I can get spray cans of that for tracing faulty circuits in electronic boards.

Hehehe . . . but I think the point is to just get a small area cold quickly. Water can absorb heat in a hurry.

One other thing that would probably work is the hot-glue-on dent pullers like "Pops-A-Dent" or similar units sold many places. It consists of a bridge device and pieces that look like the screw from a c-clamp. You hot-glue the pad on the screw to the dent, and using the bridge to spread the load, yo...

I have heard of this, but thankfully have never had to try it. If the hail dents are small (dimples) it might work. Leave the car out in the sun so the metal gets hot, or heat the area with a hair dryer or a heat gun. Then use an eye dropper to put a drop of ice water on each dimple. The rapid cooli...

If there's a filter on the firewall, I can't find it. None under the car either. I just see hoses and steel lines all the way from the tank.

The manual for my 2005 Forenza says to inspect the fuel filter every 24,000 miles and repalce it at 90,000 miles. It also says that it is integral with the fuel pump. The factory service manual shows how to remove the fuel pump from the tank through a cover under the back seat, but makes no mention ...

If you are flushing your cooling system with water, it is hard to get it all out. Adding 50/50 mix will result in a somewhat more diluted result. After flushing a car and draining as much water as I can, I add 100% antifreeze to the system until I have poured in 1/2 of the listed system capacity. I ...

Well since it seems to be a problem for ALL 2005 Forenza's, wouldn't it make sense to do a recall to replace that timing belt? Since only Suzuki and a few other individuals know what the sound is a result of... It's not the timing belt, it's the serpentine drive belt for the A/C compressor, alterna...

I sent a letter and a CD of the noise to Suzuki headquarters in California. They sent a field engineer to the local dealer to look at my car. They found that the serpentine belt was just a hair too long. At a certain speed the belt would start to flutter and the tensioner would travel too far and st...

You should be able to use any typical (ethylene glycol based) antifreeze at 50% as long as it's a major brand or even a store brand as long as the label says something about aluminum protection . . . and I think they all do. I live in Wisconsin, and a 50% mix is adequate for both Summer and Winter h...

Its okay where i live to not use any antifreeze... in winter i might change it cuz i cant park inside a garage at my girls house. But our summers dont drop below 80degreesF and get up to 120. 13degrees is a hudge improvement Antifreeze is also anti-boil. You might not want to drive without it entir...

Be very careful with engine cleaners. Re-suspension of sludge can kill an engine quickly by blocking oil passages and introducing dirt into the bearings. As long as the goo does not circulate it does no major harm. Most of the time it's better to let it lie until the engine can be torn down and clea...

I started it this morning up with the air cleaner box propped open. No difference, except we're getting warmer weather and the noise only lasted a few seconds. The only intake noise I heard was the sound of rushing air.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm . . . .

The sound is loudest near the front right fender well . . . near all of the accessories and the air intake box. The microphone was placed between the engine and radiator directly abpve the power steering pump. My latest hypothesis is that there is a critical frequency that is setting up some kind of...

Have you tried taking that audio sample to the dealership, to let them figure it out? It sounds like yout timing belt is rubbing slightly too.... althought the sound is rather muffled, so I could be wrong. Dealer had it for two days and heard the sound both mornings. The tech shimmed the timing cov...

Well, the microphone placement could have been a little better. The actual sound is not quite as "underwater bubbly" but it's close.
