I want to thank EVERYONE that has responded and helped. You all are GREAT.. I completed the waterpump, thermostat & serpentine belt replacement with no issues, and I finally have a toasty lower radiator hose and the car is no longer overheating. No need to pull the engine apart for head gasket (...

With the radiator still in the car, and the hoses removed from the engine and waterpump, I sprayed water into the radiator through where the cap is installed. Water came out of the lower hose very slowly. Slower than I had anticipated. I continued that for about 10 minutes or so.. Then I put the noz...

At this point, I have questions more than answers. What model yr? (poss block recall 2010) If you smell coolant reserve, does it smell like antifreeze or something bad? ( hydrocarbons ,unburned fuel).Was the reason for the first replacement of thermostat because of overheat ? Has vehicle ever lost ...

Thank you for your response and awesome insight. I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to help. Now I'm worried. The antifreeze was super clean when I drained it. No rust or scale or anything nasty. It was a clean blue. I can't understand why, but maybe maybe the radiator has an issue. I guess ...

Both thermostats are opening at about 185 or so on the kitchen stove with a thermometer. I replaced all the antifreeze and did the burp of the cooling system with the large funnel until al...

Thanks Woody. Do you know where the bolt is? I still have the thermostat housing on, but everything else is loose. I removed the bolt as seen in the picture, but I'm not aware of where the bolt that holds it in is located. I added photos of me trying to hold the camera below the waterpump. Also, FEA...

I I have a 2012 Kizashi and I have the waterpump completely ready to come out of the car, but the Heater Outlet pipe is still installed in the water pump. It is a little loose now, but how does it come out? Do i have to take off the back cover of the waterpump? The suzuki guide just says remove it, ...

A link would've been a bit more helpful. That reply wasn't much help. Thanks anyway

How did you remove the rear deck to get to the area for the subwoofer? Do you have any photos of step by step?
I have the S model, so I have to cut in the sub woofer, but I don't know how to remove the rear deck so I can cut the metal for the sub.
