Detailed Description

Apex AGR5017 is an EGR valve gasket used in emission control repairs where the valve-to-manifold or valve-to-adapter sealing surface must be renewed. This gasket is listed for applications including 1998-2001 Chevrolet Metro, 1989-2001 Suzuki Swift, 1998 Chevrolet Tracker, 1995-1998 Suzuki Esteem, 1996-1998 Suzuki Sidekick, and 1989-1997 Geo Metro. It also covers additional Chrysler, Dodge, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, Plymouth, and Suzuki models across the 1976-2001 range. If you are servicing an EGR valve on a Geo Tracker, Suzuki Sidekick, or Mitsubishi Montero, AGR5017 is the catalog reference to verify before installation.

This part cross-references common aftermarket listings for the same application, including 172286 and 182286.

What It Helps Address

• EGR valve exhaust leaks at the gasket surface
• Rough idle caused by a poor seal at the EGR mounting point
• Check engine light concerns related to EGR flow or sealing faults
• Exhaust odor or noise from a deteriorated gasket
• Service replacement during EGR valve removal and reinstallation

Installation Notes and Tips

Clean both mating surfaces before installation and remove all old gasket material, carbon buildup, and corrosion. Verify the EGR valve and mounting flange are not warped or damaged, since surface defects can prevent a proper seal. Confirm the vehicle application by year, make, model, and valve position before ordering. For fitment verification, this part fits 1998-2001 Chevrolet Metro, 1989-2001 Suzuki Swift, and 1989-1997 Geo Metro, along with the other listed applications.

Quality Assurance

Apex catalogs this gasket under part number AGR5017 for emission control service applications. Use the vehicle fitment list to confirm the correct EGR valve gasket for your specific model and year before installation.
