Is M13a engine uses timing belt? thanks - Cars & Trucks

the belt should have been changed at 100.000 kms
At this point I would be looking at faulty injectors as a reason for the rough and less power
I would say that changing the belt now along with idler pulleys , hydraulic adjuster and cam and crank seals will save you big time as you are way overdue if it hasn't been done before

The Suzuki Motor Corporation makes all the M series engines for the Suzuki range.

In a Suzuki of that age (assuming you have the OHC engine), the most likely culprit is a broken timing belt.

we (USA forum) do not have Jimny cars. here.
so what engine, we can never guess your engine
we can look under your hood, so...
you need 2 things
staged torques
and order.
per wiki there are these engines used on GEN3

658 cc K6A I3 (JB23)
1,298 cc G13BB I4 (JB33)
1,328 cc M13A I4 (JB43)
1,461 cc K9K TD I4 (JB53)

we have not a clue.

google your engine real name with head torque and win.

where?
are you working FSM free. no shop manual? you will fail, i promise.
why not read that manual. and see all steps and when you get lost
tell us at what step you are stuck at.
alldata.com, did you read the book there, on timing belt, Engine chapter..

which engine?

1.3 L M13A I4 (petrol)
1.5 L M15A I4 (petrol)
1.3 L I4 (diesel)

there are 3, which one?

Diesel or GASoline, they offered 2 engines 1.3L
google answers that.
one way to find this (besides a goggle search (worked for me 100x)
besides a real FSM or alldata.com look in 1min. flat. is.....
is to learn which of the 56 Suz engines you have.
the WIKI says, its a M13A
armed with that key fact, you can find out anything on that engine.
one way is to read the GATES belt page, see if they sell a belt.
looks like chain

post a question , you state only nouns.
all engines (gas) have 2 timings
1: spark
2: cam.
what is your question.?
my guess is you are not in uSA? state location.
used on swifts or jimny.
year?

chain marks. spark marks or crank pulley marks.
4th google hit. huge 1.3 PDF, id bet its there...

m13 is not easy find, information.... but google will find it if you just use it. I promise.
Alldata.com dont cover it.

Chain drive. Unless the engine's been apart, why would the cam/valve timing change?
Valve clearances are another matter, and unless you want to remove the camshafts, get a mechanic who has the proper Suzuki tool to do them for you. You can measure the clearances, but the shims are between the cam lobe and the valve bucket, and the special tool holds the bucket down whilst changing to a thicker or thinner shim.

most new car use 5w30 or 10w 30
