Common problems and easy repairs on a 2003 XL-7

The 2003 Suzuki XL-7 Touring is an easy car to maintain. The tail lights are located in a single housing that swings out after removing of a couple of bolts, allowing for reliable bulb changes. The transmission fluid dipstick is quick to find and simple to remove, allowing you to monitor the fluid levels with ease. Changing the engine air filter isn’t a problem as no tools are needed to disconnect the housing to access the filter itself.

However, the 2003 Suzuki XL-7 Touring has its downsides. The front turn signals and daytime running lights require the grille and entire bulb housing to be removed for access. Tools will be needed to disconnect a glove box and a panel covering the cabin air filter, which won’t allow for reliable access. Fixing a flat may be a problem, as the spare is secured to the outside of the vehicle with multiple lug nuts.
