Spanish 4u2 1.6 sport soft top

Post by npjrogers@btinternet.com » Wed Jul 11, 2012 12:29 pm

I have discovered that the correct parts for this model can be confusing to locate. In particular the correct battery box does not seem to exist on the suzuki parts system (or on the German pan european system) so i thought we should pool our knowledge on this particular model. I believe there were only a limited number sold in UK but we notice each other as we are often bright yellow... :smokin:
The battery box is special because the support bracket has to fit under the brake pipes and curve around the wheel arch top...

I am sure there are other anomolies that exist .. My dread is installing an important part that fits but is to the wrong spec and leads to a horror story... So far I have failed to find a drawing showing the square battery box with the 'cranked' bracket. As mine has totally rusted away a picture would be a great help..
My VIN is VSEETV01C01209908 and the engine is G16AS124940 colour Naples Yellow 1590cc 8v I think..

I would love to know which version of EMS is fitted and a photo or diag showing all the various electronic sensor connections to the engine.. As a newbie I just dont know where all the three letter acronym sensors are .. Let alone what the letters mean.. I have just migrated from a Citroen 2cv which didnt even have a distributor.. !! Just bought Peter Russek's book.. Great job by all involved.

Thats brilliant... Many thanks.. Where were you able to get the parts diags.. ?

Really appreciate the prompt response.. Mine is like the one on the left but squared off.. I will maybe have to make a separate bracket..
Thanks

May well work out easiest to make one if Suzuki can't find it on the system.

I only have one good circuit diagram for the vitara/sidekick , it's for the 1996 model and I have no idea if their all the same. I have it as a PDF file and again I have no idea where I downloaded it from (had it for ages). I cannot post it here so have uploaded it to my photo site http://www.offroadingpics.co.uk/odds.htm - please let me know when you have downloaded it as I shall then remove it.

Scott if you want a copy to use on the site feel free :thumbup:
(don't know if even the admin can post it :S )

I tried your VIN number with a online "VIN Decoder" and all it tells you is this.............

I think you need to put the number into a suzuki dealer system to get the full info.

Check engine light diagnostic socket is located behind right hand headlight.. It is the six pin socket which is covered with a black rubber cap. Found thanks to Rhinoman posting .. Go to rhinopower.org for full story
