Hi Guys, Wondering if you could help me with this one. It's a hot one in Perth today and I have been driving around for an hour in the Jimny with the air-con on. Feeling hungry I went to Red Rooster for a feed. Waiting in line with the air-con still on it started to make a knock knock sound and the idle speed dropped to around 600rpm. It immediately rectified itself when I switched the air-con off. Also when I drove off and turned it back on it was really gutless and kept making the noise. Any ideas on what it could be? Thanks. |

Yeah factory. It is booked in at Suzuki tomorrow, but if it was something simple I thought perhaps I could fix it. I just know they are going to fight over warranty if something is wrong...they always do. OH you have aftermarket suspension - that must be the problem for everything in the car!! |

It seems to drive perfectly fine without the air con and perhaps the heat is not helping. |

just check that all the bolts around the aircon are done up tight too =) never know, might have slipped through during repairs. |

Yeah it might have something to do with that. Suzuki are going to take a look at it tomorrow. I had the car on for a couple of mins just then and it didn't do it so it might be an overheating issue somewhere??? |

hopefully its a simple fix and running ok before the big trip down south =) otherwise you'll be getting more of a sierra experience down there (natural airconditioning). |

BLOODY HELL! The dealership can't replicate the issue so there is nothing that can be done about it! |

They had it from 7:30-3:00. Frustrating thing is that I can't replicate it now either. I hate not knowing coz something going wrong in the sticks really sucks willy. Might have it on for the long drove south tomorrow might and see what happens. |

Did you have this problem again or is all good? I had a very rattly sounding idle which turned out to be worn belts. New belts, all good. |
