No way it would take three weeks. It is more likely that he has three weeks of other jobs ahead of you.

Id sell it, in fact did mine, cuz suzuki is dead here, usa.
buy a real car, get say a toyota. (if rice is loved)
my guess you blew a V6? engine, the 2.5 or or 2.7L V6
called H25 or H27.
i think he is fibbing, btw. but.,..
if he did not take the engine out of car he would not know that.
he'd have to pull the crank shaft.
you failed to tell the full story, (type it in notepad and past it?)
did you drive it 30,000 miles and not change the oil>"??????
is the top engine packed in sludge, when inspected there?

so here is my wild and useless guess on the story.
1: engine lamp on, low oil pressure and or huge engine noises.
2: mech checks real oil pressure using a real gauge and is 1 to 2psi. and bad.
3: this is all you need, to see that the engine is shot. (see below)
but this engine has chain drive oil pump.
no miles stated.
50k,100k 200k 300k 500k what? must we guess miles??????


story 2, for the not knowing.
1: huge noise, you find cam chains bad, 250k miles>
and dont drive it , and fix it.
2: same deal but drive it and the change snaps and this interference engine smashes valves.. end of engine.
3; only the chain tensioner failed, and is so bad the oil side of it the oil pressure piston inside is wrecked, and leaks oil so bad
the oil pressure drops, well gee, fix it. now before #2 happens.

i bet your mech never worked problems like this/?

the tension'er is a hydraulic device.
it can in fact leak horribly. and drop oil pressure, and worse.
if you ignore the noise, it will cost you big MONEY.

that is called CASCADE failures. and most are costly.

SOURCE: where is the starter for a 2000 suzuki grand vitara located

starters are normally located at the rear of the motor usually hard to get too or see. should be on your bell housing in other words just in front of the gearbox/clutch

Try these easy things...take off clean and reconnect the battery cables, take to Auto Zone for a FREE computer hook up. More than likely if the battery hook up doesn't work it's the oxygen sensor.

SOURCE: engine management light on ,suzuki grand vitara 2

Take the car to an autoparts store and have them scan the computer for any fault codes stored. The check engine light is to alert you that the computer has noted a fault in one of the car's systems. Getting the codes will show what the computer has noted and curb the need for speculation. Most parts stores will perform the scan for free. Hope this helped and best wishes.

2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara DDi diesel engine. How to set the timing on it please?

The ignition timing is electronic, so presumably you want the camshaft valve timing.

How to change low beam lamp 2007 grand vitara

remove old lamp, install new.
its here the real manual.
https://suzukipitstopplus.com/category/3-suzuki-service-manuals.aspx

in general.
on newer cars in USA< (you never said location and every country has differ, DOT laws on lamps)
but on Euro TYPE lights, the lamp unscrews from the rear. of reflector body. (a twist lock lamp)
gain access and remove it.
for sealed beams (some countries mandate them) you must remove the
whole lamp assembly.
on most cars you need to gain access the assembly via panel removals.
its in the book, seen above, for USA only. or ask dealer or any mechanic. its just a 15min job. nothing expensive to get help.

Problems with clutch master cylinder on a suzuki grand vitara 2007 after replacing clutch master cylinder was ok for 6 weeks now no clutch pedal again!

I too am having problems with my 2006 GV clutch master cylinder. I noticed gradually over several weeks the gears and clutch pedal were degenerating and then the cluth gave completely. My mechanic took a look around and said the cylinder is the cheapest one he has ever seen, it's just a piece of plastic apparently! Is going to hopefully get the part this week or next, though he said as it's such a cheap and nasty part its likely it will happen again in the future. Not happy!
