have recently purchased Suzuki Swift DDIS which comes with a 1.3L Multijet DDIS (TDI) engine from Fiat (European Engine of the Year - 2005). It has a Max Torque of 190 NM @ 2000 RPM and Max HP of 75 @ 4000. The red area on the Tacometer starts @ 5000 RPM. It has 5 speed manual gearbox. My questions -
1. First engine oil change is due @ 1000 KM (600 Miles approx) as per manufacturers recommendation. I am currently at 600 KM (375 miles) and on inspection of the engine oil I found that it is black. Should I change the oil rightaway?
2. How do I make out at what RPM turbo kicks in?
3. I had not visited this site for first 15 days and I have run the vehical at RPM of 1500 to 2000 from last 2-3 days I have raised the RPM to 2500 and plan to take it to 3000 in a few days. Upto what RPM do I need to take the engine to have a good break-in?
4. Please share Dos and Don'ts and experiences on Suzuki DDIS.
Thanks in advance for all the suggestions /advice.
