Suzuki swift DIY repair

In detail: do-it-yourself suzuki swift repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

Hello again!) Another positive reading, with terrible photos but with the declared happy ending!)
This post will focus on the preventive maintenance of baby Suzuki. Many subscribers ask me to upload more photos and less text, but so that events would develop smoothly, like in a TV series and not a short film) On the other hand, it is understandable, 20 photos that can be uploaded into one entry can only describe the essence of the problem. I'll try to write about this car smoothly. I personally also do not like single-photo posts “it was-became”, the process is interesting.
Suzuki Swift, a very interesting and peculiar machine, with a peculiar design. For example, after visiting Thailand and having seen enough of this kind of car in tuning, I just fell in love with this car)
The only one I photographed is only one and even then in tuning for an amateur!)

The impact bent the radiator beam inward, he drove with a pinched lower hose. At first glance, it is enough just to tighten.

Even if I lift the metal and, with God's help, bring out a complex radial rib on the arch, take a fucking cloud of money for the work of a sculptor, all this will not last long! Therefore, my decision was unambiguous and the owner, of course, supported him! To such a mother, nafig, we cut off this rotten and crooked splendor!)

The site is dedicated to the car Suzuki swift and all its modifications:

Suzuki kei
Suzuki chevrolet cruze
Suzuki ignis
Suzuki wagon
Subaru justy
Opel Agila
Mazda laputa

The resource was created to help newcomers, and you can simply use it as a catalog for your car. Much was found on the Internet on Russian-language sites and forums, but it was a long time ago and at that time I was not going to create this resource, so do not kick too much if you see your photo or article without copyright, but just say that it is yours and me I will indicate the source. Gradually, I will post my work done on Suzuki swift 2002 onwards and maybe a little information on the second car Honda Fit 2001 onwards.

The new car of the Suzuki company - Suzuki Swift is the embodiment of quality, design and uniqueness of development. From the outset, the development of the Suzuki Swift car has been carried out in close collaboration with automotive specialists and car enthusiasts in Europe to create the best European compact car.

The new Suzuki Swift has become the most expressive, spacious, elegant, simple and comfortable car in its class. The new design, developed by Suzuki specialists, has become a new concept for the concern and the prototype of the design of the car of the new century. The new Swift was supposed to be a Japanese car designed for European roads and European consumers, which is why the development of the design and interior equipment was carried out by Suzuki craftsmen on the basis of the concern in Europe.

The exterior of the new Swift model is not typical for compact cars - the design conveys maximum dynamism and stability, innovation and originality. The stylish and dynamic front view gives the car the original headlights, wide air intake and a new logo that will be used for all future Suzuki developments.The feeling of stability, power and at the same time lightness is conveyed by the large wheels and the smooth lines of the body, which run from the headlights to the rear of the body.

In general, the Suzuki Swift car combines sportiness and elegance, solidity and lightness, power and excellent maneuverability. The vitality of the Suzuki Swift is enhanced by 15-inch wheels and 5-spoke aluminum wheels, which make the car feel ready to travel any distance at any moment.

In order for every owner of the new Suzuki Swift to be able to fully enjoy their purchase, the Suzuki company offers several options for equipping the car with an engine (gasoline 1.3L, gasoline 1.5L, diesel 1.3L) and a gearbox (5-speed manual, 5- step mechanical with automatic changeover, 4-speed automatic). Each version of the Suzuki Swift engine integrates a number of the latest technologies and provides comfortable driving at low and medium speeds, in the city and on the highway.

The Suzuki company is well known for its careful attitude to the safety of its car owners, therefore the new Suzuki Swift meets all the requirements and provides maximum protection from unpleasant situations on the road already as standard. The bodywork is designed in such a way that the damage done to the pedestrian in the event of a collision is minimal, not to mention the driver and passengers. To protect passengers, there are seat belts with pretensioners and tension force limiters, front, side and curtain airbags, ABS system, brake booster, brake force distribution system. To provide reliable protection against burglary, all doors are equipped with Suzuki brand locks, a keyless start system and an immobilizer are installed.

Suzuki Swift is a reliable and durable car. Other operational advantages include reasonable fuel consumption, a large number of substitutes for original spare parts and ease of service. All these features do not require excessive maintenance costs. You can save money by taking on some of the worries about maintenance and repair. It's not difficult at all.

Suzuki Swift was equipped with gasoline engines of 1.3, 1.5 or 1.6 liters and a 1.3-liter Fiat diesel engine. The most popular is 1.3 liter gasoline. Replacing the air filter, oil or coolant is easy. More complex operations include valve clearance adjustment. If the car is not running on gas, then, as a rule, there is no need for adjustment up to 100,000 km. When working with the chassis, the main obstacle can be the corrosion of the bolts - there are problems with their unscrewing.

One of the conditions for maintaining the high reliability of the Suzuki Swift is strict adherence to the maintenance requirements recommended by Suzuki. Experiments with increasing service intervals are out of the question. MOT must be carried out at least once a year or 10,000 km.

Oil filter.

The filter has easy access from under the car. Cost - from 200 rubles. The engine lubrication system uses 3.9 liters of 5W-30 viscosity oil.

Replacing candles.

