which is why i'd prefer to pair it with sachs shocks? do you think it will be a better ride that way?

Looking at this passenger side air vent, I think it should give you a good idea on how to remove it.

i have got the same model and i am sending mine to change the OCV tomorrow at platinum lifestyle in bagan.

it was leaking last time i checked but changing the o-ring only will not help. a known issue, according to suzuki service center. so i having the whole pump changed.
and also check for sort of steering rack sound, which i suspect is not. i had the brake pins changed recently.

slowly repairing all the things i need to repair for the car.
next should be the compressor because the air cond sucks especially in the afternoon and hot day.

try platinum lifestyle service center in bagan?

I had to change the oil control valve because the leak was from there. Cost me rm410 for the ocv and the labor is rm50.

Also changed the absorber link, 2pcs at rm88 each. The sound which is similar to the steering rack sound gone. But I'll have to change the absorber mounting as well because it's been 10 years plus and the dampers and absorber covers are done.

Surprisingly my shocks are still ok, no leaks. Will continue to use the shocks by changing the absorber mounting, damper and cover. Glad could save a bit of money

Yo guys, I am looking to buy my first car and wondering if a 2nd hand Swift is a good choice. I won't be driving that much, mostly driving out on weekend and weekday occasionally. Is it hard to find a SC for swift and is it recommended at all to buy a 2nd hand Swift?

Thanks in advance guys!

Regardless of any brand used car, always bring a trustable mech to check for possible accident history.

As a weekend car, i think it is ok. Generally cheap to maintain and reliable. For SC, there are 2 i know, Batu Caves which i service my car not long ago, and Glenmarie, i saw it too. Others im not sure.

Good luck.

Hi all. It's been awhile since i bought my car. In a blink of an eye it's close to 5 yrs++ now.

Journey so far:
No major issue. Engine ok. Touch wood everything go well.
Normal crack on aftermarket side skirt
Mileage is about 1-120 km and ongoing
My car is NA

Changed item:
4 units of tyres
16'->15' rims
silicon wiper
Dry Panasonic battery @2016 (First change from stock battery)

Things coming to change:
Lightbulbs
Battery anytime as soon hit 3 years
Disk Brake pads x4 (anyone can recommend or just stick to ori)
Overhaul (if mech say need, subject to wallet)

Overall experience:

This car is good from performance, stability and NVH. It was (CBU) highly priced then reduced (CKD). I am satisfied with the car, still good looking imo, fine quality and not giving me any headache. I will keep this car for long term. It's fun to drive.

Only downturn about it is resale market. Price is crazy.

I own the swift 1.5 2011 model, it’s definitely fun car to drive and until now it’s still working pretty smoothly.

Just that I don’t know why this car turning loop is so big as compared to other bigger cars tongue.gif
Sometimes even Camry in front of me can manage to make the u-turn on small road hahaha but my swift just couldn’t

That could have been us. We could have driven the hell out of this car. And when the economy tanked in the Recession, gas prices spiking, Suzuki could have made a killing. Hell, if you ask me, the Suzuki Swift would have saved Americans from hurting in the global financial crisis—if not averted it entirely.

Get the manual Swift Sport, it's a perfect little pocket rocket for a weekend fun car. It's expensive for its class but it's really worth it as it's miles better than anything else in the same class. The car is a pretty simple car so repairs & maintenance is easy for just about any workshops, no need to go to SC. Parts are also still easy to find.
