Re: Whinning Noise - CVT?

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...

There's no question about that. Needs to be brought to a swift halt.

I doubt it could be disconnected without throwing error codes.

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...

Re: engine vibration

Another reason why a tech and his 'computer' wouldn't find squat being wrong. A TC is a purely mechanical device. Besides, if there weren't sensors or the programming (firmware) in place, one wouldn't expect the all knowing computer to tell you anything. Gone are the days of old school mechanics ab...

Re: Fuel economy and iAWD - let the fun begin!

That's exactly why I don't have it. Not going to carry around all that weight, drag, and moving parts which require maintenance so that they'll be there on the twice a year when they might come in handy. FWD and all weather tires are light years better than anything we had back in the 60's, yet some...
