Hi Welinton. I have never used anything but regular gasoline and it seems to work fine.

My god if the warranty was 3/36 or 6/60 it would not be a problem but the 100,000 mile warranty. ok hears the deal no company offers a warranty thats longer then the expected failure rate. 100,000 ok good job but now it's over did you do all the service the dealer recomended possiabley. If you are one of the few who did good job your dealer will go to bat for you with the rep because you spent the money to keep the car in good shape at that dealer. But if you had a few things done here and a few things done there and only did warranty work or just the cheap stuff at the dealer than it's just simple math. Don't think that just because you bought car from the sales dept that the service dept will jump through hoops for you.

Two huge problems with this engine 1 the pcv valve breaks apart inside and 2 the injectors spray aginst the cylinder head not in to the intake port. GM will not allow suzuki to repair the car so suzuki just stoped selling them 2 years early there are huge law suits about this between the two so who knows. The way things look right now suzuki could buy out GM by the end of the year if thay wanted to.

Ok so heres the deal. We bought this car because we liked it. We thought that this would be a good "family" vehicle. Boy were we wrong. Just because I didn't have my car serviced at the dealer didn't mean that I didn't do scheduled maintenance on the car. Also just because I didn't do maintenance at a dealer doesn't mean that Suzuki shouldn't stand behind their product. I don't expect anyone to jump through hoops for me and I sure as hell am not looking for a free ride. I have a HUGE problem when companies try to sweep exsisting problems under the rug. A car repair should NEVER be more then the car is worth!

I agree with you and trust me there are several veronas with 50 thousand dollars worth of warranty work done to them on the road. I also believe suzuki dose stand by there product and in you case they did for 100,000 miles. You also correct you can do all your work at whatever shop you want and thats perfectly fine. But when you want warranty assistance from a dealer or manufacture they always seem more fourth coming if you have spent all those service dollars at a dealer buying suzuki parts and paying suzuki dealer techs. It is all about business if you bought a 30 thousand dollar car from the sales department and spent zero dollars at the service department (in the 104,000 mile period you won't get much help. But if you spent 30 thousand dollars at sales and will say 6 to 8 thousand dollars having the normal and additional services done in that same millage period. That will get some attention from the right people. I am sure the shop you normally go to if you are a good customer would give you a good deal on engine replacement because your a good customer but if I walked in there it would be a whole different store. I am not saying it's right but that is just the way it is.

nocking engine noise

hi emeka1 i think is no solution in this problem,the mecanic told me that the engine is fine, but in my conclucion i think that nocking noise when the car is cold is because the motor oil take to long to go up and lubricated the whole engine, remember when the engine is cold all the oil is on the botton part and have to go up and lubricated the engine, thats why the nocking noise go away after 3 minuted after the engine is warm and lubricated by the oil.another point after the engine is warm and you drive, you turn the car off and turned back on is no nocking noise is only when is cold. well in my solution when i star my verona in the mourning i turn the radio on, so i dont have to heard that nocking noise from the engine, take care and good luck.

The engine noise may be related to the pistons. Modern pistons are quite short, have no steel inserts to control expansion, and sometimes cause a bit of noise until they reach operating temperature. I would pay attention to the trend of the noise. Is it deteriorating? If so, pistons are probably not the cause since they normally wear very slowly.

Interesting article. But this engine has been a real piece of garbage. You can't help to think if they would have stayed with a GM design they would have been much better cars!

The verona engine is a complety GM design. Gm declined to fix the engine half way through the contract with suzuki. Suzuki revisted the engine repair a year after taking on the line and gave Gm most of the information to preform the corrective action needed. GM would not repair the vechile. Rember suzuki buys the verona reno and forenza. Built and ready to go from GM all suzuki dose is sell them and fix them Thay have no other input. Which is why the verona is gone and forenza and reno are out next year. The only mistake suzuki made was trusting GM a company thay have done business with for along time. GM may be gone soon
(god I hope so) I know it will hurt the work force and ecnomey of mexico ,china and every other cheap labor country out there but only about 5 real americans will loose there jobs.
