Suzuki questions
Posted: Tue Dec 15, 2009 7:00 am
Hi new to 'this side' and normaly lurking on the Land Rover or Toyota sites but would be grateful for you guys and girls sharing your Suzuki knowledge............OK crawling done now down to business.
Looking at purchasing a 2 litre Grand Vitara Turbo Diesel Year 2002 for the missus.
Having driven the car it has what can only be decribed as noisy tappets until the engine rev counter shows about 3200 rpm. The noise comes and goes in all gears (manual) at those particular revs. The noise also disapears if you come right off the throttle i.e. changing gears, it sounds like the fuel injectors on my old Granada which used to cut in and out with gear changes but this is much louder.
The car runs perfect other than this noise the owners says it has always done this, the service book shows all up to date via dealer.
The car also needs a timing belt so wondered if that is a DIY job/special tools if so could someone point me in the right direction for a workshop manual pref online to save time ect?
regards
Dave
