Hi all,

Have noticed my Vitara to be a little sluggish at times and I want to give it a good service.

I'd like to know what the best things are to replace when doing so and are there any specific brands you guys find better than others? Will also be attempting to change the timing belt and water pump whilst its all apart.

I was thinking of changine the following;

Spark Plugs
Ignition leads
Distributor cap and rotor button
Air filter
Fuel filter

all fluids were dropped and changed 2 weeks ago when i bought the car so they will be changed at the 5000km mark.

So any advice on where and what to buy would be greatly appeciated.

Thanks, Mark.

Don't know whether you've seen the threads or not, but one problem is that the crank pulley bolt can come loose, causing the timing to go all funny which can make it sluggish. So I would check that as well.

cheers zukmeista,

Timing belt needs replacing anyway so will get to that when im on the job and give it a good service too.

No one service's their cars?..anyone..?

When doing the timing belt, don't try to save money with cheap seals, Suzuki genuine seals seem to be the best available.
