Suzuki Kyber/Swift Owners & Fan Club

Exactly that is how I want my car's brakes to perform. Right now my Khyber is having brake pads from a company "MK". Most of the people use brake pads from this company but I am not satisfied with them. When the car is descending from hills, although I use gears to reduce the speed, even then the brake pads start smelling and they become less effective. You have to press the brake pedal a lot more harder, still the braking is not good enough and you fear that the car will fall at sharp turn.

Can you please tell me that 3300 Rs is the price of brake pads for all the four wheels or just the front ones? And what is the name of the company?

I got the brake pads changed last month.
The brand name was V+E.
Brakes are excellent.

That is a common problem with Khyber,s headlight switch.
It can be fixed.
I know a guy in Sultan-ka-khu who runs his shop by the name of Suzuki House opposite to PSO petrol pump.
The headlight switch of my car was giving the same problem and I got it done from him and its working fine.
The new ones are damn expensive.
If you want more info about him then I can give you his number.
He is a bit expensive but he knows his work very well.

I will visit Kuh Sultan in a day or two. Have to find 2 original wheel covers as they were fallen during my visit to Jhang. I will also try to find Ventilators in a reasonable price, if possible.

How much money Suzuki House guy took from you to repair those switches?

What is the price of these brake pads? You changed the pads for all the four wheels? Or just front ones, as they suffer more wear and tear as compared to the rear ones.

I dont remember the price now.
I got it done almost a year ago.
About wheel covers try to get the original ones.
DONOT go for the new set of 4 available in 12".
I tried it and the quality was so pathetic that it broke during fitting.

These are for the front brakes.
Rear ones are different as there are drum brakes at the rear.
I changed the front ones and the cost was Rs.600 without the clips and Rs. 900 with the clips.
I changed the clips and paid Rs. 900.

Well..... the MK company brake pads also costed me 550 Rs without the clips. Why you needed clips? Where were the old ones?

About wheel covers.....yes I know that the new ones are very pathetic. They can not withstand even the lightest jumps. I will try to find original ones, as most of the people remove them as they install alloys.

[daniyalahmad]

^^ Old ones were there but my mechanic insisted on getting the new ones.

Some more details and pictures of the brake pads are mentioned in this thread.
Hope it helps.

Following are pics of my Suzuki Khyber. It is 2000 model.
As far as exterior/paint is concerned, it is totally genuine. Not even touching.
The engine got over hauled last year, as it was consuming oil. But now its running absolutely smooth.
It is my trustworthy partner for the last 10 years

[daniyalahmad]

^^ Looking good. (Y)
BTW You should have come at the Islamabad chapter g2g.
Yours could have been an addition to the Khyber club.

A small amount of engine oil is leaking from the four nuts which hold the tappet cover. Although it is not a big issue but it irritates me even if there is a small problem with my car.
The mechanic told me to change the tappet cover washers. These washers have rubber attached beneath them which prevents the oil leakage. Normal rubber can not withstand the high temperature of tappet cover. I had been trying to find them for a month but was not able to find them. Today luckily I found them from Kiyani Autos, Gawalmandi, Rawalpindi. I will change them tomorrow morning.

[daniyalahmad]

^ Hey same problem with one nut of my car.
Change them and tell me the results.
If they work then I,ll get the same for my car.

You are welcome.

I have changed them today. I hope that there will be no leakage now as the previous washers were left with very less rubber. I will tell you about leakage after driving the car for a week or so.

[daniyalahmad]

^ Okay.
I will be waiting for the update.

Hello all,

1. My speedometer is not stable (it waves too much), even if I have replaced the cable, & mechanics say it is bolted perfectly in the meter cluster. what is the solution?

2. The temperature gauge is not working properly, I have changed the thermostat in the engine bay, still it hardly rises to quarter of an inch. The internal gauge is working properly as we have tested the cable which connects to sensor in engine bay, touching it to Hot areas, it shoots up the internal gauge. I still don't have proper idea of my car's temperature. What is the solution?

3. The steering has become very light, after Camber setting, but it wobbles the steering on the bumpy roads, & tires feel detached as they move the direction of the steering wheels half a inch on every bump. What is the solution.

Kindly help.
