I’m currently getting P0401 on my 07 GV 2.7 V6. It rough idles and dies at times when stopped. For some reason the engine in this video is different. I thought the 06 and 07 had the same V6 engine. Mine is a pain to get to that’s why I’m searching videos.
Hi, you do not have the same engine, the engine shown in the movie is 10.2005-02.2015 kW / Hp: 95/129 Ccm: 1870 Diesel SUZUKI GRAND VITARA II (JT, TE, TD) 1.9 DDiS four-wheel drive.
@JustJay 0312 I have the exact same year and engine as yours and getting the same error (P0401). I can barely start the engine by continuously pumping gas pedal while turning the ignition. Also, while idle, the revs are not steady and feels like it will shut off. I am about to attempt to remove the EGR valve to inspect it and clean it but wondering if you have found some instructions specific to our engine type?
@@skguzek I remember a little over a year ago it was doing this same thing with this code and I attempted to remove the EGR myself and got about two thirds in and gave up because how difficult it was. It’s at the rear of the engine on the passenger side. The bottom bolts are pretty easy to access but on the top one bolt is easy to get to but it’s the other one that’s a pain. I was going to buy a new valve and do it myself. So after I bolted it back up I drove on the highway and floored it a few times and the symptoms went away. I cleared the code and just recently it’s doing it again. I’m sure that method will only work for so long. It’s inevitable it will have to be cleaned or replaced with a new one. I have along 150k on mine, and it does burn oil. It puffs blue smoke on cold starts also. It’s actually been a reliable vehicle, but i don’t think I’m going to spend money on a top end rebuild to address the burning oil issue.
I have the same exact issue, I got mine done for $1500 dollars and the guy that did also complained about how difficult it was to get to it. He didn’t cleaned it though, he just replaced it, a few months later the engine light came back on and so I took it back to him and he was like, oh yea.. I forgot to clean it.. if you want me to do it it’s gonna cost you another 1500 … So I was like F you… I’ve been driving it for at least 10 yrs now and it’s still running lol Will have to get rid of it soon though.. Nice car, but I think that’s a common issue with them..
Hello! If there is a fault with the egr valve, this light comes on, but it can light up for other reasons, must read fault codes for and find the fault
Хорошая машина. Хочу купить нашёл один но стучит шатун и белый дым. Стоит ли брать такую машину с такой проблемой? Буду благодарен за ответ. Я подписался на вашу канал и поставил лайк. 👍
Hi, When white smoke comes out of the exhaust, it is quite certain that it is the top gasket that is bad, then there will be water leakage that came into the cylinders and there will be white smoke from the exhaust. New top gasket must be replaced. thank you for subscribing to my channel, there will be more movies :-)
You're my type of guy.... we are so few, but our taste for this type of music, is premium
Thanks mate that’s really helped 👍
You welcome, glad you liked it.
Thank you very much, great video. A query, to disassemble the EGR tube a female torx wrench is necessary, what size is it?
Hi, thanks for the comment. the size of the torx is E8. good luck

Why you change with this valvle? It's new type or change for remove egr?
If I remove the EGR Valve and Manifold to clean it, do I need to program it when i put it back or is just plug and play?
Thanks
Hi, Thanks for watching. Is just plug and play :-)
I greet you from the Czech Republic. Please, I can't remove the electric clamp from the valve. Thanks for the advice.
Hi, useful video. Is there a special way to disconnect the wiring harness on the EGR or is it just brute force?

There is a small clip you need to press down
What is the approximate cost for parts and labor for 2008 Suzuki, Grand Vitara?
Hi, the price of an egr valve costs from NOK 2000 and up, the job takes about 2 hours. Hope this helps :-)
Is this what causes the injection light to come on as a fault?
Hello! If there is a fault with the egr valve, this light comes on, but it can light up for other reasons, must read fault codes for and find the fault
Hi, if I do this to my vehicle will the engine light come on?

Why would you do this?
it does not look like the replacement is the correct part. too many differences the most notable being the electrical connection.
I think that's the reason he made another video to clean the old EGR valve
made in czech :-)
Bonjour
slow.
