The timing belt of a car is one of the components that must be changed periodically or at specific intervals, following the guidelines set by the manufacturer. In regards to the Suzuki Grand Vitara, we can see from the video here how this work is carried out, that is, opening the engine hood and finding the belt in front.

To replace it, you need to first remove its cover, then act on the tensioner to loosen it and finally remove it from its seat. Often, it is preferred to also replace the auxiliary belt and the water pump along with it.
