So 2 years ago at 98000 miles the OE egr valve threw a P0404 code.
I bought a BWD replacement (EGR1582)
1 year and 6600 miles later it went bad.
1 year 8 months later and 14600 miles it went bad.
It is an electronically controlled and monitored EGR valve. I did all the typical disconnect / reconnect the connector, clear the codes, they come right back, wiggle the wires no change.
Replace the EGR valve and no more codes (for a year or so)
I would try a different manufacturer but this one has a lifetime warranty and I can replace it in 20 minutes
Any thoughts
