Just what I needed – going to do this in the spring once the weather gets a little more comfortable. My wife's Suzuki is overdue for this and sounds just likes yours did. Thanks for putting this up here!
I am an retired automotive machinist, and honestly want to compliment you on an excellent well presented video. Mention the finer details, but hell you get the job done. I used a deep 14mm wrench which worked perfect. All and all job took me about an hour, including pressure cleaning before replacing new parts. I hate dirting my hands. Actually very easy job.
Excellent Video! Thank You!
Just wait till you do the water pump… It's like a 10 hour job… Im watching this so I can get the belt back on…. I love this car but working on it is very challenging and my fat hands looks like they were weed wacked.
Excellent work. My sx4 has clocked 156K KMS and the squeaking sound has increased so planning to get v belt replaced this weekend. Does timing gets affected by v belt and pulley replacement as infomed by my mechanic? Thanks
I can't believe I found you, GREAT, GREAT video. Never would have thought of checking the idler pulley. Your teaching demeanor gives me confidence. I really like the car, but people run away from you when you need work, so I will do it myself. Thanks so much, you deserve nothing but good luck for giving your time in a positive manner. God Bless you.
awesome video brother!!
I would like to first thank you for all of your SX4 videos. You have no idea how many times you have saved me. Just changed my alternator which was a pain because I had to remove the power steering pump.
Now I can't get the p/s pump back in because the pulley is in the way to install the mounting bolts. Figured the only solution would be to remove the pulley. Bought a Pulley removal tool but none of the pullers fit the pulley shaft.
Sorry for the long comment but please if you have the time anything helps!!! Thanks!
Have you added a larger crank pulley on this APP, or know where one would Be ?
Wow what a great video.
This is a wonderful tutorial video. My only question is, overall, how long did it take?
Please check out my SX4 Noise video if you have a few minutes. I'd really appreciate any comments with suggestions/ advice
was that remote start something you installed or was it factory?
2002 suzuki aerio replaced just the idler pulley, old one seized and broke my new serpentine belt. Put a new idler pulley new belt and now it wants come off water pump pulley!! Could I have over torqued the nut causing the misalignment? Nothing else was touched.
I have my car jacked up right now and I can't get the tensioner out. 3 hours spent trying to get tensioner out. Don't attempt this unless you're willing to break off your white clip 🙁 Will spend the rest of the night trying to wiggle it out. Fun Saturday night.
I have a 2009 Suzuki SX4 manual. I just bought the same parts (continentals) and I'll give it a try. Are you on your original water pump? Do you wait for it to fail or replace it before it fails?
