  • Fuel Pump and High-Pressure Fuel Pipe Replacement: The fuel pump and high-pressure fuel pipe may need to be replaced in the Suzuki Esteem, especially in older models. This issue can lead to problems with the car's fuel system and may require professional assistance to resolve.

  • Head Repair and Engine Rebuild: In some cases, the head of the Suzuki Esteem may require repair or replacement, which can be a significant expense. Additionally, the crankshaft may need to be rebuilt, which can also be a costly repair.
  • Apron Replacement: The apron of the Suzuki Esteem is prone to giving way, which can lead to engine damage if not addressed promptly. This issue may require replacement of the apron, which can be a significant expense.
  • Weather Strips and Panel Issues: The weather strips around the windows and other panels of the Suzuki Esteem may cause issues, leading to potential leaks and other problems. These issues may require removal and replacement of the affected weather strips and panels.
