Parts for your 2022 Suzuki Splash-Spark plugs

2022 Suzuki Splash Spark Plugs

Based on Suzuki technical literature and recognised parts catalogues, spark plugs are indeed used on petrol-powered Suzuki Splash models. The Suzuki Splash with K10B 1.0-litre (3-cylinder) and K12B 1.2-litre (4-cylinder) petrol engines specifies spark plugs in the Owner’s/Service Manual and in aftermarket application guides from NGK and Denso. Only the 1.3 DDiS diesel variant (Fiat-sourced Multijet) uses glow plugs instead, not spark plugs. So, for any 2022-registered Splash running a petrol engine, spark plugs are relevant and required. Sources referenced: Suzuki Splash Owner’s and Service Manuals (K10B/K12B), Suzuki EPC/parts listings for Splash (XB series), and NGK/Denso application catalogues for Suzuki Splash petrol engines.

On a 2022 Suzuki Splash petrol, spark plugs do the crucial job of igniting the air–fuel mix in each cylinder, giving smooth starts, clean idling, decent fuel economy and that eager throttle feel around town. Over time, plugs wear, gaps widen, and deposits build up, which can lead to hard starts, misfires, rough running and higher fuel use. Keeping them in good nick is a simple, low-cost way to keep the Splash feeling sprightly and efficient.

Service advice is straightforward. For iridium or platinum plugs (commonly specified on late-model Suzukis), replacement is typically around 100,000 km, with inspection during routine servicing. If fitted with standard nickel-copper plugs, expect a shorter interval, often 30,000–40,000 km. Always follow the interval and exact plug specification shown on the under-bonnet label or in the Owner’s Manual. When replacing, use quality plugs to the correct heat range and reach for the engine code (K10B or K12B). Plugs should be installed into a cool engine, threads lightly cleaned, and tightened with a torque wrench to the factory setting. Modern iridium plugs are usually pre-gapped, avoid prying on the fine tip. A dab of dielectric grease inside each coil boot can help future removal and keep moisture at bay.

A couple of quick checks go a long way: if the Splash starts to hesitate on hills, idles lumpily, or the fuel use creeps up, have the plugs inspected. For the 1.0-litre K10B there are three plugs, for the 1.2-litre K12B there are four. If your Splash is the 1.3 DDiS diesel, it won’t use spark plugs at all—glow plugs and their control system handle cold starts instead.

• Use exactly the plug type/heat range specified for K10B/K12B.
• Inspect at regular services, replace at the stated kilometre interval.
• Always torque to spec and keep coil boots clean and dry.

Popular questions about 2022 Suzuki Splash spark plugs

What spark plugs does a 2022 Suzuki Splash use?
It depends on the engine. Petrol K10B (1.0L) and K12B (1.2L) require spark plugs to the exact spec listed by Suzuki (heat range, reach and seat). Iridium plugs are commonly specified. The 1.3 DDiS diesel uses glow plugs instead, so no spark plugs there.

When should the spark plugs be replaced?
For iridium/platinum plugs, many Splash petrols go about 100,000 km before replacement, with inspections during routine servicing. If fitted with conventional plugs, expect roughly 30,000–40,000 km. Always follow the interval in the Owner’s Manual for your engine code.

How many spark plugs are in a Suzuki Splash?
K10B 1.0-litre has three spark plugs (three cylinders). K12B 1.2-litre has four spark plugs (four cylinders). If it’s the 1.3 DDiS diesel, there are no spark plugs—there are four glow plugs instead.
