Re: Whinning Noise - CVT?

It sounded like it came from the from under the engine, driver's side. Which is where the transmission is, the opposite end from the belt. Belt drive noise would be constant whenever the engine was running and vary along with RPM, it's not going to show up only under deceleration, that makes no sen...

Re: TSB SI-0007 WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECS

What is the normal wear model here? Is it the rear tires wearing on the inside edge? Here's my situation. Bought the car used, rear tires show wear on the inside edge. If it's the rear that usually does this, then the sensible thing is to rotate them. But, what if the front wore them and they were r...

Re: Whinning Noise - CVT?

Good that you've found a dealership that you trust, that's a rare thing. That explanation doesn't seem plausible from a mechanical standpoint. I'm a mechanic and it sounds like bullcrap.

I doubt it too. That's just the story they told you to make you go away.

Re: Installing Double Din, Brake Bypass Switch & Bluetooth M

He probably (at least I hope so as I want this badly) is talking about a button to fool the car into thinking the e-brake is on when it's not. The point being to defeat those moronic Daytime Running Lamps. Another brilliant idea Suzuki picked up from GM and their band of brain dead engineers (lawyer...

Re: Share your Kizashi issues and repairs

That's usually just rubber bumpers under the hood which need to be adjusted out a little.

Re: 2010 Kizashi Check Engine Light - P0443

The most important word in there is "circuit". That tells me that it's very likely a wiring problem. Every connector in line needs to be unplugged and plugged back up, and you need to check the sensor ground. One of those two wires almost certainly goes to ground, Suzuki's are famous for g...

Re: Foam Filling

It's all pointless really, unless you have tons of other suspension upgrades and drive the car on the limits of traction, which no one does on public roads, you will NOT notice a slightly stiffer sway bar and chassis. Stiffer chassis no, unless the car has a weakness most people are not going to no...
