I don't mind the check engine light staying on and the car does not go into limp mode. What's the downside of leaving it alone? I don't mind the minor shudder when the engine is turned off.

Throttle valve plays important role in DPF reneration.If you leave as it,it could damage your DPF.

I'm not sure why you're stuck on $700 repair. Pierburg (thru FCP Euro) is the oem supplier. $236.49 gets a new one. Took less than an hour in my driveway. No coding required. CEL will reset on its own.

Just fix it.
