Hi All, As the title suggests, a mate has a 1999 Vitara wagon and the CHECK ENGINE light comes on, he has been to a mechanic and the scan tool says 051 EGR. When he checked with SUZUKI, a replacement cost of $549.00 was quoted. Does the EGR need to be replaced or can it be serviced/ cleaned? Alternately, can you get aftermarket parts? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. |

It is most likely that the EGR valve/port is fully blocked with carbon or something like that. I'd suggest you pull it off and clean it out including the ports. |

^ what he said. Code 51 means that there is a problem with the EGR system, it doesn't necessarily mean a problem with the EGR valve itself. Code 51 is almost always coked up passageways. |

Hi All, Thankyou for the replies. Any suggestions as to what to use as a cleaning agent? Will we need any gaskets? Also do we only need to clean the EGR valve area in the manifold? |

I'd use carb cleaner, theres a metal gasket, you might as well replace that while its off. |
