Sounds like the dealer is just too lazy to bother ordering it. I experienced similar treatment when Toyota shut down Daihatsu locally and certain Toyota dealers were appointed as Daihatsu part outlets. Some of the appointed dealers claimed they couldn't get the parts and needed to be really pushed t...

The factory spec is 2.5 litres - which is 2.64 Quarts (so that accounts for a little bit of the extra fluid.)

Was the vehicle front end raised as well - so not perfectly level? That would also allow over filling.

Just came across this (regarding Grand Vitara's again) - it also mentions about cracks in the heads! http://www.performanceforums.com/forums/showthread.php?67300007-What-Suzuki-Australia-are-trying-to-hide Head http://performanceforums.com/forums/attachment.php?s=f4ae9a11d359ba853215cf49636ef2b7&...

It was my battery.. It was about to explode and leaking fluid!!@!@! I'd suggest taking the new battery out and carefully removing the plastic battery tray (all the acid should hopefully be contained in it). Make sure you neutralise all the acid with a mix of bicarb soda and hot water. Acid will be ...

Yes, that's it. Dead easy to access once the air filter box is removed.

Perhaps try running your coolant level more towards the minimum level in the reservoir (checked when the engine is stone cold.) I've got obvious signs of the coolant venting on my bottle (see the previous pics) but my engine has never gone above the normal temperature range. It suggests to me that t...
