I have a 2002 1.6 Suzuki Grand Vitara which jumps out of 4 wheel drive on occasion, is this a common fault and is it an easy fix? Also I need to locate the ERG valve. Thanks Wildpunto

Hi, The Suzuki Grand Vitara is a superb vehicle, several reasons can be applied to rear end noise.

Most are not expensive or difficult to repair. However a few can be expensive.
Lets look at the most common, wheel bearings, are the usual component to wear and require replacement, if it is a wheel bearing, its much better to have both wheel bearings replaced.

A wheel bearing will become noisy at certain speeds and give of a distinctive noise, best noticed on a flat road.
However a repair shop can easy diagnose a wheel bearing for you.
Other problems could be found within the differential back axle, this can again be easily diagnosed by the engineer looking for a wheel bearing fault.

I hope this proves to be helpful

Search on google 2000 suzuki grand vitara drive cycle. This will reset all monitors unless there is a problem.

if you google "grand vitara vibration" you will find a discussion board about the many many grand vitaras getting around with a vibration problem. I happen to be one of these people and am seriously thinking of selling the car after all the problems I have. It appears to be a drive train design fault which will cost a fortune to fix, believe me its not a tyre problem, ive had 4 wheel alignlents and balances and it never seems to fix the problem.Take it to a mechanic and let them have a good look at it.

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.

these are seal bearing and they need to be press out and press back in this need to be done with a hydralic press not with harmer i can help if yopu are in the nyc are call me 718-821-1640
