You can't look at it like that.
If the EGR stat isn't closing properly the it's not letting the flow of coolant be held at the main stat, it acts as a bypass route
So, again, the cheaper option is to replace the EGR stat first as it's cheaper (around £12) and an easy DIY as you won't lose any coolant) then if that stat change doesn't cure it replace the main one !
