Parts for your 2020 Suzuki Splash-Pedal pads

2020 Suzuki Splash Pedal Pads — Fitment, Purpose and Servicing Advice

Based on Suzuki factory service information and the Suzuki electronic parts catalogue for the Splash/Opel Agila B platform (produced globally roughly 2008–2014), the model uses rubber pedal pads on the brake pedal, and on the clutch pedal for manual transmissions. The accelerator is typically a moulded plastic/metal assembly without a separate rubber pad. While there wasn’t a new-production “2020” Splash in most markets, the component fitment is the same for late-registered or continued-use vehicles. So, pedal pads are indeed relevant and used on a 2020-registered Suzuki Splash.

On the Splash, pedal pads are the grippy rubber covers that sit over the metal brake and (if manual) clutch pedals. Their job is simple but critical: give the driver firm, non-slip footing in all conditions, especially in the wet or when shoes are sandy after a beach run. Good pads reduce the chance of a foot slipping mid-brake, which is why worn or missing pads can lead to a WOF/roadworthy knockback in NZ or Australia.

As part of regular servicing, it’s worth checking the pedal pads every 10,000–15,000 km or at each service. They’re inexpensive and easy to replace. If the Splash is an auto, there’ll be a single brake pedal pad to inspect, manuals have both brake and clutch pads. The accelerator usually doesn’t have a removable pad, so just confirm its surface is intact and not polished smooth.

• Replace pedal pads if the rubber is shiny/slick, cracked or going hard.
• Look for edges curling up or the pad moving on the metal pedal.
• Confirm the ribs or texture are still well-defined and grippy.

Replacement is quick: ease off the old pad with a flat screwdriver, clean the pedal plate of grit and light rust, then warm the new pad slightly (sunlight or warm water) and stretch it over the pedal from the bottom edge first. Make sure it seats fully into the lip all the way around so it can’t pop off underfoot. Quality aftermarket or genuine pads both work fine, just match transmission type and model. Choosing parts that meet local standards and have proper tread depth on the face helps maintain grip over time.

For drivers who do lots of city stop-start or coastal driving, consider inspecting more often. A fresh set of pedal pads is cheap insurance for safe braking, tidy for the cabin, and one less worry at rego or WOF time.

Popular questions about 2020 Suzuki Splash pedal pads

Do all 2020-registered Suzuki Splash cars have pedal pads?

Yes. Splash models use a rubber pad on the brake pedal, and on the clutch pedal for manuals. The accelerator is usually an integrated pedal without a separate pad. Even though the Splash wasn’t newly built in 2020 in most markets, late-registered cars still use the same pedals and pads.

How often should pedal pads be replaced on a Splash?

There’s no fixed kilometre limit. Replace them when they go smooth, crack, harden or feel loose. For most drivers that’s every few years, but if shoes are often wet, sandy or muddy, they may need changing sooner.

Will worn pedal pads fail a WOF or roadworthy?

They can. If a pad is missing, insecure or so worn it’s slippery, an inspector may fail the vehicle. Fresh pads restore grip and help keep the car compliant.