The ignition system uses nickel plugs (change every 30,000 km) or iridium (every 90,000 km). The first type corresponds to NGK BKR6E-11 candles (about 100 rubles apiece), the second - NGK IFR6J-11 (from 500 rubles apiece). The candles are hidden under the air filter. You also need to remove the top cover. Next, you need a 16 mm wrench with a long nozzle and an extension cord, since the candles are located in deep "wells".

Air filter.

Replacing the air filter will take less than 10 minutes. It is enough to release the latches on the case and move the back part. The cost of the filter is from 300 rubles. Replacement - every 45,000 km.

Transmission.

A manual transmission will require 2.2 liters of GL-4 grade gear oil. The control and filler plug are located in the upper part of the box body.

In a 4-speed automatic, a replacement is recommended every 150,000 km. It's too much. It is better to reduce the replacement interval to 80-100 thousand km.

Coolant.

Glycol based fluid requires replacement every 45,000 km or 3 years. System capacity 6.2 liters. A convenient drain is located in the lower part in the middle of the radiator. The expansion tank is located next to the battery.

Brake pads.

Replacing brake pads and discs is no big deal. The minimum permissible disc thickness is 18 mm. The system uses DOT4 brake fluid.

Circuit breakers.

Fuses are located in two places - under the hood (next to the battery) and under the steering wheel. They can be divided into two groups - basic and individual. An instruction will come in handy for replacement.

Cabin filter.

Not all Suzuki Swifts are equipped with a cabin filter. Its presence can be checked by completely folding the glove compartment in front of the front passenger, having previously released it from the stoppers. Next, you need to press the cover latches and remove the filter. The cost of the filter is from 300 rubles.

Light bulbs in the headlight.

You don't have to disassemble anything to replace the bulbs in the headlight. The direction indicator uses WY21W lamps, and the H4 lamp is responsible for the low and high beam. In addition, the size of the W5W type is provided.

Back light.

To access the lamps, you need to unscrew the two screws and release the two latches - on the top and on the side. The direction indicator uses a P21W lamp, the brake light and side lights - P21 / 5W. The reversing light is provided by a P21W incandescent lamp.

Drive belt.

Replacing the drive belt is not a very difficult task. The accessory belts should be replaced every 60,000 km or 3 years of operation. The procedure should be performed in accordance with the recommended time frame so that you do not have to frantically search for a belt and fiddle with it somewhere on the road, at night, in snow or rain.

Engine control electronics.

The electronics are pretty basic. You can read the error codes yourself, but it is better to entrust the search for the causes of errors to professionals.

The engine uses a chain-type timing drive. In case of suspicion of its wear, the diagnostics should be entrusted to service specialists.

Sometimes you can hear the misconception that Japanese machines are complex, and any operations require knowledge and special tools. The Suzuki Swift strongly defies misconceptions. A basic set of keys will enable most maintenance work.

One of the specializations of our stations is the quality repair of Suzuki Swift. Our auto repair shops have a dedicated Suzuki Swift repair tool. Consumables, oils and fluids are available for routine maintenance. Within a couple of hours, from the main warehouse, we will bring any spare parts for the repair of Suzuki Swift.

We do not recommend doing DIY Suzuki Swift repairs. Everyone must do their job. You need to entrust the repair of your car to those who do it every day.

Suzuki Swift Repair Cost:

It is recommended to carry out routine maintenance and maintenance of Suzuki Swift every 7-10 thousand km. mileage. This necessarily includes changing the engine oil, oil filter, air filter and cabin filter. When carrying out scheduled work, we will make free diagnostics of all vehicle components and draw up a list of recommendations.

Every 60 thousand km. mileage, we recommend changing the timing belt with rollers, and if the motor is chain, then it is better to replace the chain every 120 thousand km. It is better to replace the candles every 40 thousand kilometers on gasoline engines and 100 thousand kilometers. mileage on a diesel engine.On Suzuki Swift models with adaptive throttle, it is recommended to clean and adapt the throttle every 60,000 km.

The most famous Suzuki Swift problems and malfunctions:
- acidification of the caliper pistons with subsequent uneven wear of pads and discs;
- unsuccessful design of the fuel filter - the car jerks, stalls, troit;
- creak in the car interior due to low-quality plastic - gluing with anti-creak material;
- a problem with the box - early failure of bearings and primary shaft oil seals;
- in standard cooling radiators, leak at the junction with the side part;
- tight steering wheel - a problem with the power steering of the car - a bulkhead or replacement, according to the result of diagnostics.

The degree of wear of the Suzuki Swift hub bearing can only be determined through diagnostics.

On average, the recovery procedure takes us about 4-6 hours.
There is a serious malfunction, it may take more time - you will find out about it immediately after inspection and diagnosis.

The actuator is the most important element of the transmission.
Its main task is to change modes while the car is moving.
This relatively small node is responsible for switching without delays or failures.
Also, thanks to the direct gear change, smooth transition to the next stage is ensured without interrupting the power.
In addition, the device adjusts the pressure in the clutch drive circuit and monitors the gearing of the transmission.
This device consists of electronic, mechanical and hydraulic units.

Due to the fact that the Actuator is the connecting control element of the transmission, it operates almost continuously during machine operation.
The driver recognizes the presence of a problem by activating the emergency mode on the instrument panel.
If you ignore the warning and continue to operate the machine, this will inevitably lead to further deformation of the transmission elements.
