The EGR valve is at least one of the spots where they get all coked up.
 I
tried to look into it one time to see what it would take to get in
 there,
and it's a fair amount of work to get it apart enough to clean it.
 $1200
does seem like it's a little high, but ask how many hours of labor
 they're
estimating and you'll probably be surprised. I think I've seen an
 estimate
around Portland for $400-600? It was in that ballpark, at any rate.

But if you're handy at all I'd suggest putting in the time yourself to
 clean
it out. I've heard that it works pretty often. There's a TDI forum
 somewhere
online that has step by step instructions for all kinds of stuff on
 those
engines. If you haven't found it already you should look it up.
