Re: CVT First service in 100kms (62k miles)

The CVT is designed to deliver good fuel economy when driven the exact way that the government fuel economy test is driven. Sounds as if you've found that sweet spot driving 3000-3500 rpm. IN EVERY other way, a CVT is a disaster. They rob performance, mileage, and reliability. The entire first half...

Re: Cheap fix 09 belt tensioner

I finally changed my belt tensioner and first want to thank Old Tech for the invaluable advice he shared about the process. I'm glad that I read it and got the Harbor Freight offset wrenches before starting the repair. They proved to be the perfect tool for accessing the upper bolt of the tensioner ...

Re: 2013 Suzuki Kizashi Sport SLS AWD

The world right now needs more people like Old Tech. Knowledgable, reliable, honest, communicative and willing to help. It's nice to read story like this. We are extremely lucky that despite owning such a rare car that has largely fallen away to oblivion, we have an expert professional mechanic her...

Re: What Did You Do With Your Kizashi Today?

The best access to the bulbs is by removing the front bumper and removing the headlights themselves so you can adequately reach the back of the headlights for bulb access. It's a pain for what should be a simple task. This is why it's a good idea to get LED or HID bulbs because they last a lot longe...

Re: Anybody in the MN or WI area??

Nice. Is yours manual ? I love this bright interior. Basically looks the same like this one on the video. What amazes me is that I did know that automatic transmission can be only FWD. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The Kizashi was offered in FWD and AWD with the CVT (Automatic). The Kizashi wa...
