please kindly share your experiences.. problems that you have encountered with your celerio, so that we can learn from it.. thanks!

1. Spark plug fouling - due to incorrect spark plugs installed in our celerios. This results in poor starting, acceleration and fuel consumption. Change to OEM NGK iridiums available in TCP.

2. Engine noise - This is tolerable but mainly you will notice this once in a while as our engines are run by timing chain and not belts. robust in design and longevity-wise it is more durable. Most common wear for timing chains are the sprockets.

3. Cabin filter - Change this every 10k possibly so that dirt in your blowers gets filtered properly and clean air comes in.

4. Oil - After reaching 1kms to 1.5kms, change to 5w30 or 5w40 oils as recommended in your manuals. Preferable brands are Motul, Royal Purple and the likes. Lighter oil is designed for fuel economy and our cars are built to run with these oils.

5. Brake pads - our stock pads are designed based on OEM specs but if you really want stopping power, use Bendix pads available in TCP for upgrades. You will notice the difference between how far your car stops running at 60kpm, for example, to complete halt. Sometimes, hindi agad kumakagat yung stock pads and better alternative is to switch to performance pads. Safety first, above all. (or drive safely)

6. Burning rubber smell - This is normal for new cars when your rev at high speeds exceeding 3.5k rpm. The best way to break-in your celerio is to run the engine real hard. (like racers do). It will go away sooner than you think.

7. Aircon - there were factory issues recently that Maruti had released on aircon thermistors. Nawawala yung lamig but as soon as these manifests, go to the nearest casa and have them create a report so they can replace it for you, FREE of charge.

8. Poor tire inflation - results to more fuel consumption and tire wear. Use nitrogen when filling, 39 psi front and 36 psi rear as eco pressures. Don't believe in those people that says 30 lang dapat, check your manual...that's the recommended tire pressure. Max pressure of your stock tires is 51 psi.

goodluck sa baguio challenge.. more success to TCP family!!!

hindi ba sobrang taas ng 36 and 39psi? hindi ba mag-suffer suspension natin since sobrang lubak dito satin?

Sobra yan. Ako nga in my corolla & civic 30-31psi lang eh. Both 15's, celerio pa kaya. Liit ng gulong.

[weisshorn]

36 or 39 psi tire pressure talbog na ang gulong sa kalsada nyan.

Dapat sundin na lang ang pressure na recommended/stipulated dyan sa driver side door. IMHO

Nakalagay po sa manual na 39 front, 36 rear psi.. For maximum fuel efficinecy.. Kahit anung tires naman po, pag tinaasan mo ang psi, mas matalbog at less grip din siya sa kalsada..

Hello people, I dont know some of the comments you have made, but I am having a horrible experience with my Suzuki Celerio. Four days after we bought it new in Iloilo, it developed a sound from the front brakes (?) and we took it back to the agents. After some tinkering around they gave it back. Then it was worse and a few days later the sound became horrible. It was taken back again. Then they recalled it for some other reason - suspension or something. Again in the workshop for a day or two. A few days ago AGAIN there were rattles from the front and this time back also. They now say they need to keep it for a while and if it does not work, get some specialists from Manila. This is a BRAND NEW car and its not even 6 weeks old and is in the workshop for the 4th time. Does anybody know or can somebody shed some light on this?????

[Jawpades16]

Hi sir.. It may be your brake pads that causes that sound.. Umulan po ba diyan sir?? Baka po nagform lang ng rust between brake pads and rotors.. Kung squeeking sound po ang naririnig niyo pag inapakan niyo po yung brake pedal, yun lang po ang cause nun.. Log in po kayo sa TCP - Team CELERIO Philippines (Suzuki Celerio) para madami pong makasagot sa inyo..

[munezrj2001]

sir antonwrc..

hindi totally nagrurust ang rotors lumalabas lang to sometimes after na nag washing ka ng gulong. Drive mo lang ng konti sa street tanggal agad yang rust. 4 days pa lang nung nabili nila may ganon ng tunog na squeak kelangan lang siguro ng magaling na mekaniko sa casa para makita ang problema.

Mas lalo ngang magkaka squeek kasi matagal po na stock sa planta yung unit.. May celerio po kami kaya alam namin ang problema sa ganyan.. Natural lang yan kung stock brake pads.. After magpalit ng Bendix Ceramic pads, nawala na yung squeaking sound..

hindi natural yan kung brand new. brand new palit agad ng brake pads? Mahinang klase pala brake pads ng celerio.

Magpakita ka sir ng stock na kotse na hindi nagrurust ang brakes pag naulanan.. Ang sinasabi ko lang eh mababawasan ang squeeking sound dahil ceramic brake pads na ang gamit mo.. Kahit anong kotse naman, pag gumamit ka ng ceramic brakepads eh mababawasan ang squeek ng brakes pag basa at mas makapit ito..

[munezrj2001]

OT: Sir Jawpades16 ano name mo sa TCP site?

sir jawpades magback read ka ito sbi ng nagpost "Hello people, I dont know some of the comments you have made, but I am having a horrible experience with my Suzuki Celerio.

gaya nga ng sinabi ko sa previous post ko hindi totally nagrurust ang rotor nag rurust lang ito sometimes pag nagwashing ka or nabasa pero after mo i-drive ito tanggal ulit yang rust. ang case kasi dito brand new yong kotse 4 days palang may naririnig na syang squakes dinala uli nila sa casa pero mas lalong lumala yong squakes. kung brake pad naman ang may problem bakit ka naman magpapalit agad ng brake pad eh brand new nga yong kotse at under warranty pa ito. so kung ganon sinasabi mo na magpalit ng brake pad walang kwenta pa lang brake pad ng celerio 4 days lang ginamit palit agad,sa tigin ko hindi ito ang problem nya kaya naghahanap sya ng mahusay na mekaniko sa casa. may chevy spark ako brand new din almost 2 months na nilusong ko na sa baha after matuyo nagrust yong rotor pero nung ginamit ko uli walang squakes at tanggal din yong rust. no need to replace ceramic brake pads =).

[munezrj2001]

so far wala pa naman ako kakilalang nka celerio na ganyan ang problema..
