Hi folks.

I'm after some advice on my V6 Vitara.

The 2L engine is starting to show all the H20A problems - rattly, starting to get leaky, etc. To top it off, there is now an exhaust leak somewhere on the extractors. What would the best bang for buck be?

- Fix everything (probably $3-4k or so?)
- Find a H25A engine and extractors and get that put in ($ ??)
- Part out/sell the Vitara and look for a newer GV?
- Other??

whats the rest of the car like?

my plan is option B, but a H27a, new timing kit, front & rear crank seals, rocker cover gaskets etc, use the h20 intake assembly & sensors ecu etc & reco the 2.0 injectors.

Thanks Atari.

It's in ok nick for a 17 year old Zook. I would like to keep it but this is the problem - cost of repair vs vehicle value

Putting a 2.7L in a Vitara could be interesting - can the existing transmission handle that? Licensing could be a challenge, since the engine is quite a bit bigger!
