Timing belt
I would like to know the intervals for timing belt change both for mileage and age of vehicle. My 65 reg Vitara has the 1.6 petrol engine and is 5 years old in December of this year and has covered 16,500 miles.

Re: Timing belt
I could be wrong but I thought the 1.6 used a timing chain not a timing belt?

I am sure Karl will correct me if I am wrong but I think all the 1.6 vitara's use the M16A engine fitted in a variety of Suzuki's.Mine although not turbo charged rev's really well and sounds nice too!

Re: Timing belt
As Birch said the Petrol 1.6 is the M16A and chain drive
For future reference...
Petrol
1.0 Turbo K10C Chain Drive
1.4 Turbo K14C Chain Drive
1.6 M16A Chain Drive
Diesel
1.6 Turbo D16AA Belt Drive

Re: Timing belt
Hello Karl,
I am new to this forum and I wondered if I could please ask your advice about my 2016 suzuki vitara 1.6 automatic as i am a little confused about whether my car does indeed have a chain rather than a belt as I was reading my handbook last night and it states that the drive belt should be replaced after 75000 miles or 60 months yet it is mentioned on here that my M16A engine has a chain so is my hand book universal for all suzuki engines? I would be most grateful if you could put my mind at ease as my car will be 5 years old in August 2021 and I was shocked to read that the replacement costs could be over £1000. Thank you so much. Kind regards Paul

Hi Paul
Yes the handbook covers both Petrol and Diesel models hopefully this is a huge releif
The only Vitara engine to use a belt is the 1.6 Diesel, 1.6, 1.4 and 1.0 Petrol all use chains
Anyone that does need a cam belt replacement could try a Fiat or Vauxhall specialist as the DDIS engine is also used in these models

Re: Timing belt
Many thanks Karl for your very prompt reply, so I can ignore the handbook regarding the belt change recommendations so I am safe for a couple more years having a chain. You have just made my day. Thank you so much.

Re: Timing belt
Your manual could be referring to any auxiliary drive belts such as for the alternator etc
