Swift Owners

[hotcakeswithsausage]

@Rootkie hello! yes according to dealer, it is stock 

[hotcakeswithsausage]

@hotcakeswithsausage to add on, i started driving this car with a avg of 7.7km/L displayed on my information panel. 

My battery died once a month ago and the info on the panel reset itself. Now my avg is showing 6km/L (which is so much worst T_T) 

According to dealer, it is non modified (but I'm the 5th owner la so I'm not sure how true) 

I really want to find out what's causing the high fuel consumption, so if anyone knows anything do give me some advice, thank you!!

Hello all! I recently bought a 2008 Suzuki swift sport in May. New driver here.  However i find my fuel consumption quite high. Based on my mileage and fuel usage since May, i average around 6.6km per litre. 

I've seen better km /l for a swift sport, wondering why my swift sport fuel consumption is so high? Any solutions or ways I can check to find the cause of this? 

thanks!! 

 

I am driving a Swift Sport 2009.

My fuel consumption shown on the dashboard is around 12km/L - which is quite accurate. There is a button in the central console to toggle display modes. Try to toggle it to show average instead of instant. Will take a couple of weeks for it to display the correct FC. May show as a dash if the computer haven learn enough data.

My vehicle is total stock. maybe you want to take a photo with your hood open. from there agar agar can see if it is modified.

This small vehicle is impressive. After driving for many years now than I realized swift sport has many airbags even as compared to modern cars

You can reset the average anytime. Just press and hold the button when the average units are displayed.

Hi Everyone, I just booked a new swift 1.2 mild hybrid, now waiting for next COE bidding
spent the last few days basically reading all the way from page 1 to date!
seems that it isn't easy to find parts/accessories for the new swift in SG?
every workshop's fb page i check out seem to show off the older swift only
and the fb suzuki swift club singapore seems to be abandoned.... tried joining few months ago but pending approval

I'm looking to do the following mods, anyone who did before and willing to share, kindly PM me
- Link the remote lock/unlock with the folding side mirror
- Install lip, side skirt, wheel arch
- Arm rest (search taobao, only 2 or 3 type and they look cheap with ugly fake chrome and usb ports)
- Install additional USB ports at front and rear seats
- Comprehensive sound proofing

Congrats.

The side mirrors of the new swift doesn’t fold when you lock the doors?

I thought every new car have this function, even the Attrage have it…haha. That’s the minimum already.

Grats!

the swift club FB was abandoned long ago after most of the pioneers changed car. 

Aesthetics and performance maybe can try project s. 

 The rest i think can do at those ICE shops.

comprehensive sound proofing will add weight. anyway don't get suckered by local ICE shops into sticking butyl sheets everywhere. only a bit is enough. as it does squat for sound proofing. go read up online about closed cell foam and Mass loaded vinyl. that works much better.

My Forester also no have. MI retrofit here and advertised as free gift.

Hello all! I previously posted about my issue with fuel consumption.

2008 Swift Sport

Just a little bg, i'm a new driver, and also 1st time to a workshop for servicing, so I am new to all these 😔

Had my car checked at Garage R and have to have few things replaced (spark plugs, ignition coil, head rocker cover gasket)

1. I'm trying to minimize my costs... anyone knows which stockist i can get my parts from? 

2. Just trying to see if anyone has a recommended workshop for their swift? Garage R told me they need around 5-6 days to work on my car which is quite long, so trying to see any alternatives.

2 workshops in Singapore deal with lots of swift. 
1. BL garage at kaki bukit

2. project S at woodlands.

you can google address for both. 
 

5-6 days at garageR? Are they gonna overhaul the engine? Or maybe they hinting to you to go away. 

[hotcakeswithsausage]

@Mkl22 thanks!! i will check them out 🙂

I also dont know why so long. My o2 sensor also needs to be replaced. 

But they did mentioned they need to take apart some parts (i did not catch what is it but something to do with the exhaust) and that will take time. But still i find 5-6 days super long. Maybe they are swarmed 🤷‍♀️

Replacing o2 sensors in swift is a 5min job if the sensor is not stuck!

The O2 sensors are expensive.
