Fuel pump and high-pressure pump Suzuki: problems by model and engine

Documented faults, from most to least important

Severity × frequency. Below each one, the Suzuki models it appears in.

- High severityFrequency: Occasional1.3 MultijetInjector and high-pressure pump wear from contaminated fuelThe Bosch injectors and the high-pressure pump of the common rail system are sensitive to poor-quality fuel or fuel with condensed water. With contaminated diesel they can generate metal shavings that damage first the pump and then the injectors themselves.Repair (garage): €600–€1,200
In Splash, Swift III and Swift IV
- Medium severityFrequency: Occasional1.5 K15B (Jimny)Fuel pump with resin impeller that swells (recall)Jimnys from 2018 to 2020 were recalled because the resin impeller of the fuel pump could swell and deform. It is a precautionary recall, and the German source itself says the problem was mostly corrected.
In Jimny IV
- Low severityFrequency: Rare1.0 and 1.4 BoosterjetDirect injection and fuel pump: no documented faults or recallsWe have not found any recall or pattern of failures of the high-pressure pump or injectors on the 1.0 or the 1.4 Boosterjet, unlike other small direct-injection turbo engines from other manufacturers.
