@Mkl22 ah ok! then 5-6 days is really weird haha.. 

also, if i alr know what parts to replace, do you reckon a trustable car workshop (one that is not "swift specialized") will do? 

sorry if qn is dumb! 

@Fcw75 yea, few hundreds.. but no choice 😞

Swift is just a normal car, not a Ferrari.

Any decent workshop can service it. Go to the first workshop that Mkl22 bro recommend. They can do a good job.

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.

For stocklist i used to get from Lesun. But i went to their website and they dont seem to carry suzuki now. Or you can go to Lawrence Ong at waterloo. 

For workshop, i will recommend Project S again. It was my go-to for any repairs for my swift. The boss really know the car inside out.

Those on zc31s or older swift.

new generation swift parts and accerroriss are limited cos the model is not launched in China

go to Taobao and search for 铃木雨燕. You can find tons of cheap accessories. 
 

Parts are dirt cheap and genuine if buy from the correct store.

Any recommendation for dash cam that fits the new hybrid swift? Due to the safety feature, there is a camera unit near the rear view mirror which occupies some space.
This means the dash cam must be mounted either lower in the middle or on passenger side.
Need some recommendation for good and small dash cam

Replace the rear view mirror with a smart rear view mirror with dash cam?

wah swift has improved much as compared to the old zc31 era lol

Expand  

Good idea!
Any brands to recommend? I checked the popular brands like blackvue, thinkware, they don't have this type of smart rear view mirror/dash cam

Don't know. This kind of accessories usually I buy online and fix myself. Not difficult at all. YouTube got tons of tutorials teaching you how to hide the cables etc

https://ezbuy.sg/product/51001330480922.html?keywords=xiaomi mirror&baseGpid=51001330480922&pl=2&ezspm=1.20000000.22.0.48

Can import via ezbuy or if you can read mandarin , taobao got plenty of such stuff.

No complains for xiaomi dash cam. Used 4 years already

anybody knows how to check the TPMS (tyre pressure management system) to see current tyre pressure?
I saw some pictures of the dashboard showing tyre pressure of all 4 wheels in some car review article but i can't seem to find it when i navigate through all the different options

Hi,

 

May I know where can I buy the touch up paint for blue swift 2019 ? Any idea what’s the colour code ?

Thanks !

Expand  

The colour code is stated on the tag on the side of the driver's door. Open the door and check the area between the door and the pillar, near the bottom
