A Fairly common crossover "Suzuki Vitara" and "Grand Vitara" began to be produced since the end of 1996. For picking machines were used in various four - and six-cylinder engines. The most common was the two-liter engine Ј20А.
Petrol four-cylinder Ј20А applied on the different versions of "Suzuki Vitara", made in the time periods:
The Engine is arranged vertically in a number of cylinders with a displacement of 1,995 liters. Depending on the type of firmware of the electronic control unit the engine has an output of 128 to 146 forces. Inherent in the design of the development potential of the engine J20A allowed him to stay in the trade for almost 20 years.
Main body parts-the head and the cylinder block – made of aluminum alloy. In the valve drive of the first generation of engines have hydraulic compensators clearances, which greatly simplified maintenance. On later engines, since around 2003, in the valve drive stand shims. For timing apply the two chains. Each of them has its own tensioner and your idler oscillations. On the front of the engine J20A "Grand Vitara" placed V-ribbed belt to drive various auxiliary units.

There were several versions of the engine Ј20А with different characteristics:
Machine "Vitara" was equipped with a variety of engines with a displacement of 1.6 to 3.2 litres. But the most popular was the J20A motor that provided the best ratio between the dynamics and fuel consumption. In General, the power unit has proved itself as a very reliable and unpretentious host. A big plus of the engine is the ability to use gasoline A92.
The Online engine J20A largely depends on the attitude of the owner to the car and regular maintenance using quality materials. There are cases where cars with this engine were more than 270 thousand km without repair. Separate instances of cars with engine J20A, in the opinion of the owners, drove all the way to 400 thousand.
Almost all bugs in the engine can be read on the instrument cluster. For this, the driver must perform a self-test procedure by closing the two terminals on the diagnostic connector. Received error codes must be decoded at the tables.
Care of the engine of Suzuki Grand Vitara is to conduct regular maintenance including replacement of oil, filters and plugs. The factory recommends replacing the engine oil J20A 15 thousand. But taking into account the operating conditions of cars in Russia the frequency of oil change is recommended to reduce to 10 thousand km.
According to the instructions for the motor you need to apply oil to the Suzuki brand Motor Oil with parameters 0W-20. Alternatively, many owners use synthetic oils that conform to the standard 5W-30. Oil tank capacity is 4.5 liters, but when replacing the old oil out, not completely, so the crankcase is filled with a 4.2-4.3 liters.
One of the important aspects of engine maintenance is to replace the chains drive the camshafts. According to the regulations of this procedure should be carried out through 200 thousand km to Neglect the replacement should not be, because there are cases of unexpected continuity. The engine had no symptoms that warn the owner about critical details.
The Main problem of the engine are the timing chain. The first problem with increased noise of the drive starting with 140-150 thousand. Usually the reason lies in the hydraulic tensioning device for chains. A number of owners just change the tensioner, leaving the old chain. But this solution, although allows you to save money, can result in costly repairs of engine J20A. The old chain may have signs of stretching and a new tensioner will not be able fully to compensate it. In this case, the chain slips on the gear teeth or shaft just breaks that shifts the timing. The result will be a collision of pistons with valves, which will lead to a non-working condition of the engine. The repair of such damages will cover the cost of the circuits. So many services are recommended when replacing the tensioner just to replace the chain.
Another problem J20A engine may be burning oil, especially when dynamic style of movement. Many owners are faced with increased oil consumption in the initial period of running the engine. But then the flow came back to normal. In the process of operation it is necessary to remember about such a "sore spot" of the motor and monitor the level. Ignoring this point can lead to the engine running modethe lack of lubrication. In that case, you need to repair engine J20A with at least replacing the crankshaft bearings. For replacement liners, there are two repair sizes. In the worst cases, damage will get the shaft and piston group and gas distribution mechanism.
The number of owners experiencing the problem associated with sudden loss of engine power. Thus begins the vibration and the motor stalls. In some cases after 15-20 minutes it starts, runs a while and stops. In the exhaust gases present in the smoke and fumes of unburned gasoline. The reason for this behavior becomes faulty crankshaft position sensor.
It is Worth noting another fault, encountered already several owners of a 2-liter "VITAR". Over time there is a drawdown of the shaft pumps coolant inside the shell. At some point the blades of the impeller begin to touch the body. The motor when working is making some unexpected noises. If not time to replace the pump, it is the abrasion of the blades and reducing the flow rate of the coolant. Because of this is overheating of thermally loaded block and head, which leads to galling and engine damage.
One of the most difficult procedures for J20A engine repair would be to replace the chains. The replacement will need materials:
The Gear of the drive circuits usually replacement is not required.
