My Swift Sport developed a top end ticking sound.. Suspected Valve Clearances (No Shedfest or OG)

- Yes you read the title correctly, Suzie's engine has developed a bit of a tick in the top end. I've noticed this for a little bit now since Japfest and it does not go away when the car is warm so It's time to sort it out before the worst case scenario happens.. These things never happen at the best time! This means sadly I won't be attending my next two events.

If the Key Fob battery is dead or low. Just use the fob to push the star/stop button. Easy start.
Thank you for informing me 👍
Must be a thing on these, 32S in my neighborhood that makes quite a loud ticking noise. My 31S is quite 'clacky' on cold start but I think that's quite normal for the M16A in the sports.
Definitely, it’s normal on cold start. Mine only used to do it on cold start but now it does it even after a bit of driving, not bad but you can hear a tick in there
Problems with the Suzuki seem to be going around, my driver side rear caliper was leaking brake fluid and had to have it replaced, good luck with the ticking noise, I'm at 107k miles and the ticking is definitely more noticeable in cold start
Tell me about it! The callipers seem to be a favourite with them. Thank you! As long as some of the ticking doesn't carry on that loud when warm you'll be fine.
105k on mine and ive got a similar noise, hopefully its an easy and cheapish fix
I’m hoping so too, it’s nothing major that’s the main thing. We will see
You probably need to shim the followers - isn't that a regular service item (iirc 30k miles on lesser engined Swift's)🤔🤔🤞🤞🙏
It is a fiddly job on some cars (not sure about the Swifts), but don't LEAVE it! You could do it, I'm not sure re specialist tools (but such aren't worth it for once or twice in a lifetime jobs) getting those bolts out is the bigger challenge I suspect, but not impossible (WD40 soaking or induction heat - which iirc is okay on alloy).
You're making the right decisions thus far though mate.👍👍💜
Worse happens at sea💜✌️😊
Yeah I believe so, valve adjustment. It's supposed to be yeah but a lot don't get done. Went to see a 2012 3 door for sale once and it was clapping its nuts off 🤣🤣 That had done over 150K sounded like the engine had never had the oil changed let alone valves checked.
@@wallsworkshop My car is low miles, so a bit like spark plugs, not life expired until mileage is achieved (okay there is a time limit on spark plugs to an extent - but you catch my drift). Same with tappets/followers. On my old cars, I'd do them once a year, RC gasket and feelers etc job done, similar with timing. On modern cars, some brands are fully hydraulically self adjusting. Others with wear require shims. It's not a technically difficult job. On my Swift? Light tappet/hyrdraulicing sound on start up, it clears in moments, but as we aren't at 30k miles I've left them alone (stuck rocker cover bolts worry me on that front). BUT, I've a funny feeling that even if/when a main dealer says they are done? They don't do them, but charge for it in the appropriate service. Not all, but some. But allowing them to clatter on is not good on lots of fronts. You'll get is sorted - shame it wasn't at a more convenient time.
@@musoseven8218 yeah I catch your drift. Stuck rocker cover bolts is annoying and worrying yes, it's only 2 of then but still not ideal. I agree with the main dealers sometimes not doing them this possibly happened to me. When I picked the car up it was supposed to have a full hit from Suzuki but I don't think that ever got done, pretty sure that rocker covers never been off.. It should be sorted by the end of the week, everything always comes at the worst times lol
Think you and me both dodged a bullet not going to Shedfest by the looks of things. Lots of reports of people giving up and turning around after 4 hours of traffic trying to get in
You're right on that it seemed like chaos, apparently it's because Mallory only has one entrance and exit lane for everything going to the track.
Wish u all the best with ur car
Nice one all should be good in a weeks time
Like others, mine's a little 'ticky' for the first 30-60s unless it's fairly warm (engine or outside). I'm sure it started after my first oil change which made me wonder what was in it previously (is there a treatment?) or was there something wrong with my oil or filter. I poked around in forums and asked a few questions, but I'm undecided on what to do. I'd love to know the cost at the dealers.
I think the calipers could be a common thing on these cars. I've just done my front and now looking at one on the rear!
BTW I think the low battery on keyfob is less of a problem when it's next to the start/stop button.
Mine pretty much always was like that and I’d say if it’s ticky on startup till warm, that’s normal. My tick is still persistent when warm so that’s why I’m concerned. Hopefully Suzuki have the answers and I’ll let you know!
Yeah definitely, they’re the originals on the front so fair play they’ve done 94k. I’ll try it next to the button next time, not long replaced it 😅
How did you manage to adjust the valves? I live in England and I'm looking for someone who will do it well
I didn’t manage to do it I’m unable to do the job myself at home. To this day the car is still fine and it’s got no worse. I’m also looking for someone to do it in the future
Not long got my self one of these with 35k on the clock, my idle rpm is about 590 when hot and feels lumpy, put a new intake rubber arm on it as it has some cracking around the EGR but it still feels like idle rpm is to low, what does yours idle at when warmed up?
Thanks.
These swift sports in EU spec supposedly all idle at around 600 to meet some stupid regulations. Mine idles at 600 ish too
Could you go to shed fest in your mk1 swift?
Sadly it was written off in October 2023
Hi where did you get you exhaust from 😉
Custom made from Swift Auto Services 😎
I had the same sound in my 32 and yesterday i did the valve adjustment in my suzuki dealer, 229€ , 4 valves out of range, the sound its not there now.
Now i have a little ticking noise in cold start, almost imperceptible, my dealer says that is normal.
How many miles on your 32s?
Only 229€?? Where are you from If you don't mind me asking? That price in England is literally unheard of, they would charge double that just to tell me what I already knew about the car. The slight tick on the coldstart is normal yes.
@@gonzalodominguez4850 142.000 km
@@wallsworkshop from Spain, the dealer told me the prices before do the work, open and check only 119€ and the worst panorama 279€.

mine does the exact same sound on cold start for a few minutes then stops mines on 92k
Usually mine does the same but it's the past few weeks that it's carried on a bit when warm
Oo I have this on my 32S, please let us know what you think it is? Thanks mate
I’ll post an update once it’s been to Suzuki mate, I’m willing to bet that it’s valve clearances/adjustment
@@wallsworkshop legend, thank you. You are my go to for new Swifty vids!
@@coastal.crescent🙏😎
I'd love to know how much this costs, and what Suzuki say, got a similar thing going on.
Me too I'm not sure if I'm looking forward to finding out lol, as long as its sorted. I will post an update when I know more
@@wallsworkshop Mine subsides a bit when warm, but my car doesn't high idle when it cold starts (does if I let the engine warm up to above 20c and restart) and it's due a valve service. Best of luck and thanks for covering such a great car.
@@michaelrc9098 The cold start high idle seems to be a little different with each 32S. Thank you very much 🙏 I have plenty more videos in the pipeline once this is sorted.
Have the same problem, tell me if u fix😘
I will make a video on it when it’s been to Suzuki and fixed to update everyone on the problem 🙏
J'ai le même problème 92k
Je publierai une mise à jour lorsque Suzuki m'aura dit ce qui se passe et résolu le problème.
I will post an update when Suzuki have told me what's going and fixed the problem.
