Thanks @iRage I tried to find AW1 specifications on internet to find a substitute but I couldn't find a reliable source. Also A*W said they do not import AW1 and use a substitute Suzuki (rebranded) oil. But I'm not very convince on their answer. I did not planned to do full ATF change and only planned to top up, hence the search for the AW-1 specifically. And heard that AW-1 at generic stores are not genuine. So having a lot of doubts...

Dear all, Please recommend me good, reputed & trusted places to buy Suzuki ATF AW-1 transmission oil for my car. A*W doesn't bring down this particular ATF oil. or else please recommend me an alternative oil brand/specification to use. Thank you....

@iRage thanks for the insights. first of all, I changed my mind on Rav4's CC limitation after your explanation. So I'm all ears. My requirement is quiet simple. Need bit more ground clearance than a car. The vehicle will be used by parents mostly and it is convenient to have a easier seating position for them. Diesel or Petrol as long as they deliver acceptable fuel consumption as per their vehicle classes. (At least 10kmpl is preferred). Reliability is a main concern. Auto or a manual (Manual is preferred though) 7 seater is not required. a lower maintenance cost is nice to have as well. So these are the basic requirements and a car not too much old is preferred. Preferred YOF 2010 and newer but even something after 2005 is acceptable since my budget is limited. Not limited to specific brands as well and preferred good uncommon models if any. Even open to suggestions of other categories if they meet above criteria except ground clearance and seating positions. (loves Mazda 3 / Axela, KIA Cerato / Soul, Nissan Juke, Suzuki Grand Vitara) Did i make this complicated? 🧐

Fellas, I'm planning to buy a Toyota Rush, Rav4 or a Daihatsu Terios under a budget of 8.5mn. Likes a small SUV with some ground clearance.(Not the Rav4s with 2000+CCs) Honestly I know nothing about these cars and in need of your expertise, wisdom, experience, knowledge and literary anything which will assist me to take a decision. So please help.

Dear all, Thank you for your time. I have an unusual problem in my head unit. I have a Panasonic RE03D unit and when I try to connect an external USB drive in to the port following error message displayed (e1.jpg / first attached image) Then I have sourced a compatible USB cable from AliX (like the cable in c1.jpg / second attached image) and connected a USB pen drive through it. Then different error message pops ups. (e2.jpb / third attached image) I'm totally confused and clueless about this issue and would appreciate if someone can shed some light on this. The vehicle is a Suzuki Xbee and I have tried FAT 32 / NTFS partitions with different file types as well. Also tried connecting the phone in storage mode and still the second error pops up. But is charging with compatible cable which didn't happen with fitted cable. Please help... Thanks, -GBB-

Dear all, Appreciate spending your time on this question. My car has a Panasonic RE03D navigation head unit and a Panasonic DR02 drive recorder. The cable connecting drive recorder into head unit is missing and I couldn't find it anywhere I'm living (down south) or in eBay/AliX. Hence I kindly seek your advice on where to find this cable. Please refer the attached photos. Thanks, -GBB-

I heard that Mobil (McLarence lubricants) is said to conduct these types of testing on marine engine oils such as pilot boats / tugs. Not sure same is valid for vehicles though.

Hi there, Does anyone has working login credentials for Suzuki EPC portal? If yes can I borrow them for a moment? Thanks, -GBB-

Trying to troubleshoot an issue with Suzuki factory fitted omnidirectional camera system. Thanks, -GBB-

Hi NeroX, Not the most ideal person to answer your question but here are my thoghts. I brought one in last March (2019 2WD MZ with omnicamera package) and so far the experience is awesome. I absolutely love the vehicle. Regular maintenance parts are available in LK. However you will ran into some problems finding body parts for the vehicle at the moment which will solve along with time. (Been noticing more and more spare parts ads of the vehicle recently) And the design of the vehicle is not everyones taste. If you love seeing it in your garage and love sitting behind the steering wheel. then go for it.

Hi, Does anyone has the workshop manual / maintenance manual of Suzuki Xbee? Either in English or Japanese language? Thanks in advance, GBB PS: There is a maintenance DVD series by MKJP. Does anyone know where can I get these as well?

We have a year 2000, N16, brand new imported, manual transmission and the fuel consumption is around 15km/l. The engine is 1600CC (QG16DE). I believe in this version (QG16DE) there are no any other issues as in 1500CC N16. Ours is completing 16th year with us (2nd owner) and we didn't face any abnormal issues except replacing sensors only once.

Sorry mate. I'm not sure now. Researched about this vehicle years ago.

Hey guys, Do you guys mind telling me any available reliable method to translate Japanese user manual into English other than IBM Watson. Thanks in advance. -GBB-
