Suzuki APV [Merged Threads]

[junjie]

May kakaibang tunog sa steering ko ngayon.

Every turn ng steering parang may sprocket noise sa bandang kanan. Di ko ma-pinpoint kasi nasa ilalim eh.

Ano kaya yun mga sir?

hi! m sorry to be on this reply. i simply need help with my suzuki apv automatic which made very loud cranky noises from the transmission. i sense it from there as the apv drastically lost significant drive power on uphills or inclines.
i do hope this forum promises aid as i have read from previous threads. can anyone please provide good leads to much needed parts and/or suppliers (new, as well as surplus) on transmission, build-up kits, and service? anywhere around east quezon city or marikina would be most appropriate. casa service and parts are very discouraging and undesirable, as most other bloggers have experienced. i hope this latter aspect of suzuki after-service aspect reaches suzuki top honchos who hopefully can do something friendlier to its patrons.

awaiting help ...

frustrating na.

Hey Guys,

Finally finished changing valve seals, piston rings and necessary gaskets. When we first started it, there was white smoke. I wasnt worried because it seem normal for a newly overhauled car to do that at the start.

We made it idle for 2 hours, no hitches. after a while it began giving white smoke again. mechanic got worried, but after driving it for about a kilometer, the smoke went away and did not notice it the whole time i was driving around.

I thought of letting it idle for a few minutes while parked, then after around 20 minutes in idle, white smoke nanaman.

drove it again and the smoke went away.

any idea why its doing that? I thought when the smoke goes away yun na yun.

APVBoy,

If its consistent, find a reputable auto shop and get a second opinion. Tell him what was done in your ride.

Thanks Straker.

Right now there's smoke when its started in the morning, then goes away after it warms up a bit. Driven 220km so far. If after 500km change oil there's still smoke, then pa check ko ulit. might just need to complete the break in cycle for the piston rings to seat.

Hindi na JYG1995.

So far pakonti na ng pakonti ang usok. sa cold start nalang. still under observation.....

thanks!

Silipin mo nalang sir, baka may loose parts in contact with steering link lang, or may prob steering rack, or strut bearing busted na. Many possibilities sir kelangan lang silipin to check.

Sa ngayon sir nawala naman yung tunog, siguro nung napadaan lang kami sa baha nung nakaraang linggo.

Hello!

ganda na ng takbo ulit! smoke only during cold start.

Problema lang ngayon is runs 5-6km/liter. di kaya kailangan linisin ang O2 sensor or any other parts?

[12vdc]

Normal yung white smoke sa coldstart, condensation sa tailpipe.. Busted O2s usually may CEL pero pa scan mo na rin, dami cause ang poor FC like baka hindi pa fully seated/honed ang piston and valves..
