Parts for your 2022 Suzuki Splash-Drive belt tensioner

2022 Suzuki Splash drive-belt tensioner — does it exist?

Short answer: a drive-belt tensioner isn’t relevant to a 2022 Suzuki Splash because a 2022 Suzuki Splash doesn’t exist. According to Suzuki Motor Corporation model information and European line-up documents, Splash production for Europe ended in 2014 and was effectively replaced by Celerio. Maruti Suzuki’s Indian-market twin (the Ritz) was phased out by 2016–2017 per dealer and service documentation. Suzuki Electronic Parts Catalogue coverage and workshop manuals list Splash/Ritz parts only for those production years, with no 2022 model year entries. So a “2022 Suzuki Splash drive-belt-tensioner” listing doesn’t match an actual vehicle.

For owners in Australia and New Zealand who have a Splash (usually an earlier import) or the India-market Ritz, the auxiliary drive setup is engine-specific. Suzuki service publications for the Splash/Ritz show that some engines use a spring-loaded V‑ribbed belt automatic tensioner, while others tension the belt via alternator adjustment. But that all applies to 2008–2014 Splash (EU) and pre‑2017 Ritz (IN), not a 2022 model.

Why a drive-belt tensioner isn’t used on a “2022” Splash is simple: the model wasn’t built in that year. With no 2022 production, there’s no 2022-specific belt layout or tensioner spec. If someone’s searching parts by “2022”, they’ll get mismatched results. The right way to go is to match parts to the actual build year, VIN and engine code from the vehicle’s identification plate, and then refer to the relevant Suzuki workshop manual or EPC page for that engine’s belt arrangement.

• Have a genuine Splash/Ritz? Check the owner’s or workshop manual for the auxiliary belt diagram and tensioning method.
• Ordering parts? Use the VIN, engine code (e.g., K-series petrol or 1.3 DDiS diesel) and the actual year range (circa 2008–2014 EU Splash, up to 2016–2017 for Ritz).
• Unsure if yours has an automatic tensioner? A spring-loaded idler pulley on the serpentine belt usually means it does, an alternator pivot/lock-bolt setup usually means manual belt adjustment.

Popular questions about a 2022 Suzuki Splash drive-belt-tensioner

Does a 2022 Suzuki Splash exist in Australia or New Zealand?
It doesn’t. The Splash was discontinued years earlier. In Europe, production ended around 2014, and the India-market Ritz wrapped up by 2016–2017. That’s why a 2022-specific drive-belt tensioner listing won’t be applicable.

Which Splash engines actually use an automatic drive-belt tensioner?
On genuine Splash/Ritz models (pre‑2017), Suzuki service manuals show many 1.2‑litre petrol and 1.3‑litre diesel variants running a spring-loaded serpentine-belt tensioner, while some smaller petrol variants rely on alternator-adjusted tension. Always confirm by VIN and engine code.

What should an owner search for instead of “2022 Splash tensioner”?
Search by the actual build year and engine code, or by VIN in the Suzuki Electronic Parts Catalogue. That ensures the correct tensioner (if fitted) or the right belt/alternator-adjuster parts for the specific Splash/Ritz.
