Lower Filler pipe and Curious Blower Issue
Posted: Fri Feb 19, 2021 5:16 pm
Hi,
I wondered if anybody else has had issues with the rubber lower filler pipe on the 2006 Grand Vitara. I can only put 15ltres into the tank or she starts dropping diesel, I work at a college and because I thought it may be a crack in the tank I got the motor vehicles workshop to put it up on their ramp. The tank outside was dry but there was evidence that the pipe was leaking. I couldn't source the pipe at the local car parts place but they suggested some self sealing tape would work. I was a little uncomfortable with this. Would it work? I emailed Suzuki but they have never gotten back to me.
As an aside we notice that when the outside temperature is -3 or below the internal heater blower stops working, at first I thought it had packed up completely but once the temperature rose it came back with a vengeance. Its a bit of a problem when you start to fog up
