Mechanical Question re Suzuki Grand Vitara
Current 2.0 version - does anyone know whether it has a cam chain or belt, and how often it should be changed. I've searched all over the shop, but I'm buggered if I can find an answer anywhere!

Re: Mechanical Question re Suzuki Grand Vitara
Well the old one had a belt, so i would imagine that the new one has also. As for intervals, again, the old 1.6 was every 50k i believe!

Re: Mechanical Question re Suzuki Grand Vitara
the new one is still a belt and the service schedule says replace every 60k miles.
 Cheers Mark.

Re: Mechanical Question re Suzuki Grand Vitara
That chart says G16 engine only, that'll be a 1.6L won't it?

Re: Mechanical Question re Suzuki Grand Vitara
Bit of further digging tells me that it is actually a J20 engine in the 2006 model (current shape car). The Suzuki service manual for this engine makes no reference to Camshaft Timing Belt, only the Accessory Drive Belt, which appears to operate the water pump. Reading a bit further down in section 1D-86, it shows how to inspect the cam chain, so I am assuming here that this would not routinely need inspecting.
http://newgrandvitara.net/FAQ/Servic...araSMpart1.pdf Would people agree with me on that one? (Rictus!)
