[net.auto] EGR light

dscherer@ihuxe.UUCP (09/19/83)

About a month or so ago my "check EGR" light lit up on my
'77 Dodge Colt (now there's a real muscle car).  This light
supposedly goes off every 15k miles as a reminder to go to
the dealer, pay $22, and make sure your engine's running
just hunky-dory.  I,ve just bought this car this year with
no knowledge if the previous owner did so every 15k miles.
the car is just about reaching 51,000 on it, the engine is 
very clean, doesn't blow cumulus clouds of blue clouds or
for that matter uses very little oil at all.

My questions are:

	1) Did previous or do current owners of Dodge cars
	   that have this handy-dandy light find it necessary
	   to bring it in to be looked at every 15,000 miles
	   and if so was it worth it (if they found something
	   wrong with your engine which would have made it short-
	   lived).
	
	2) Where is the switch located that will turn this
	   light off? It can be a nuisance at night.
