Q & A

What is the most common issue with the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz's radiator fan motor?

The radiator fan motor tends to fail after around 50,000-60,000 kilometers, which causes the fan to stop working and leads to heating problems in the engine.

At what mileage does the EGR valve in the Ciaz typically clog, and what impact does it have?

The EGR valve usually clogs around 80,000-90,000 kilometers. This can lead to a drop in engine performance, including power loss and decreased efficiency.

How can you identify issues with the Ciaz’s air mass sensor?

If the air mass sensor malfunctions, you may experience a noticeable drop in pickup or acceleration. It's important to check the sensor if you're facing sluggish engine performance.

Why is the hybrid battery in the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz an important component to check when buying a second-hand car?

The hybrid battery is large and expensive. If purchasing a second-hand Ciaz, you should ensure that the battery is in good condition to avoid costly replacements.

What are the common suspension issues found in the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz?

Common suspension issues include quick wear and tear of parts like balance rods, tie rods, and lower arms. This can result in instability and discomfort while driving.

What should Ciaz owners do if they notice their headlights becoming dim or yellow?

If the headlights, especially the projector lights, turn yellow and dim after 100,000 kilometers, consider replacing the headlight assembly or upgrading to HID/LED lights for better visibility.

How do glow plugs affect the starting performance of the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz?

If the glow plugs fail, the car may have trouble starting, especially in cold weather. This issue is common in the 1.3 Diesel engine and should be addressed if the car starts slowly.

What should be done if the clutch in the Ciaz becomes hard to press?

If the clutch becomes hard over time, it may be time to replace the clutch set. Ciaz's clutch tends to stiffen as it ages, and ignoring this could lead to more severe damage.

What is the recommended solution for the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz’s interior fabric peeling off?

To prevent the interior fabric from peeling off, consider applying leather wraps instead. Leather is more durable and will last longer than the fabric, which tends to degrade over time.

What is the issue with the Ciaz’s keyless entry button, and how can it be fixed?

The keyless entry button can stop working after some time, requiring multiple presses to activate. This is a common issue, and it may need to be repaired or replaced if it persists.
