Is it worth buying used Suzuki Grand Vitara. Choose used Suzuki Grand Vitara Other problems and malfunctions

Suzuki Grand Vitara second generation was presented in 2005. This compact crossover leader in popularity among universal and professional SUVs. In the 2nd half of 2008, Grand Vitara has undergone restyling, the changes touched the front bumper and wings, side mirrors and a radiator grille, two motors of 2.4 and 3.2 liters appeared in the engine line, and noise insulation was improved, and a multifunctional display appeared in the center dashboard.

Engines

For our market, Suzuki Grand Vitara second generation is offered with 2 engines with a working capacity of 2.0 liters (140 hp) and 2.4 liters (169 hp). The 3-door version is equipped with motors of 1.6 liters (106 hp) and 2.4 (169) hp Vitara with a 2.0 l engine received the greatest distribution, the motor 3.2 liters was not supplied to Russia.

Suzuki Motors Grand Vitara have a timing chain drive. He will have to forget about durability, the chain begins to sound already when running more than 80 - 120 thousand km due to stretching. Replacing the chain with "shoes" and the tensioner will cost 30 - 50 thousand rubles.

Motors 2.4 liters 2008 - 2010 fell under a response campaign due to problems with the tension roller of the drive belt of attachments of the attachments.

When running more than 100 thousand km, do not forget to replace the radiator cover, with time it can subdinct the reversal valve into the expansion tank, which will lead to an increase in pressure and rupture of the radiator (a crack appears). The catalytic neutralizer can already surrender when running more than 40 - 80 thousand km.

Transmission

In a pair with engines, a mechanical and automatic transmission is installed. Paradoxically, but "mechanics" is less reliable "automaton". When running more than 60 - 80 thousand km, some owners mark the worsening of the quality of the transfer of the 1st transmission. Basically, due to the approximation of the end of the clutch, the resource of which is about 100 - 120 thousand km. Replacement will require about 18 - 30 thousand. rubles with work. The automatic transmission of some serious problems, exciting the minds of the owners, Vitara does not present.

The front axle gearbox can "clothe" when running more than 70 - 90 thousand km, and some lucky ones, and before running 30 - 40 thousand km. This does not mean that it will have to be replaced, and the GUL can be attributed to the peculiarities of the transmission. In some cases, the gearbox shows after changing the oil. When running more than 120 - 150 thousand km can flow the head of the right semi-axis front gearbox operating in harsh conditions. The drowning dressing gland differences are most likely to be replaced by running more than 60 - 80 thousand km. Its replacement is better not to postpone, the decrease in the oil level will entail an increased wear of the aggregate.

Chassis

The suspension is not sufficiently durable. The first will most likely give up the bushings of the transverse stability stabilizer when running more than 40 - 60 thousand km, which also often creak in winter. After their replacement, light tapping on the irregularities of the road may not disappear, in which case there is a rubber-plastic spacers between the metal bracket and the sleeve.

The unsuccessful design of the front rack support leads to a contact with the body. It is enough to install a plastic spacer between the support and the body, and the knock will pass.

When running more than 50 - 80 thousand km, the front shock absorbers begin to leak, more often in frost. The front levers due to the rupture of salient blocks will have to be replaced with a run of more than 100 - 120 thousand km. New non-original levers will cost 4 - 6 thousand rubles, original - about 12 thousand rubles.

Suzuki Grand Vitara (2008.-N.)

The rear hub bearing begins to buzz when running more than 60 - 100 thousand km, the new hub costs about 5 - 9 thousand rubles.

The front brake pads go about 30 - 50 thousand km, rear 70s 90 thousand km. The front brake discs have to be changed every 60 - 80 thousand km.

Over time, often howls the pump GUR, amplifying the tonality in the frost. In most cases, the situation improves the replacement of the fluid.

Other problems and malfunctions

When parking in winter, be careful, the bumper can easily burst on the seam after coarse contact with the icing snowdrift.

Salon Suzuki Grand Vitara is quite creaking. Its sources - driver's seat, trunk shelf, plastic lining racks and front panel. If all this somehow can be corrected, then the rattling rear seats are not amenable to "treatment".

The "hanging" of the wiper brushes is caused by a small backlash of the handle of the inclusion of cleaners and burning contacts.

Conclusion

Such Suzuki Grand Vitara. In fact, its disadvantages - rapid wear of the chain drive of the timing, current ruddling glands and not too strong front suspension. And the rest is quite reliable and strong sacrifice.

In the secondary market, they are presented for the most part of the machine implemented in the Russian Federation, but they come across and "American", but their condition much more often It turns out much worse.

