Sorry I haven’t worked on this car in a very long time. I’m not sure if it has a bleeder valve for coolant. I just usually use my coolant bleeding kit I bought off of Amazon to bleed my vehicles cooling system now.
Hi my daughter recently broke down in vitara thought it was battery next day broke down again and couldn't start after replacing battery she said it makes weird noise not sure where it comes from maybe engine
Hi tommy I have an electrical problem with my transmission some time I feel it not shifting probably because of a week electric signal and i checked the solenoids electrically and it was good but the problem still there. please advise.
Hi Tommy i have un problem with my grand vitara v6, the altenatir didn't filled the battery, i change the alternator and the problem still remain, can you helde please
@@mariog6656 just take off the stuff that is connected to the valve cover in order to take the valvecover off. i am not sure about the order also. some people like to start from the inside out or vise versa when re installing. sorry couldn't be more clearer.
Hey Tommy! I have a GV 2008 2.7L V6 which is making a whoooah whooah/whine noise at certain RPM (1800-2000) while driving. Can not imitate the sound at neutral. Everything else is working fine with the car. Any suggestion?
@@tommyfacekicker Thanks! but it doesn't happen while in neutral or park (revving the engine to that RPM) which bent towards not a problem with the belt right?
Hello Tommy My grand Vitara is shaking and I feel it inside the car . That happens when the car is not moving and the engine is running and warm. What do you think about this problem? Thanks
I realize this post is 3 years old, but if you still check it and have any experience with a check engine code P2631 on a 06 GV, can you advise on what has failed and need replacing?
My 2006 grande vitara is having a problem the car if it runs it overflow the coolant resivor but when its not running only turn on wont do it i put new thermostat check the radiator and put all new can you tell me how you can help me tganks
Hi tommy, i have a grand vitara 06 sometimes it flashes N, 4L and Diff lock lights on but not blinking, it stays like 5 seconds and no buzzer sound and car slows down. When i try the 4l 4h modes it works properly. I have this issue when in standart 4h mode. Thank you :)
sorry im not familiar enough with the grand vitara. other cars that have that issue may be due to solenoids on the transmission going bad, low trans fluid. thats where i would start.
Hi. I have the same issues like those. Replaced the the transfer case fluid, but still has that lights coming sometimes. Haven't replaced the ignition coils and spark plug though. I might want to those first. Thanks for sharing.
@@mb-ls5vw I had the spark plugs replaced earlier today. Surprisingly, the flashes disappear. Ignition coils still in best condition, so I didn't replace those. The plugs are the worst. I'll have to observe again within this week. Thanks a lot. You're the best. Cheers.
@@brothermantis5149 I having the same issue right now, The lights keeps flashing with a sudden lose in acceleration. I have replaced the spark plugs and cleaned throttle body and pcv valve. I hear clicking sound like relay under glove box
Morning i have a problem with my Gran vitara three door the instrument cluster not working .And can you tell me the best Scan tool that works on these Suzuki's
that should be simple. that just means its the intake tube that runs from the air filter to the throttle body. we had that same issue before too and it was cheapest to buy that part from our local dealership instead of going to autozone or buying it online.
turns out that the hose that goes to the fuel pressure regulator was cracked all the way down the line and it was causing the car to die. the problem went away after the hose was replaced.
Mines is doing the same thing too changing the hose and fuel pressure regulator see if i have any luck any answers on why the traction control light blinking?
@@heribertosandoval4192 not sure about the traction control light blinking. the car's a/c compressor is starting to go bad and its causing the engine to stall when you come to a stop now.
Hey so I have a 2008 Grand Vitara, it over heated and needed the head gasket to be changed, now the mechanic won't get it start, says it's a compression problem, he got it to start once but haven't since then, is there anything he should be checking that is preventing it from starting?
could be a number of things unfortunately. if it overheated and then you did a head gasket job, the heads should've been resurfaced and the block checked for warpage before reinstalling the new head gaskets. otherwise its just gonna blow again. so check for compression. if you have compression, fuel , and spark, then the car should start and run. a cam or crank sensor was damaged during the work being performed, it may also stop the car from running. sorry i hope this helps.
The engine was block was redone in a machine shop for the warping, before the new gasket was installed, he got it to start once since then but never again. Thanks for you reply, I will let him know about the sensors.
@@Tripout91 that sounds good. if it started once then died, could also be a fuse, recheck timing, and then see if compression, spark and fuel is there. if your missing one of those 3, thats where your issue would be. no fire is a sign of coil or computer/relay issues. hope this gives you more of an idea of where to look. does it still crank?
@@tommyfacekicker ok so to update you, my mechanic said I need a new engine. He is getting it to start but says it takes long and kills the starter and that even if it started it would give me problems down the road. I don't have a clue about anything he said but should I leave it at that? A new engine would cost me alot where I live. Should I take it to an electrician? A different mechanic? Or get the new engine?
@@Tripout91 that really sucks. thats why i don't go to shops anymore. they did the work, and now it still doesn't run. i hate to give this advice but, you paid someone to do head gaskets and now it doesn't start or run. sounds like timing is off bad. I would contact BAR if they are a shop. I wouldn't pay them.
not sure what 120km translates to in mph, but it could be an issue with the transmission or check the thermostat. other cars will have a high rpm when the thermostat is stuck in the open/failsafe position and that keeps the engine running cooler so the rpms stay up higher.
first checkif its the alarm. then check the fuses. next check the starter. if you dont know how to check the starter, take it out and autozone will check it for free. if those arent the issues then it could be your ignition switch. hope this helps. theres tons of reasons why it won't start but these are a few of the most common ones.
@@countryboy140 glad it was just a fuse for u. this car is a nightmare. now having issues with the car dying when the a/c is turned on. I replaced the compressor and still dies. the car won't die if the compressor doesn't kick on though.
Came here looking for comments like yours 😀. I want to know what the vitara like with the 1.9 renault desiel engine and it seems suzuki are even more un reliable with the renault diesel engines in.

How critical is the positioning of the high and low speed fans on the suzuki vitara ,which fan goes where?
Tommy where does Tha line attach to it looks like mine was put in wrong and causes the same exact thing
I have a 2006 2L Suzuki grand venue i need help with the sump how to get it off 😫 so people say oil pan please if you could help me please

Also, what order would you suggest tightening the bolts back on the cover, I have no manual for the vehicle.
