Thought i wouldnt hit a wall so quickly but hey ho!

Can anyone help, my workshop has said the following:

Hi Fraser,

Little bit of confusion here with your Suzuki. Can you clarify something for me please from your V5 document? I have this listed as a JB43 chassis which is an M13A engine code, which means your jeep is a 1328cc. My VRM tells me your jeep is a 1298cc which would make it a JB33 chassis and a G13BB engine code!! Can you check and come back to me so I get the correct parts for you. Unfortunately I don't list a rear crankshaft oil seal either way so that would need to be sourced from a Main Dealer.

Another possibility is that your jeep is built on the newer chassis but Suzuki have put the older engine into it!! Oh joy, I love my job lol!!

Cheers

Can anyone shed light on how i check this?

Fraser

G13BB

If it doesn't look like that its the other one.

The M13A looks like this (and has a cam chain, not belt)

i see i have a confused V5 here!

this is what my info says:

According to my HPI report (no V5 yet) it says M13A-1019248 for the engine number and JSAFJB43V00105170 for the VIN but also says the engine is a 1298cc

and my supplier says:

Lol!! That confuses things even more then because i'm looking deeper into this and the M13A engine which should be only in the JB43 chassis has a timing chain and not a belt!! and the 1298cc should be the G13BB engine on a JB33 chassis and it has a timing belt!! Do you know for sure it has a timing belt and not a chain?

and the engine is here:

That all seems to match up

If you look at the picture of the G13BB engine there is a black plastic protective cover on the front of the engine as you look at it - this is the cambelt cover. Your engine doesn't have this 'cos it doesn't have a cambelt.

Happy days - you've saved yourself a few quid on a job that doesn't need doing :laugh:
