no need to break it tho .. just use a Torx 6 or 7 .. just a little over size of that hole and tap it in .. and done

Great hearing from you and this confirms that common problems among all Swift. It actually has another knocking sound from the engine bay. I sent to the workshop two times but they could not find the problem. I later managed to find the issue and it was a simple fix.

​@@wowcarwowhi can you please tell me what the knock was? I'm looking at a 2017 today for my son! Any reply appreciated cheers from Australia 👍

@@dragan3290 not sure which knock you refer to. There was a knocking sound from the front which I spent a lot of money fixing but didn’t solve the problem. I later found where it was coming from and fixed it myself. Watch this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qNSXhLWnttmlgn0.html

@@wowcarwow the one I was wondering was the rear parcel shelf and the hatch where you put the cloth material! I had a look at 2 Suzuki swift this morning and first one mechanically was great, but the top strut mounts were a bit loud when going over speed bumps. Easy fix. The second Suzuki: beautiful paint job, interior, drove well, excellent suspension and no error codes with a scantool connected! But the sludge when I opened the oil filler cap was horrible!!! I've never seen so much sludge on such a nice condition car!!!! Almost like it never had an oil change? Cheers 🙂

@@dragan3290 oh that knock wasn’t a problem. Sludge on oil cap? Maybe the coolant got in the engine oil. Not a good sign.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Maybe remove the trunk, problem solved. The plastic used in this car is too thin.

Wow thanks for sharing.

Great engine and transmission but the rattling sound is everywhere. Sometimes it feels like falling apart but this car has 145000 km. The paint quality is horrible. Apart from that everything else is great.

@@wowcarwow Thank you for your reply. I've heard that there's a gearbox bearings issue aswell. Greetings from Malta Europe :)

I did not know it is that common, the right side bearing is failing and making an annoying noise, i have not replaced it though for the past 3 years ,,, the stupid mechanics told me its the rear right drum break and i told him ok lets replace it.. was a big mistake as now i have one new rear drum brake one old and still a noisy bearing haha

Thanks for sharing

Hello koosvanpetten Nice to hear that your car works that well. Is it made in Japan or in Hungary (EU) ?

@@erik7452 Mine on the license says built in japan and i have all of those exact issues

What year

I wouldn’t buy a new one either.

I always use fully synthetic oil for all engines because it makes the engine more long lasting and run more efficiently. However, fully synthetic oil is very thin, if you use it on old engines with poor maintenance, it might leak but you can always give it a good service and seal it well for once.

Ok thank you 0w40 is what i use to the Swift

@@alialilou7178 that’s very good oil. 0w40 works well in extreme weather. I use 5W30. Cheaper than yours but among the more expensive oils used here in Kuching.

Not sure how to count in mpg but in Asia it is 6.3 to 7.5L/100km. Another word, I get around 13km/L in the city.

In Kuching, I get it from Sun Lun
