The best EGR valve for an Audi A4 B8 is a Valeo.

Model: Audi A4 B8 - Years 2007-2016
Part: EGR valve

In this video, the YouTuber shares his experience regarding some brands of EGR valves replaced on an Audi A4 B8: after bad experiences with a Ridex that only worked for a month, and a Magneti Marelli that didn't even start, the best experience was with a Valeo, which has internal electronics with a proprietary circuit, sensors, and contacts with a specific design, and is absolutely identical to the original Audi. The key discovery is that the other two brands use the same low-quality electronic board, which does not communicate properly with the Audi control unit. We can find this valve, for example, on Amazon with the code B00CVZYOYU at a price of €176.85, with free one-day delivery for Prime customers. The important thing to know is that this valve is made in the same factory where the original Audi parts are produced.
