Re: My Beige BRUTE - Maruti SX4 ZDi - Update - 1 Year & 16500 kms [quote=powertrain;2667376] Technical Issue
From past 1 month I have been facing some issues with my SX4. When ever I change gears & lift off the clutch, I hear a strange "tak-tak" noise from somewhere near the front left suspension. This happens mainly in the first 3 gears. Also there was a slight pull towards the left.
I showed it to my S.E & he confirmed the problems. We suspected some loose bolts in the strut brace or tie rod end.Took it up the ramp & tightned all the bolts,but the problem persisted.
Finally had to leave my car there for further diagnosis. Finally after 2 full days they found the problem. It seems that the nuts holding the steering subframe had gone loose, so much so that it had eaten into the bolts. Due to this the link rod was also replaced under warranty.
Hi Varun,
I am facing the similar noise in my SX4 ZDI. I have visited MASS twice, but they say its normal, i don't agree with them .
Just came across this thread, perhaps this could be the solution. Is it possible to PM be your mobile # to have bit more clarifications.
Thanks & Regards
