I did this mod and it's a great band aid that may end up being a permanent mod. Looks like the inner sleeve of the bushings have separated from the rubber part and that's why they move up/down under...

Re: Air Conditioning works great after restarting engine!

Good idea, I'll check out the hi/low pressure switch, and the run command to the a/c clutch coil relay. I printed out the FSM pages and will do some Dx this week.

Thanks again.

Air Conditioning works great after restarting engine!

Has anyone experienced this issue with their A/C? My A/C will work great and does a good job at cooling down the interior. However, the compressor will stop turning and the air will slowly warm up...

Re: Torque Steer

In the world of 4x4, we attribute torque steer to worn out suspension bushings. I'd be curious to learn what causes this in the SVX world!

Re: HVAC code 14 & 15

Thanks for the info. I tried punching in my VIN and my vehicle didn't come up. Furthermore, I see Alcyone SVX as the only option on that site. How do you navigate this site? :rolleyes:

Re: Sounds proofing for the SVX?

Do you happen to have a pic or two of the rest of your exhaust system? The one pic you posted shows a real, clean and simple system.

I'm at my wits end in trying to find the source of this scraping sound that ONLY happens when turning left, meaning the weight of the vehicle has transferred to the right side of the vehicle. Seems...

Re: SVX turns off while it's running

while this happens, no check engine light codes pop up? I'd think that the ECU would detect a MAF sensor fault and report it.
