wiskid,
I also thank you for posting this. I had this same issue a few years ago when it was still under a "warranty" period that was supposed to cover "everything". Of course when I went to pick it up that was one of the things in fine print that wasn't covered. Talk about high cost, when my bill was all said and done it was just over a thousand dollars. They got the supposed ok from my wife on a phone call to use BG products to clean the throttle body and whatever else, so that added to the gouging. I was so pissed off. Now if it happens again I will refer back to your instructions and try it myself.

I would've been furious. That is so much money! Hopefully you won't have to deal with it again. Anymore, it takes a lot for me to take a vehicle to the garage. I am willing to try anything before paying someone to do it for me.

I am getting this code also. I am researching the gaskets needed for the job. I have found the egr gaskets, but can't find the 2 gaskets on the manifold at each end. They are round with 3 holes. Any ideas?

I was able to reuse all the gaskets. But if you need new ones, RockAuto has them.

It is under the EGR gasket category in Emissions. It is the gasket for "pipe" For a 2007 2.7L Grand Vitara, it is Fel-Pro part #71026. Cost in $1.90 each.

More Information for FEL-PRO 71026

Hope this helps.

I just checked and it seems the EGR systems are the same on the following:
2002-2006 XL-7 with 2.7L V6
1999-2008 Grand Vitara with 2.5L or 2.7L V6

As a result, these gaskets work on the above models.

EGR Pipe Gasket (2 required) Fel-Pro part # 71026

I still need the 2 on the intake.

Sorry, I misunderstood your previous post. It looks like you can buy a set that has everything. I can't find them individually.

Oh!

I see manifold gaskets listed, but can't confirm as correct without a diagram. I can look them up on Tuesday at work if no one else chimes in.

There is a bit of mis-information about this. Everyone calls this an "Air Intake" however the Suzuki repair manual refers to this as the "Intake Collector"

By doing research on the "collector gasket" i came across 1 place that sold the gaskets by themselves (not in a set) or as a pair (cuz you need 2 obviously lol)

Home Page | O'Reilly Auto Parts

add your zuk and search "Collector Gasket"

 

[Max]

I was looking at your O'Rielly parts link. I don't think those are the ones you need, as they are exhaust collector gaskets. Not that they won't fit / work mind you.

Normally I can get this on-line site to display diagrams and then ID parts, but not today. :huh:

My hardback parts manual is at work, so tomorrow for sure with an OE part number.

You could also pound out some of your own gaskets from generic sheet stock. There are no significant heat or pressure considerations at that joint. Gasket paper and a skim coat of RTV sealant?

 

[jstyles503]

yeah i think your right Max, i was going based off the shape of joints.

After looking at this video (although this is a Grand Vitara) the engine looks very similar to the one in the XL7. you can kind of catch a glimpse of the gasket as they pull the intake manifold off:

it looks more like these:

and just for reference anyone needing an exploded diagram of the intake system see this diagram:

[jstyles503]

Thanks Max.

I assume it's the same Part # for every year? ( i have a 2006)

i didnt see it on suzukiparts.com after i verified my year. found it on partsgeek, but they only have 1 in stock

 

[Max]

That is a good assumption, but double check with a counter person prior to committing.

Let us know too!

[jstyles503]

parts geek separates the Front from the Rear plenum gaskets.

anyway to tell if the part # is for the front or rear max? (for this thread's purpose)

"Genuine" seems to be the only brand that makes the rear intake plenum gasket, I've googled their part number and found it on another site so i can order 2.

 

[Max]

The three bolt holers are rear. The front are two holers, no? :huh:

If you need both ends...get the whole kit mentioned earlier!

 

[jstyles503]

That is correct. and i just need the rear ones.

 

[Max]

Then the three bolt hole ones we've been focusing on then.
Get em' ALL here for $31.79 though, if availability is better.
2006 SUZUKI XL-7 Intake Manifold Gasket

I see that AutoZone carries that full Felpro kit, but the PRICE. $53.99 + tax!
NAPA will probably be through the roof, FWIW.

[jstyles503]

buying the whole set is definitely the better deal. good looking out max.

there is no tax here in oregon, but Eff that lol i just bought the one from RockAuto.

 

[Baldan Dugly]

Thanks everyone. I will see what is more economical, the kit or the individual gaskets. I'm sure others will be helped from all of the input.

 

[jstyles503]

I attempted this job this weekend. Started Sunday afternoon and now it's Monday night and and I'm about 40% putting it back together.

Word of advice to anyone attempting this, be patient and don't plan anything besides working on your car.


I ended up having to remove the throttle body first before the intake collector in order to do that I had to also remove the fuel rail. But once all that was out of the way it pretty much was a breeze.
