Re: OIL ON DRIVE

If you have an AWD model, I would have someone check the transfer case and rear differential fluid levels. Those hold less than a quart of gear oil each, so a very small leak (such as you appear to have) can become problematic before you realize something is wrong

Re: Heated Power Seat Installation

I have a smaller white seat connector/harness that doesn't fit. I have seats ready to put in, but the connection doesn't work so what can I do? :cry: My experience comes only from the Kizashi as sold here in the US. I can't speak to what differences exist in the Kizashi sold in other markets. While...

Re: AC FLASHING AUTO

I don't have any particular experience here, just access to the diagnostic info.

Re: AC FLASHING AUTO

I changed both the panel and the module. The climate control part and the bcm behind inside the dash. I don’t think the scanner was communicating with the hvac system. Could you recommend a scanner that would work? I believe there is some magic button pushing you can do on the climate panel to get ...

Re: Suzuki Kizashi Drive Cycle

I've not seen a specific drive cycle listed for the Kizashi, but it you have an OBDII scan tool it will probably be able to tell what monitors have been completed, which have not, and if the vehicle is ready for an emissions check

Re: Fluid Change - Transmission Trouble

Hey buddy, are you able to resolve the issue? I am also conisdering a transmission oil change soon. Currently at 245k km (bought at 198k km). Any suggestions? My suggestion would be to just start by doing a drain and fill and leave the pan and pan filter/pickup alone. That will take about 3.8L of C...
