Will replacing the EGR valve fix my Suzuki SX4?

Hi, I have a Suzuki SX4 1.6 diesel, and I have been told the EGR valve needs to be replaced. It has been cleaned by main dealer but the light has come back on the dash. Is replacing the EGR successful? Quoted approx €600.00.

Hi Sean,

If the EGR valve is the problem then yes, replacing it will fix it. It's very difficult to successfully clean these things.

It might be worth bringing the car to another mechanic to get a second opinion before splashing out though.

Let us know how you get on.
