The 2012 Suzuki SX4 delivers all-wheel drive in a compact hatch, and provides plenty of space and features considering its ultra-low price tag. While there are plenty of updated options available in this...
If you're a construction worker, you don’t have to worry about hauling a whole lot of supplies and materials to the site – that’s the boss’s problem. As long as it’s big enough to hold your tools (and...
It would be recommended to replace the serpentine belts, water pump, and timing belt tensioner pulley with the timing belt. You might even consider replacing the valve cover gasket. If would like to have these repairs done, a certified technician...
Hi. I think the best thing to do with this situation is to replace the motor and get the proper radiator for the car. If the ECM has a fault or has gone bad completely the ECM will need to...
Hi there. The condenser is not likely to cause an overheating issue unless, the front side is plugged with debris, restricting airflow to the radiator. I have seen debris in between the condenser and radiator restrict airflow. With only 40,000...
Hello. Depending on how hard the starting was would help me to determine what is going on. If the engine just had a hard time cranking then it may be a problem with the battery or the starter. It may...
The manufacture should be able to tell you. To my knowledge the US Department of Transportation will have that information available to you. You should be able to access that information on their website dedicated to making the roads safer:...
Hi there: Today's fuel injected engines are incredibly complex. Due to this fact, there are several individual components and fuel related systems that must all work together in order to supply efficient power and fuel economy. It's possible that your...
Hi there. Are there any warning lights on? This would be a good starting point as the ECM will set codes to aid in the direction of diagnosis. Has a compression test been performed? A cylinder leakage test? What were...
Hello. In most cases the AC system should not affect the operation of the engine. If the issues only began after the AC was installed, it may be possible that the issue developed while the AC was being worked on....
Hi there - "boundary measured engine temperature," or the lowest temp reading a sensor can transmit, can be different based on each temperature sensor. The issue here is what is the true engine temperature? Is the thermostat getting the engine...
Both of these sensors have to do with sending air mass and pressure information to the engine computer. It is likely you have a vacuum leak or these sensors are starting to fail and are offering the engine computer false...
The computer in this car controls if the starter turns or not. You will need to have the computer scanned to see if the alarm is active. Have the batteries changed in the remote key FOB to see if this...
Hi there. The noise could be either the drive belt being loose or the pilot bearing to the transmission is seizing up. I recommend seeking out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you diagnose your squealing...
Brake fluid will contract when cold so you just want to be sure that the fluid level is not at the minimum level in the reservoir. The E-brake has a switch that could be sticking in the on position even...
Hello - your symptoms suggest a worn front wheel bearing. The "steering is a bit loose" symptom reinforces this diagnosis. If the noise ceases when turn left, it is likely the left wheel bearing. It would be the right wheel...
Charging system output should be verified against factory specifications as the alternator may be failing or have failed thus accounting for the battery light. It is also possible that the serpentine belt does not have adequate tension and thus is...
Duralast Battery Cable, part number 07765 or part number 07764 will work on your vehicle. If you are seeking the negative terminal cable assembly, that is readily available from Suzuki dealers and easily installed. The positive side of the circuit...
Hi there. This is one of those unfortunate issues where the solution to your problem is most likely going to be a visit to the dealership. Most repairs to safety system components like the seat belt should be completed by...
Both codes refer to the oxygen sensor that is to the rear of the catalytic converter. With regard to Code P0037, if the rear oxygen sensor is brand new, you should check the heater circuit ground (the oxygen sensor has...
The latch and/or locking mechanism (as opposed to just the cable) is probably stuck, binding, or mis-positioned. It is not difficult to fix - in the worst case scenario the latch can just be replaced - and so you can...
