Hello. I own a Grand Vitara and live in São Paulo, Brazil. Last weekend, I was got stranded in a major flood, and was left with water up to the waist line....
Hi Mauro, I'm from S.Paulo too, I'm sorry to heard about your problems. Did you try Suzucar? They sell a lot of pre-owned parts with acceptable prices (most of...
Try EBAY :-) . The item you referred is called "ECM" here. You can email the seller if he's willing to ship it overseas ... Good luck. ... was got stranded...
If the car is running OK, the ECU will be fine. If it won't start, and you're sure the ECU is the problem, before spending any money I'd remove it, open the...
I'm with David, here, make ABSOLUTELY SURE it is the ECM causing problems, if you have any. Electronics are surprisingly reistant to water damage, if they do...
Ah, the rural US. It's amazing how many US cars are actually made with RHD for export. I know there are a couple of Jeeps, and for a while, I think American...
Hi, Mauro. I'm from Rio de Janeiro and we also had a lot of rain here since last Friday. My contri: a) Be sure you'll really need a new ECM, because it's too...
... and ... any ... car ... i second this attempt at cleaning it. a few years back a laptop i was using to dj from had an entire draft beer dumped on it....
I don't know about those of you in parts of the world not on the North American continent, but here, sometimes you've gotta freakin' YELL in someone's ear to...
... enoguh. ... It's a manual. Does it matter? For now, I'll probably get the diff fluid changed and get a second opinion on the serpentine belt. I'm going to...
We haven't gotten the diesel version of the GV in the US so I doubt the SX4 will get that option. From what I've read, we're going to get stuck with the 2.0...
... fuel maintenance too. ... Ah, in that case, and I've owned...oh, this is embarassing, a *few* which have aged past their useful lives. Sigh. Having a...

This really chaps my a$$. We're supposed to be a service and product based society, yet service seems to be rather lacking. Here's the deal. Back in...
Manuals can take more abuse and go longer between changes. That said, it's still got the original goo in there so I'd change it. ... manual ... you ... fuel...
... Sigh. ... Diesels are perfect for stop-and-go driving, but we like to think in ... at ... Heh, I bitch about this all the time. My truck's a 96 Ford...
Speaking of manual transmission and beating on them...am I the only one here with slow synchros? It seems when I am going from 1st to 2nd, I have to wait until...
Did you try JCWhitney? They sell A LOT of FIAM's stuff. I put a much louder single FIAM horn on the GV last fall. No more weenier meep meep horn. I ended...
My set of three is better, less expensive (notice I didn't say 'cheaper') and louder than the JCWhitney 'stuff'. I put all of my horn stuff right behind the...
G'day. I was on a trip with a KIA Spotage which had the ECM flooded in bog muddy hole. We took it out of the car, dried it in the sun for a few hours and to...
No problems here going from 1st to 2nd. My manual just absolutely hates going into reverse.....always has. It just seems to be getting worse with age. My...
Totally unnecessary. The transmission doesn't care one bit if you go from 5th to neutral. A sequential box works in such a way that it ONLY goes through...
I never do, when I anticipate a stop or get a stop light, I drop it into neutral. I would rather wear down the brake pads that the clutch and gears. Plus, on...
Bingo! The brakes are for stopping, and in many automatic- transmissioned autos, engine compression braking is almost non- existient, yet they have the same...
The local Suzuki (and Mazda/Mitsubishi/a bunch of other makes) dealer here in Vegas sells the actual individual parts for the drum brakes!!! Now, of course,...
Upon taking the LR wheel & drum off, what do I find but the spring I thought I lost wedged in between the end of the adjuster and the inside of the rear-facing...
