburned fuel in the exhaust. He said it's not a big deal and not going to hurt engine, but may lose a little fuel mileage. To clean have to physically take apart and scrape out built up carbon - a 4 hour job and will run about $250-$300. Sound right? Any other solutions?

Sounds a little high for a mechanic, but can be a great way to break some knuckles doing it yourself
