How to replace the timing belt on the Suzuki Grand Vitara?

Model: Suzuki Grand Vitara MK 2 - Years 2005-2015
Part: Timing belt

To replace the timing belt on the Suzuki Grand Vitara, open the bonnet to access the components located inside the engine bay: here you will find the cover at the front of the engine block. Remove this cover to locate the pulleys with the belt underneath. By loosening the nut on the tensioner pulley, you can remove it and reduce the tension on the belt, allowing it to be removed from its housing. After removal, you can also reinstall all the components that were just taken off.
