Re: 2006 G16b idle issue

My local Suzuki dealership has sorted the issue by replacing the fuel filter! They couldn’t find any fault using their diagnostics but noticed that the fuel filter appeared to be the original factory fitted when the car was made. I was very very sceptical that changing the fuel filter would sort the...

2006 G16b idle issue

My 2006 Grand Vitara 1.6 G16b has an intermittent fault with the idle speed, the car has 19000 miles on it, yes 19000. The car starts and runs without issue but after travelling for one mile or so if you come to a junction and have to stop the car won’t idle, the revs just drop off and the engine st...

GV tyres

I would like to give my 89-05 3 door GV a bit more ground clearance but don’t really want to fit a lift kit.

GV tyres

Any recommendations for all terrain tyres for a 98 -05 1.6lt GV?
Not interested in really rough off roading rather off road when fishing or picking up with the dogs etc?
Tyres are 215/65/16 fitted on standard alloys.

E10 Petrol

I’ve just bought a very low mileage Grand Vitara 98 to 05 fitted with the G16B 1.6lt petrol engine, Will this run on E10 without any issues?
