A year ago we bought our '03 GV from the local Suzuki Dealership. Not a big place but they seemed to do enough business. They were a spin off of a Chrysler...
Just a thought but that's for the European Vitaras which correspond with the 89-98 Geo/Chevy Trackers and Suzuki Sidekicks/Escudos etc. That said I've noticed...
The service contract you bought is not a "Suzuki" contract, it's just an insurance policy that was issued by some other company and was being sold and ...
Thanks, I'll have to try that, got the paperwork right here. That said I know at least most of the warranty is the 7 year/100k warranty that Suzuki crows so...
Sorry David but the "two stage" gas strut on the 2006 GV cargo door is in fact a "feature".... "side-hinged and opens to a full 90 degrees, but the gas strut...
Hi My 04 1.6SE went in for only its second annual service and it seems for some reason, that they over greased the two door stays/hinges, so much so that the...

... Oops, Len. Didn't read the model year. My comment applies to all earlier GVs and most any other gas struts. Apologies... david...

If you go to the photos section, you'll see why I ask this question. Word of wisdom...if you tow your car behind a motorhome, make sure there are not rocks...
Hi David, Yes I wiped the excees off as best I could, but no real solution. It seems there is no resitance in the stay, you can feel it try to lock but just ...

Kelly, My condenser looks slightly wider on the right side (passenger side for you) so I posted some relevant pics that I just happen to take a few months ago...
What's funny is I used to put screen like this over motorcycle radiators, but in metal. I haven't clue as to why I didn't on the Suzuki...just didn't think of...
The single engine-driven fan would probably have a higher air flow capacity than a single electric fan would, provided it's properly shrouded to the radiator...
Wow....you're in those kinda temps without tinted windows? How does your AC even function? My GV never cooled well above 75 degrees. I tinted the windows...
I have been reading these AC posts, interesting... I have not noticed any poor AC performance on my 2002 GV and I used to live in California's central valley....
You probably do have an updated AC system. In 1999, the Grand Vitara was Suzuki's largest vehicle to date. From what I hear, the AC system was similar, if...
Hello: My wifes' 2000 GV just developed a problem with pinging (detenation) in the last month. We had a tune up done around the holidays and it ran fine on a ...
If I remember correctly, there's a "knock" sensor that works with the computer to prevent detonation. If it goes bad, you get "knock" no matter what you do. ...
Randy: I was thinking it might be the knock sensor, but not knowing the details I assumed I'd have a check engine light associated with it. Thank you...

Me too.....I started hearing a very faint squeek the first time I would apply the brakes during the day (usually leaving my apartment complex), and that was...
Does anybody know where the rear diff breather terminates. I traced it going into the rear bumper area. I had a flat a couple of weeks ago, and noticed a...
David. I have a 1999 V6 GV. the rear diff breather is located in the tyre jack compartment. or at least that is where mine is located. Andrew Wale Melbourne...
