i'll bet you my pay check that engine gets replaced. my dealer has had upwards of 10 with the same problem.

you could be looking at piston to bore clearance out of specs or you could have rocker shafts worn out ,take it to a qualified suzuki service department .

I have a 2004 verona. Ive had nothing but problems since I got it. It has been knocking for last 6 months. I took it to the suzuki dealer they told me nothing was wrong with it. 2 weeks later we went on vacation and drove to Florida. My car started breaking down 2 hrs before we got there. I found a dealer in Florida they told me they needed to replace the heads. They kept my car for 2 weeks. I had to rent a car to get home and than fly back to florida and drive my car home. Now a week later the check engine light is on again. Last xmas it was in the shop for 2 weeks to replace the coil and spark plugs. Every time I take the car in they tell me its fine. I will never buy another suzuki!!!!!

My 2004 Verona LX bought in 2005 currently has 25,915 miles on it and is the shop getting a new engine! (short block and new head) It won't cost me a dime as I upgraded the warranty to complete bumper to bumper with $0 deductible when I bought it. It started guzzling oil at about 25,000 mi about a quart every 100 mi !! The Suzuki dealer who has it says a Teflon?? cylinder lining is scored and pealing leaving voids that the synthetic oil is oozing through into the upper cylinders. I can't imagine a teflon coating so it must be some other friction reducing compound. Does anyone know what it is? maybe some moly compound. I imagine I'll be keeping mine until the warranty runs out as it has a very low trade-in value (according to the dealer I bought it from!)

Here's the problem. The engine block is aluminum. The cylinders are NOT sleeved. Sound rediculous? Well, that's the '04 Verona. I don't have any info yet on when, or if they started to sleeve these engines...
BTW, These are Korean vehicles. GM-DAT (General Motors-Daewoo Auto & Technology) .
Some say "real Suzuki's are made in Japan"...

none of the veronas 04-06 are sleeved