The car was supplied in two bodies - three- and five-door. All cars Could boast of assembly quality - cars from Japan have always been on this parameter in the first sequences. The only thing that is possible note - It's on the fifth door. It often happens that on cars with a huge mileage she saves under the severity of spars.

This trouble is easily eliminated by the method of adjusting the loops.
Rust on the car can report that the car visited an accident at the end which was Made by poor-quality repair, well, either the past owner is not very careful about its things.

electronics and electrical equipment of this car from Japan reliably, like all Japanese electronics and in most cases does not cause harder to own owner.
Engines by this model A steam was installed, the most not strong of them - the 1.6-liter gasoline is often seen in the secondary market. Eleaches in most cases with it are none, and with correct care, it helps reliably and continuously. The only thing you need to not forget is about the timely replacement of the engine in the engine, and wait for the engine warming before movement.

Precautions will solve the timing chain, which was installed on this engine, is much longer to serve.
The rest of the motors more wonderfulAnd besides that are not problematic. From time to time, small malfunctions are seen, but they appear not so quite often and not constant.

Purchase of cars in order for Suzuki Grand Vitara with gasoline engine It implies decent waste, because in addition, not the most wonderful 2,4-liter engine in winter will "eat" up to 20 liters of fuel in urban conditions. Turbodiesel was installed only by the number of 1.9 liters, but it was officially not supplied to Russia due to the poor quality of domestic fuel. We would not recommend such a car, because the breakdown of it because of the domestic fuel is very possible, and not every master will take it.
Two types of boxes were installed on the machines - five-speed mechanics and a four-stage automatic. Both boxes are quite reliable, but with mechanical more troubles and fails it is little more often. One of the circumstances of the clutch failure on Grand Vitara has riding to break and crawling out of difficult places without the use of reduced transmission.
If we compare with classmates, this jeep looks more without joke - blocking differential and reduced transmission make it acquiring more attractive for extreme travel lovers.

You can buy a used car and not check the suspension can only an inexperienced car enthusiast, despite the fact that with Grand Vitara is not such a huge necessity - it has a very reliable. Yes, the repair can cost decent money, but he justifies himself - the details go very long and do not disturb the owner often.
There is no brake pads, no special complaints, but the masters note the fact that the latter from time to time is prone to overheating.
In short, Grand Vitara is considered not only a car hardy in terms of passability, but also quite reliable in unpretentious in repair, despite the fact that it is quite expensive.

Weak vents of the ship Grand Vitara or what to pay attention to when buying?

Vitara has a list of trifles, followed by periodically. But in general - the car is quite reliable, adequate price in the secondary market, good permeability. As a result, we get a great figure "price - quality".

The blocking of the differential in Suzuki Grand Vitara allows the driver to feel confident on off-road. Approximately in one price category are both cars, although the off-road outlender potential is slightly lower. : Grand Vitara or Outlander? We will try to give an answer in today's review. The analysis will be built not standard. We will analyze the weak points of competing parties. Consider possible breakdowns and failures during the operation of crossovers.

Disadvantages of power aggregates

Test drive car Mitsubishi Outlander:

Grand Vitara has weak front suspension stabilizer bushings.

In the GRAND VITARA and Outlander duel relative to the quality and durability of the suspension, the an outlander mastered the advantage.

Let's sum up

Today we spent unusual. What is better: Outlander or Grand Vitara? Based on the specifics of today's review, the winner will be called the car whose knots and aggregates are readily and served longer than the opponent. Another estimation criterion will be an exemplary cost of replacement of parts that can potentially fail. So, the details in Outlander are more durable and the cost of their replacement will be significantly lower than at Suzuki Grand Vitara. Therefore, we give a victory in this fight "Stranger".

Hello everyone!

So I decided to feed the spontaneous. I admit honestly - I didn't even come to the car.

Now the cars have ceased to interest and everything is there).

Vitaru bought unexpectedly. 2 years owned SX -4 and sold, rolling 92 thousand. The machine was completely satisfied. Not satisfied only the permeability. I wanted the SX -4 all-wheel drive and rubber to orderly shore. Jeeping smile, of course). Miracles did not wait - it was necessary to pass on the countryside after the rain on the countryside and a black mill of 700 meters in a slide and all. On the last evening, before the order, they simply decided with his wife that finance, it seems, let's try to buy a car more interesting. Moreover, I was looking at her students being.

Vitara came 2 weeks later than the white salon), the manager somehow insecure this fact to us, and we decided - yes FIG with it - we will wash away if that))).

