Model: Suzuki Vitara TA, MK 1, ET - Years 1988-1998
Part: Timing belt

In order to replace the timing belt of the Suzuki Vitara, you need to loosen the screws that secure the panel in the front of the engine block. Once the screws of the panel are loosened, you will be able to locate the belt underneath. This belt must be removed by reducing the tension, completely removing the tensioner pulley. After the pulley is removed, you can slide the belt off the pulleys and install the new one. After installation, you need to cover everything back up with the panels and check the proper functioning of the engine.
