How to find my engine year etc.

Post by Scouse Lee » Fri Oct 25, 2013 4:08 pm

Hi guys, I have an SJ413 with a Vitara 1.6 engine, I'm trying to find out what year the engine is so I can order parts in future but I'm having trouble, I've found the engine number, (although I may have a letter wrong, hard to tell), just phoned local Suzuki dealership and they didn't have a clue!!! any suggestions?
Cheers

What parts are you after?

I usually use Scotties old Vitara reg L970AKM as all the 8v vitara engines are the same.

Hopefully nothing yet Jordi, (still haven't sorted my starter motor out though so may possibly be looking for one soon), just wanted to know the year etc. for future reference.
