Re: My first Suzuki

Ona total repainting of the car , I would suggest a cheaper route that would look good. Paint the center section of the roof with Rustoleum gloss back with a foam roller . It will look amazing for probably $12. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240205/086682ca0cd8bfd75b69640b1415817f.jpg https://up...

Re: Kizashi Wont Start Please Hellp!!!

Hey Suman, I dont have enough info on your issue to give you any kind of a diagnoses. I have had a strange vibration from a transmission but it was with certain speeds and loads. maybe a video and trouble code scan of all systems.

Re: Over heating

What I mean by a sharp smell is if you take the green cap off and take a whiff and it smells like something other than coolant than you have a problem. Sometimes its so strong it stings your nose. I am suspecting you have a problem at the head to block surfaces and that the test results on the coola...

Re: Over heating

Do you have heat in cabin at all? Is there a sharp smell at coolant reservoir? With engine cold and rad cap in place, how long after running does top hose take to firm up?

Re: Help CVT is making sounds

I don’t think you’ve hurt anything and have caught it fast enough. Long term this would have destroyed the transmission. I think you’ve caught it soon enough. It is a good plan on changing out the fluids multiple times to get it cleaned out. The noise will return to normal as this fluid gets changed...

Re: Help CVT is making sounds

Re: Help CVT is making sounds

This problem is a new one for me on a Kizashi that is . I’ve seen it many times on a Toyota though. On your Kizashi for the time being you could bypass the radiator just run it off of the cooler and you would probably be fine as long as it’s not terribly hot where you’re at. I’m interested to know i...

Re: Engine and Transmission Assembly Removal for Head Gasket Replacement

Is it possible ? yes . I dont suggest it .You can drop cradle, steering rack. engine ,and trans in one shot out the bottom. I saw one attempt through the top where someone had cut the battery support and welded it back together.

If it is as simple a a brake dragging you could take the car for 3 mile drive and then touching the rim and comparing left to right
