Even though I have a GS , I can relate. First thing to do is replace the egr valve which is the 51.21. It's the cap which has all the hoses plugged into it. I'm pretty sure your egr valve is dirty or possibly worn out and therefore you need to replace it.

After I replaced the car, no more check engine light.