The first impressions - it is really more, harder and lazy of the passenger cars. Well, the entry of the side computer: the "reserve of 300 km" was happy at first. POWER RESERVE. Like a steamer). We do not swim - we go).

Vitara surprised me. I had a Paddero Mini right-handed. Lasil, by the way, is better. Fun in the other - Vitara - a universal car. It is universal - with a capital letter. Not such a megachnological and megauniversity, like many others, who has service through 3 streets. With a bunch of buttons, heated and other garbage. Just comfortable he and Living. And simple. Without turbines and vials.

My wife and I fell in love with fishing, shaking for mushrooms and travels in our Rasha.

Somehow stimulates Vitara to move to a picnic to the nearest forest.

I think many caught themselves to think: "I will not sell this car." So you think when the car like it. The first car that caused such thoughts was Vitara.

If anyone needs TTH - look for them on YandexAvto or an alarmork. And I try to write a feeling from owning a car.

Pros Vitara:

You can crap on any road your 120. The first smile is why 120? Because it is not recommended to accelerate the decompositions of the disperse). On overtaking, it happens and faster, but I try to adhere to this rule. But the relief is expensive - really do not care. Savings energy intensity suspension and 70 profile at 16 radius and 225 width. There are no hernia for the year and the discs did not rule, the shock absorbers are whole.

Eats 92 and 95 AI. Refuel at the checked gas stations 95m, as the hatch is written, if possible

Very good characteristics for passability. Much worse than professionally trained off-road and even ... stock 34 doors. This is not a banter, just the passability of Vitara is an interesting thing. It ends suddenly. Without hints. I was driving and, suddenly, got up. Until a certain moment, all crossovers are robing, it's nicely, but the feelings of confidence do not allow it to slip away into any wet suture from Uzika and there to rebuild until the morning. Rollages on Yutube- successful selection of moments when Vitara did not leave. Well, do not be offended by fans)

A good trunk for the transport of overall objects, only the size of the subject should not exceed 1 * 1 * 1 m - so the seats are unfolded. With long oversized - the problem is the second-row seats are laid out, separating the Vitar in half. Accordingly, the roll of the chain mesh, 1.5 meters long closes.

He experienced heavy repair - drove mixes in bags, tiles, barite plaster. 350-400 kg easily for 100 km. I think it is a very confident plus in the ranking. Furniture, all in boxes from Ikea, too, well and density traveled. Naturally, the car did not poured on the pits and drove calmly. But I drove without problems and further services.

Now in the family 2 cars: the Solaris of his wife (I will write separately about it, because I surprised) and my Vitara. So it is planned in the winter a trip to Karelia. What a car will go, I think it is not necessary to explain. It is her element to be, so we will give her a chance and write an overview later (if someone is interested)

Dynamics on the highway - 2 liters of 140 horses, mechanics - like ordinary car. . Who are the numbers of interest: 5 Transfer 100 km / hour-3000 revolutions. In the city with traffic lights, very tight and slow. Well, not her loads)

About minuses.

They are a bit, but will have to be celebrated.

Petrol. Everything comes to comparison, especially when we look at the price of $ recently.

We are waiting for the corresponding prices for 95, as was the last 2 years. Vitara eats gasoline with a good appetite. You do not notice that while she is alone in the family. When Solaris appeared, unexpectedly more often began to ride on it. And it's not just the cost, although the difference of interest is 50 minimum.

The difference is simply in sensations from driving. Solaris light. It is a car. This box, which turns on on any gear and at any speed. Vitara box, like any suzuki-tight and vague. But reliable.

If you can - take a Solaris for the city. On the highway - only Vitara.

What minuses I have Vitara I see. Benza - the first, but not the main one. Perhaps strongly significant for many users. The second one does not correspond to conversations about megacity. I would even say that it can climb it much better, but there are three big constructive flaws:

Little clearance. Incomplete 200 mm with protection is very little

Front bumper with protection - plastic curtain, which sews radiator - Well, you can not do 4 VD! Any bump on a cafe in resonance - and we have a broken radiator and we do not go further. FINISH. 2 times clinging the bumps - it's just lucky. And more slowly passes the plots can not be - sit down.

Silmic rear gearbox with shurts is generally no comment. For some reason, no one pays attention to this, but I caught 2 times in a rut of the bore with this gearbox. When a stone is coming - Vitara will go home on the tow truck.

And anyway, I love her. Onamen can in stock. There are not enough stars from the sky, but also for the services does not drive all the time. Feed out later. Now 63,000 km run. The car is removed from the warranty, there are no problems, serviced after 10,000 km. by manual.

Very happy if information was useful to someone. Good luck on the roads!
