Parts for your 2014 Suzuki Splash-Fuel pump

2014 Suzuki Splash fuel pump — what it is, where it lives, and how to look after it

Yes, the 2014 Suzuki Splash is fitted with a fuel pump. Technical sources including the Suzuki Splash/Ritz workshop service information for K10B/K12B petrol engines, the Suzuki Electronic Parts Catalogue (EPC), and equivalent Opel/Vauxhall Agila B service data all specify an in-tank, electric fuel pump module on this model. Modern multi-point fuel injection (as described in Bosch automotive technical references) requires a pressurised supply, which the Splash’s in-tank pump provides. So, the fuel pump is absolutely relevant on the 2014 Splash.

On this car, the pump sits inside the fuel tank as part of a sealed module with the level sender, strainer, and pressure control. Its job is simple but vital: consistently deliver the right amount of petrol at the correct pressure to the injectors, so the engine starts promptly, idles smoothly, and pulls cleanly through the revs. If the pump is tired or the strainer is clogged, owners might notice hard starting, hesitation under load, surging, or a loud whine from the tank area.

There’s no routine replacement interval for the Splash’s pump, it’s a “fit-and-forget” component that’s replaced on condition. Using quality 91–95 RON petrol, keeping the tank above the last quarter (which helps keep the pump cool), and avoiding long-term storage on very old fuel all support a long service life. Many pumps last well past 150,000–250,000 km if treated kindly.

If replacement is needed, access is typically through an inspection panel beneath the rear seat base, so the tank often doesn’t need to be dropped. Always depower the system first (battery disconnected and fuel pressure safely relieved), work away from sparks and open flames, and have rags ready for any spillage. When refitting, use a new sealing O-ring, keep the module and tank opening surgically clean, and ensure the lock ring is correctly seated. Because the Splash’s fine fuel filter is integrated into the pump module on most variants, “filter changes” usually mean replacing the whole assembly. A fresh strainer and a quick check of the wiring connector and earth point are smart while you’re in there.

• Common symptoms of a failing pump: long cranking, misfire on hills, flat spots, noisy whirr from the tank, or lean fuel-trim codes.
• Good practice: scan for fault codes, confirm rail pressure with a gauge, and test the pump feed/earth before ordering parts.

Popular questions about the 2014 Suzuki Splash fuel pump

Does the 2014 Suzuki Splash have a fuel pump?
Yes. It uses an in-tank electric fuel pump module to supply the multi-point fuel injection system. This is confirmed in Suzuki Splash/Ritz service information and the Suzuki EPC.

Where is the fuel pump located on a 2014 Splash?
It’s mounted inside the fuel tank under the rear seat area. Most versions have an access panel under the rear seat base, making servicing easier without removing the tank.

Can the fuel filter be replaced separately?
On most 2014 Splash variants, the fine filter is integrated into the pump module, so replacement means fitting a new complete assembly. The in-tank strainer is renewed with the module as well.
