Sir ji you should be thankful that your car has ABS, might come handy in some situation!

I know yaar. But these noises are too irritating. You think this sound is of ABS? If it is, then it was never there before, it just started.

Yes it is as explained by @faiz.aslam.121 above it kicks in during hard breaking. But if it's too irritating then there is no harm to visit a 3S for inspection. You are in warranty period so better utilize it.

Abs goes like tak tak tak..
Quite loud

[faiz.aslam.121]

Get it checked by 3S tomorrow- Brake system is not something you want to compromise on
Check your tires for correct air pressure as well.

[shaffs]

I have checked the tyre pressures. I have kept 33 in the front and 30 in the back as per Suzuki's manual.

Suzuki is a good car, but at times, when these irritating sounds/issues appear, it makes me wonder if it worthy of 1.3 million price tag!

The brake noise was never there until two days back and it keeps getting louder when i apply brakes hard. Has anybody experienced this squeaky noise along with a noise of something moving in the front wheels during braking?

Wheel balancing/Alignment- get it done.
Was it raining for the past 2 days where you are currently? Have a look at the rotors. Get the gap between disc and rotor checked.
Take 2 U-turns, one to the left and one to the right with the steering wheel fully locked to either side.

My car has no issues like this despite me driving on crappy roads etc.

[shaffs]

I am in Karachi so no rains here!

Wheel Balancing and alignment already? Don't you think its too early considering my car is just 3 months old?

Still a Suzuki. Get it checked tomorrow. Tell the mechanic the symptom's of the car and the problems you're experiencing, he will take a test drive with you and inspect it afterwards.

Even Porsche's catch fire, they cost more than yours and mine Swift, that too by ten-folds.!

Don't get panic by the brake noises, there would be nothing serious I am sure.

[alitayyab]

Guys, i am regretting i bought a Swift. It's been 3 months and 3000 KMS and my swift dlx is giving me surprises every week.

Now, the latest issue being brake noise. There is a squeaky noise along with a noise of some part moving from the front wheels that comes whenever i apply brakes. This is irritating. I spent 1.3 million rupees on a car and this is what i got?

Has anyone experienced the same brake noise?

That break noise is 'normal'. The manual mentions this as well. Its usually due to build up of dust on the disks.
Its not limited to locally manufactured Suzuki's. Google this up. Its a pretty universal phenomena. There are some solutions that are offered as well.

If the noise is unusually loud, you might want to get it checked.

PS:
Some other 'surprises' you might get
1. The break light relay produces a 'tick' noise right below the steering wheel area. This is again common in all Swifts as well
2. The rubber seal on the door is held in place by plastic tabs That make a strange noise during summers. I get it from my right rear door. IIRC this also shows up in Indians and UK Swifts
3. The dash is super plasticky and it will rattle at high speeds on a bumpy road. This again is not limited to our locally made suzuki

I guess PAk suzuki's swift inherited every problem that all Suzuki's swifts have all over the world. At-least this shows they are offering the same materials as everyone else!

Apart from other added Pak Suzuki QC issues.

Lol my swift is roughly 2months+- old, 4700KM driven and it has alignment issues, steers to the left and the steering is not aligned properly as well.

For being not recommended or recommended?

It's strange we're getting so many issues even after paying 1.3 million bucks. Even Suzuki dealers are tired of it, they blame PakSuzuki for the quality issues and how PakSuzuki expects the dealer to fix all the issues!

Most fuel efficient speed for Swift is 95kmph on 5th gear. My Swift gives 19kmpl at this speed on Motorway.
These experiments are made with tyre preasure of 34 (in all 4 tyres) and with clean air filter.

[faiz.aslam.121]

19km/l? How in the hell did you manage that haha Please tell us how you calculated this mileage!

[222Ammar]

Repling for Shaffs

I changed first oil of my Swift at 4000km and my Cousin changed it at 5000km. Please regularly check engine oil stick as engine oil runout is normal during breaking period of new engines. (1st 5000km is breaking period before which engine oil is not fully distributed in engine). Change your engine oil before 5000km if engine oil level becomes very low because of engine oil runout due to breaking period. And change it at 5000km if engine oil level remains up to the mark.

[222Ammar]

19km/l? How in the hell did you manage that haha Please tell us how you calculated this mileage!

Actually cars give maximum fuel average on 5th gear at certain RPM between 2 and 3 (x100RPM). It is 2.5 for Swift. I found it after number of motorway journeys at different RPMs on 5th gear.

I always calculate fuel average by reseting the trip meter and topping up fuel tank to full before journey. And again topping up to full after journey. The liters of topping up tank after Journey and trip meter reading are required ones for fuel efficiency calculations.

That's cool! I am sure it was without AC and you were alone right?
I got- 13.7Kmp/l at speeds between 120-130 with AC on, 20 PSI approx in the left tire and 3 passengers + 60 kg of luggage, I am satisfied

And yes, the method you're using is correct. Who needs Hybrids lol.

Yes. All experiments were without AC. Total weight of passengers will be between 100 to 150 kg with no luggage and with 43 liters in fuel tank.

Cool. I like the way you explained things!
I think I should only refill 10 liters each time, too bad most pumps don't give back spare change, that annoys me :(, so I just refill to max using MasterCard
