#292 of 314 Re: little or no heat!!! [troyan] by dlll Jul 23, 2008 (3:29 am)
Replying to: troyan (Jan 20, 2008 9:26 am) Twice I had the problem with my 99 Vitara. On the control lever behind the dash the connectin has a very weak plastic ring/clip. It breaks easily. The first time the clip was replaced with multiple clips at a dealership. They lasted three years. This time I had the repair done with metal clips which were welded (non-dealership service). Hopefully your problem is as minor as mine. Just annoying.
#293 of 314 2000 suzuki vitara oil change by chriscameron Aug 24, 2008 (8:44 am)
Wal-Mart broke off my dipstick when they changed the oil last and didnt let me know...I changed my own oil today and couldnt tell from the manual how much oil to use - it looks like 4.4 quarts. HERE'S the question: I have a 2000 Vitara 2.0 stick-shift, 4x4, soft top, 2-door with broken dipstick...How many quarts of oil do I use, and do I use one less iff putting SLICK 50 in it? Thanks.

Replying to: troyan (Jan 20, 2008 9:26 am) I had the same problem with my 2002 Suzuki Vitara, when I brought it to the mechanic he said it was a cable that came loose, he put it back in place and it worked immediately. It did manage to come off within a week of him fixing it. He put it back in place and my heat has been working like new ever since. I noticed that it was not working earlier this year.

What ever happened?  I have an almost exact situation. Thanks, Suzanne Replies to this message: branwenw (Nov 14, 2008 5:00 am) suzanneg1 (Nov 14, 2008 8:08 am)

Replying to: suzanneg1 (Nov 13, 2008 7:47 pm) Two mechanics had told me it was the timing chain. The dealership replaced a gasket. Two days later it was back in. This time it was the tensioner. Two days later it was back in for the same noise. The third time they determined it was a generic oil filter. They replaced the filter with a Suzuki oil filter, and the noise appears to have disappeared. Replies to this message: suzanneg1 (Nov 14, 2008 8:08 am)
