Hi all,

I was on the way home from Sydney yesterday on the hwy and hit a rock bounced up by a car in front of me, now I have a 2" crack in my sump (the alloy sump above the metal one).

Would anyone know if it would be possible to weld this crack or should I just "try" and source another sump.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Jamie

For all the pain it's worth trying to weld probably easier to just source another one

Thanks for that,

I am sort of thinking the same way, I am hoping that a thought in the back of my mind that a SV625 will be the same fit as my SV620.

Might make the search a little easier .

Honest advice to all with the same Vit... fit the bloody front protection!!!

I knew about the weak alloy front diff but this little (HUGE ASS) dilemma has cough me by surprise



Cheers
Jamie

If you can't find one locally mate I've got one off my old H25A you can have for $50 plus postage. Hopefully you can get one locally though.

Thanks ninjamoses but i have just found out that the H20A and the H25A part alloy sumps are different, I was however lucky enough to find one in Sydney though.

Thanks again for your help.

Hi all,

Found out a bit of useful info regarding the alloy upper sumps if anyone with this model (2.0 V6) is interested?

I found out of Suzifour (shop/wreckers) from Sydney today that the early model grand vitara 2.5 (98 - 2001) alloy upper sumps fit the 95 - 98 2.0 vitara.

I am not a mechanic and this is info that I have only been told today, but with some further research and if it works could be useful to someone (maybe even me again one day).

Cheers
Jamie
