Correct Avant, just trying to pass on some useful info. Also the comment on the Suzuki forum was from me. Regarding type of fuel it's normally from my local Jet garage or Shell.I expect fuel/plugs could be an issue but I do believe it is a general issue with Suzukis, as my local mechanic tells me he has several other customers with the same problem, unfortunately his scanner doesn't see the Suzuki codes hence after discussions with him I got the Autel unit to try. I recently worked with someone who had the same issue and his garage changed the O2 sensor and obviously cleared the code too,so the sensor may not have been the problem.Also the main dealer I got the vehicle from (from new) told me that the problem was not rare and his view was that some parameter was set too fine or a false positive was being registered and not being cleared. My guess is that someone deep in Suzuki (or a supplier) knows what the issue is but as it's not really a major issue more of a minor irritant, Suzuki aren't going to issue a global fix on old vehicles.Anyway, would I buy another Suzuki, yes is the answer, and my friend Jim the Recovery Man who slags off most cars, told his girlfriend to get a Suzuki Swift. Praise indeed!
Final point, on a US site for Suzukis they had a similar issue and the problem there seemed to be oil fouling the O2 sensor, but this would not be the 1.6 petrol engine that's in mine but a bigger unit.
