Question hi David,
I have a Suzuki XL-7(2002), since two month ago when I starting my car, I hear some noise from engine. The noise keep 20-30 seconds(like da da....) then back to normal. Is it a big problem?
By the way, can you talk me how to take care the air condition system in the winter time?
thanks,
Tony
Answer You'll have to take it to a technician to have the noise evaluated. It's too hard to diagnose via keyboard and crt without the use of the unique and descriptive language used by a trained and experienced technician.
The a/c should be operated for about 15 minutes once a month.
