#1286 of 1350 Re: XL-7 4x4 problems at cold temps [cotecsi] by somdav Feb 08, 2006 (3:38 pm)
Replying to: cotecsi (Jan 12, 2006 9:00 pm) I have a 2004 XL-7. Like you my 4x4 will not disengage unless I reverse the vehicle or make a sharp right or left hand turn after disengaging the 4x4. I'm being told it has something to do with the turning radius of the car and tyres as they are worn down. My dealership and Suzuki are still looking into it. I have not noticed any correlation to cold temperatures. Did you resolve your problem?

I have a 2004 XL-7, just wondering if any of you guys noticed much difference with the K&N Air Filter? with power and fuel? Also do you know of any other mods i can do to gain more power?

Replying to: cotecsi (Jan 12, 2006 9:00 pm) I had the same problem last night. It was about 20deg F outside. I had parked my 2005 XL-7 with the 4WD engaged. After pulling off my driveway, the 4WD would not disengage until I stopped and backed up a few feet. I then tried the 4WD a few times after the truck had been run a few miles, and the 4WD engaged/disengaged normally. I'm going call my dealer today.

Replying to: anakha (Feb 08, 2006 4:44 pm) I put a K&N air filter several months ago. Certainly the perfomance has improved in terms of acceleration and runs very smoothly. I have a 2001 automatic but the fuel consumption has decreased from 22 mpg to about 18 mpg.   I am not sure whether this is the winter gasoline and general cold weather. I used to reckon on 300 miles per tank and now seems about 275. However the car is mainly driven by my son to school which is 11 - 12 miles in stop go.

Replying to: offham (Feb 26, 2006 2:43 pm) but the fuel consumption has decreased from 22 mpg to about 18 mpg.   Your mileage will improve just as soon as you finish testing for "performance!"   Seriously, it may well be winter gas and cold weather based on when you put the filter in.   tidester, host Replies to this message: offham (Mar 05, 2006 11:13 am)

Replying to: tidester (Feb 26, 2006 4:19 pm) Dear Host   You may well be right. The other variant in this is the amount of gas put in the tank at fill up. In NJ it is not self service - attendant by law ! I have found that when the pump cuts off, some pump jockeys cut it there and then others do a "top off". This can make a difference to the calculation as I always reset the trip odometer to zero.   Rgds
#1294 of 1350 Changing oil on rear differential by offham Mar 05, 2006 (11:17 am)
I would like to change the oil on the rear differential, but cannot find a socket drive in any of the parts shop. Most of them have hex attachments, but Suzuki is a square.   Does anyone have a idea where I can get a wrench or socket drive attachment that fits snuggly so there is not any play?   Thanks Replies to this message: yurozuki (Mar 20, 2006 7:06 pm)
