Searching the web I found that the 1.6 engine used in the 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara is an "1.6 L M16A I4 (petrol)." This seems to be a DOHC-16V. (Double overhead cam with 16 valves.) I also found on the web: "The M16A type engine uses a chain cam instead of a cam belt." This kind of surprised me as I thought it would be like a G16 engine with a timing belt. It being a timing chain is normally good news, but if it is like my J18 engine (also a DOHC-16V with a timing chain) the oil needs to be kept full and clean.

1995 vitara 1.5l. Is this chain or timing belt?
I do not think the Vitara came out with 1.5l motor, if you have the V6 motor it is a chain driven motor and they are known to be on the noisy side which according to Suzuki is normal until it gets very noisy!!!

Changing timing belt
My sincere apologies for the severly delayed response.
I am personally going back to answer your unanswered questions. I have only been on this site for the past 4-months as a free contributor.

I do not know if you still need this information, however I am answering it in case you still do.

Standard Answer for Timing Belts/Chains: 100,000 to 120,000 miles is when the Timing Belts/Chains start malfunctioning or failing. Some people want to go ahead and change them before malfunctions/failures happen. I just replaced mine on 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan which just turned 100K. Most Timing Belt/Chain failures will cause more costly engine damage when these fail, including a need to replace/rebuild an entire engine.

Again my apologies...
Let me know if this helped, or if you have additional information or questions. Feel Free to contact me at FixYa.com!
