Vitara Breathers

[fixkick]

Thank you for your reply.
I incidentally came across the breathers issue - and I noticed that I have under the hood 3 vent hoses - 2 of them are without any breather caps and one (seems its the gear vent hose) had a plastic breather cap that melted into the hose (see picture)...
there are no engine breathers, only the 2 PCV hose. (called close system) the air filter is a breathe breaths fresh air.
the rest are all vacuum lines.
that melted part (looks like fire damage) is a clip that used to click to vacuum lines in tandem.


So I thought it will be good idea to change the oils inside the gear, transfer and the diffs.
.. And on the way I will replace the breather cables because as it seems there is a good chance that they are pretty dirty inside... ( the vacuum lines old love to crack so we replace them all)



Till I will get a normal breather valves (cups) I will put fuel filters on a new breather hoses to protect them from dirt , the transmission vents caps up high, most of these cars lost them long long ago, ive only seen one still present on one sidekick' sure filters will work.


Can you please recommend me a FSM for my Vitara - so I can see the oils that I need to use and their quantity?'
the vitara books are here.

click vitara (all)


the vacuum routing's vary by market.




I saw about 6 manuals - and non of them telling about which oil that I need to use and how much oil I need for 1997 Vitara ... - the only thing that I found us that I will need a GL5 oil for transfer and diffs + A/T oil (Dextron III) for the gear box...

what engine do yo have, G16 sure. but there are many types used.
id need a photo of it.
what parts are missing.
is car with EGR electric or vacuum or missing

is IAC with 2 wires, or with more (motor drive)
