  • Help with the windscreen wiper lever

    Hello you together 🙂 I just ask… if I set my wiper lever to interval so once down then twitch briefly the wiper but it does not wipe, if I now easily press on the wiper and hold on then it wipes. So the duration operation on level 2 works perfectly. only annoyed always to touch the switch… now I was told that it is not easy to exchange the because of the airbag ^^ Can I exchange the or what can I do? k for your answers :-))

  • IGNIS X45 94 hp, is there anything else ?

    Hello Suzi Freaks, I ordered an Ignis X45 1.3 with 94 Ps. Now I would be interested if there is anything to do about performance. I thought about about 115 Ps. Chip, compartments, air filters, etc. Is there something offered on the market or is the Ignis rather thought of as a “renter car”. The tuning should not exceed the magic limit of approx. 2000 Euro. Because with a new price of 13 Tsd. Euro the relation is also to be considered. Thanks already for your Hil information and tips.

  • Tuning for a Jimny

    Hello together, I bought myself a Jimny about half a year ago. As far as I can remember, it is the 86 hp variant of the petrol engine. The other cars in the family are diesel and have around 160-200hp. That’s why I think the Jimny is a little undermotorized. I bought with the Jimny to be able to drive with it through the terrain. But I like the car so much that I now travel with it every day. But the big question is now: What can you do with it? the little bit more power? If I have seen it right, there is the option “Supercharger”. So you could double the power for a price of approx. 3-5,000 EUR. I find it a bit happy now. Then there is the option “Chiptuning”. Once as a classic tuning with fixed characteristic lines in the control unit. Cost approx. 500€ Then as a component between control unit and injection nozzles for 200€ Then any gas pedal tuning for 100€ And any OBD plug for 200€, the anblbl I should also change the engine characteristic or reprogram the control unit. kA, the company GAN offers something like this. Have you had experience? What really works?

  • SX4 Grinding noise when turning right

    Hi together, I’m new here! Like most of the new ones, I also have a little problem with my car. I drive a Suzuki SX4 stairway. For a week there’s always a noise at the right turn on the left tire that sounds like a road broom. Of course I was already in the workshop. The brakes have been completely renewed. Unfortunately, the scratching is still there. The statement of the Wekstatt master was: I don’t know what it is, but they can continue driving. Maybe I should go to the Dekra to check it out. Did anyone have this problem or does anyone know what it can be? Thanks already in advance

  • Suzuki Swift MZ/EZ 2005 1.3L Problems Alternator

    Hello to each other! My wife drives a Suzuki Swift, which is currently causing us to break our heads. He was several times with my screwdriver, which now doesn’t know any more. The following history: Ribbed belt torn, repaired. After that he remained lying down 2-3 times, just went out during the ride, that cleared itself for the time being through an empty battery. So into the workshop. Exchange of the alternator. Here he has also remained after a day, battery empty. After two days, I lay down. Now I put on my own hand, and measured a few things. Battery voltage without alternator: 12.45 volts Battery voltage without alternator: 12.3 volts Voltage on the alternator, without battery: 17.8 volts When I connect the alternator to the battery, it starts to chirp. Sounds like it’s running at full load. Power in idle mode without consumer: 1.5A current with switched on consumer: approx. 40A I took out different fuses with running engine, no change. Also on the control unit behind the center console I pulled the plugs, no change. Unfortunately I don’t know any more advice, and hope someone can help us.

  • Which antenna for DAB (+), O-antenna + DAB / splitter or disc antenna?

    Quickly described, I would like to install an antenna for DAB + reception in the Suzi or use the original antenna. 1. To the O-antenna, is the DAB + frequencies filtered in the antenna at all suitable or ground? 2. Should a disc antenna be required, how can I best remove the cables from / to the antenna? 3. Is it possible without destruction to remove the plastic covering of the right A-pillar? Because behind it I would like to hide the cables. The Dension DAB + U 7 MCF should be used with the switchbox for DAB / USB media. The and all 3 options, i.e. 2 different disc antennas, with antenna wire or a simple round can with the connection cable to the radio, or as an option an active splitter of the with a 12 V+ cable as well as connection cables for the vehicle antenna as well as the outputs for the DAB+ and FM/AM reception. A short test run with the “Dose” has already worked. However, the components I have not yet in the drive ug fixed, because I want to improve the reception. Therefore I have not attached a disc antenna yet. I am looking forward to your posts!

  • Floor mat mounting Vitara

    After 9 years of SX4 (MJ11, before the cross) I bought a new Vitara hybrid, it’s really great. Just what’s annoying: The driver foot mat, which was in the car, has holes for fixing the floor mats. Only in the car the nipples are missing for fixing for it. Can you retrofit the nipples somehow? Are there original parts? In the accessory trade I found no nipples for Suzuki. Which nipples of other manufacturers fit the holes of the Suzuki original foot mat? Many greetings and thanks Albelch

  • Some questions before buying a Vitaras

    Hello together I have been driving a Jeep Wrangler for 2 years now. Unfortunately I am not at all satisfied with this car because it spends more time in the workshop than on the road. Therefore I play with the idea to buy a Vitara. I am thinking of Bj between 96 and 99 with a maximum of 80,000 km. Is it possible to pull with this car 1.7 tons (boat with trailer) ? How high is the average km mileage (you get over 200,000 on it or is previously mostly lock s) What are the typical flaws ? Is the car more prone or robust ? Would be very grateful for a few infos Greetings Illja

  • Need a review for a Suzuki SJ Samurai

    Since I need a cheap car (purchase and maintenance) for forest trips, I noticed the samurai. I now have the possibility to purchase the following vehicle: Samurai EZ 92 kilometers 110tkm 69 hp fixed roof, no hard top, which would be very suitable for me because of leakage. New all-weather tires with M+S identification, TÜV & AU new, without defects, as specially welded and processed for the TÜV. Cost point 2,500,- then I was a bit shocked. Alternatively, there would be a Lada Niva, which is very difficult to find in our latitudes. Since mobile and autoscout have a lot of rustlings, it is rather difficult to determine whether the price is reasonable.
