Suzuki Kizashi

The mid-size saloon, sold briefly and in small numbers, which is itself the practical fact about it — parts availability is the constraint rather than the diagnosis. Mechanically it is the most substantial car Suzuki has built recently: a 2.4 J24B with a CVT or a genuine six-speed manual, and an on-demand four-wheel-drive coupling. The CVT is the usual source of driveability complaints and its fluid specification is unusually particular.

    Short-lived and scarce, so parts rather than diagnosis is the constraint; the CVT and its particular fluid are the usual complaint.

Information, not instruction

CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.

Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:

  • The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
  • What you measured, not only what you replaced.
  • What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
