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

SOURCE: Water pump

Hello nedy...if you have the V6 engine, it will require the removal of the timing chain cover to access the water pump. The water pump is mounted to the engine block with 4 bolts. It is recommended that the bolts be replaced due to electrolysis (steel bolt in aluminum block) Replace all gaskets and o-ring seals as well.
While you are in there, you can inspect the timing chains, it has 3..and the chain tensioners. A Haynes repair manual would be helpful on this project and will have the correct torque specs.
Good luck...i hope this helps, please rate mr a fixya.

Replace engine fan pulley bearing

2.0L engine or 2.5L
we dont know which of 3 engines, unless yo say, thus the guessing game. (endless)
sounds like water pump bearings are out. and pulley flopping issues.
way end of life on pump.
the FSM covers this,
alldata.com cover this.

if you post the the engine, i can direct you to real forums for Suz,
that cover this 100 fold times.
use the wiki to find your real engine name (wiki suzuki, grand vitara)
then use google to find the zillion posts on topic
here ill gues at 2.5L like mine. (bty I have the real FSM on this car so not need to guess.)
2.5L V6 is called.
H20 ,25 and 27 are all one family of engine
so ill now google that for your, are you ready ? , its easy
https://www.google.com/webhp#q=suzuki+H25+water+pump+replacement

next the online info. (alldata.com ,etc)

quote minus photos
  1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the Precautions section.
  2. Drain the cooling system.
  3. Remove or disconnect the following:
    • Negative battery cable
    • Accessory drive belts
    • Front timing cover
    • Water pump
end quote.

id bet this one photo (google searched) shows what is at hand.
its on the wet side.

I have a 2004 2.0td YF54 AUY,103,000 miles What is required for timing belt replacement, also is it a belt or a chain? Garage is saying water pump would also need replacing?

It is a belt! check the water pump yourself. Look for leaks, there is a drain hole at the bottom of the pump and if there is any sign of water there the seal is leaking. Try move the pump pulley around to check for wear in the bearings and listen for strange noises - take a long screwdriver, place the end of the blade on the pump and put you rae to the handle, this will work like a stethoscope and relay any noises in the pump to your ear.

Do i need lock tool to change cam belt on a 03 grand vitara

I'd be first confirming whether you have a 1.6 litre Grand Vitara (petrol), or a 2 litre turbo diesel. The 2 litre petrol (straight 4 or V6) or 2.5 litre petrol engines are all chain drive.
If your engine is petrol then no lock tool is required (to hold the camshaft). Of course, there is a specific position that an engine should be rotated too before removing the belt from ANY engine.
If it's diesel, then although I'm unfamilar with that particular engine, the general requirement for diesel engines with high pressure injection pumps is "yes, you require a lock tool" to hold the injection pump pulley. As I think these are a common rail set-up, this requirement may not be necessary. Check with your Suzuki Dealer, or maybe someone else here will know more. A similar question may have already been asked and answered here too.

Installing water pump in suzuki vitara

I don't have an answer for you but maybe a solution. Other than having a shop manual you could try the library. In most cities there is a service that is free at the library. It's called "Alldata" and it is the same system that shops pay to subscribe to. It will tell you in detail how to get the pump out and back in.
