You may have seen that I just joined the forum, and im in need of a little help.
I got this vitara from a friend after the engine blew. A new one was sourced but never fitted, and I have taken on the task. now I have found that the FQ engine in this model (1.9 DDIS) is used in many different makes and models, and I suspect this is the route of my problems.
So the engine fits on the gearbox, but fowls the front diff / drive systems with the sump, so I gathered that the sump was wrong, and I needed one for this application.
So off I went online and sourced what I hope / thought is the right one. Now from what I have seen, the sump is correct as there is a separate pickup area for the oil pump, but this sump is far too shallow, and hits the current oil pickup on the engine.
so my issue now.
- new sump too shallow
- There is an oil pickup in the new sump, but there is also and oil pickup on the engine block - I dont see how they are compatible
- There looks to be a hole and pipe for the oil dip stick on the new sump & one on the engine.
Im starting to think I have the wrong engine !!!
Can anyone advise.
So... Engine sitting on diff ...
