Dear all ZC32S's owners, do you guys experience this loud knocking/ticking/rattling noise from engine while cold start?

After driving a while it will disappear, but sometime it will make noise again while idling.

Has been sent to Suzuki Service Centre few times, they either can't solve it / can't heard it...

Would be much appreciated if someone had this problem before and it was fixed/solved.


Update: Ok sorry i just saw the previous post from other 32S owners as well having the same issue.

After done my 40K service with new spark plug the knocking/ticking noise reduce alot, i can say near 80%. But i just worry the problem only show after i do my own service and void the warranty.

1. On 6th gear if u cruising 110km/h its around 2700rpm (if not mistaken). They put the 6th in M16A for cruising purposes anyway.
2. Nvr own a Swift before, friend said feel like Myvi. Rattling sound everywhere. Especially door panels, and while u bending the chasis over a bump, my ZC32s sounds like a 70's cracking his bones (from the roof panel, i believe is the dried glue).
3. Shell V-Power 97, average 16km/L (actual measurements, not from the display cluster), average over 600km per tank (normally around 37L-39L).

Hope you found this helpful.

Cheers

Optimistic or not, i'd been having the same average record since2 years back since i got my 32s. Cluster always showing 3.x km/L extra, sometime 2km/L.

For example, cluster = 19.6km/L actual measurements 16.x km/L.

I've been recording every single fill up since got my 32s by using Fuelly.com

My friend got even more mileage than me thank to his lighter wheel, maybe 30km more.

Stick shift by the way.

Tried before, good run can hit 660km, about 40L i think. Number of time, it depends of the traffic flow and how smooth ur driving is.

My cluster always show (Average) above 18km/L, good run might near 20km/L, hardly.

Tyre pressure 35psi btw.

Ofcoz it's not... a fun driving car does not have to be always "sport like driving"... just a point that it can be fuel efficient at the same time too.

Yeap i like bumpy ride.

For those who having CVT issue on yours ZC32S...Japan had release the official statement regarding (i think so?) your gearbox issue which, i'd assumed that they extend the warranty from 5 years to 10 years and replace the faulty parts free of charge? (direct google translated)

Unlikely will...
