    I have a 99 Accord V6 with 110,000 miles. The Malfunction Indicator
    Lamp came on, and I ran the code and got P0401 Insufficient EGR Flow.
    I took it into the dealer and they said that the car has already had
    the service bulletin # 99-085 done to it (Must have had it done before
    I took ownership of the car). The wanted to charge me $300 to clean
    the egr valve and surrounding areas.

    My question is, Should they fix it for free since it supposedly was
    already fixed previously? Also, Is there a way to verify that the car
    does indeed have the bulletin # 99-085 done to it? Can I view the
    pipe/kit?

    I was under the impression that once the car got the kit, this problem
    would no longer occur.

    Thanks for the help!!!

    I think the EGR extended warrenty was for 80k and you are far past that. If
    the dealer wants too much go to a qualified service shop or pull it yourself
    and clean it. It probably won't fix your P0401 error as your Cat is probably
    bad
