How long will a timing chain last on suzuki vitara
what a great question. and very easy , really.
stock chains or aftermarket???????
last in years, or miles>>???????
in town , short years, car not moving , but chain is, at Stop signs.
on highway many miles.
miles:
a china clone chain will not last.
a top brand will last.
most last for 250k miles or more.
if you chain oil on time. all cars made. all engines with chains.
or what ever FATE decides.
There are also CHAIN GUIDES, if a GUIDE fails
the chain wips and guess what, DIES soon,.
so its not just a chain , it is a system or parts that work together.
Codes p0455
03 VIT
no engine option stated. hard.
0455 is classic EVAP. failure.
99.9% are loose gas cap or bad gas cap.
tighten it, reset the DTC and drive, comes back, then its real.
EVAP is the fuel tanks , venting system. its a Closed system.
now.
the code means it has leak.
in the smog station the first test is the cap is removed
and a pressure test cap inserted on the filler neck. and
we do the classic, leak down rate test.
if it fails you fail.
not surprising, if the cap is tight and new, and you fail evap
we do that test too, first. omg it does leak.
i then hold a 1/2 rubber hose to my ear and find the leak.
we use pressure at 1-2 psi on the filler neck (shop air and reg)
to apply air, and test the system for leaks.
we use dry nitrogen, for safety but if frisky?, real air works too.
if not up to all that, you can inspect every inch of the system
and might find a cracked or hose that fell off the vents.
and friends.

On some key fobs for alarms and central locking if you change the battery it has to be done in a set time or it fails to work.is it a factory or aftermarket device?

Horn does not work, checked
Hello and welcome to FixYa!
Have you tried another horn? If it still fails then the problem can be on the fuse or wiring itself. There must be faulty wiring that's why it won't work. I strongly suggest that you take it to a reputable auto electrician for this will require an on hand trouble shooting.
Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!
