Introduction

This article is in the early process in the making! It should receive significant expansion in the near future.

Suzuki used to produce a factory diesel edition of Jimny, primarily for the market of Western Europe (excluding United Kingdom).

The model name for diesel Jimny edition is JB53. Its technical model name is SN415.

The marketing name for diesel Jimnys is "DDiS".

DDiS Jimnys were most popular in Portugal, Spain, Italy and France. A rough estimation is that almost every second Jimny in those countries, which was sold in the period 2003-2011, was DDiS.

DDiS Jimnys also had minor to moderate presence in other European countries. Notable examples are Belgium, Germany and Austria. A rough estimation is that two in every ten sold Jimnys in those countries, in the period 2003-2011, were DDiS.

Note: DDiS Jimnys have never been available in United Kingdom.

Since DDiS Jimnys were produced "only" between 2003 and 2011, while petrol Jimnys are in production since 1998 and still ongoing in 2017, DDiS Jimnys are relatively rare even in Europe.

Therefore, a potential Jimny buyer would normally be concerned what parts for the relatively rare DDiS Jimnys are specific to them, and how difficult is it to obtain those parts. Also, their concern is about servicing the diesel engine and other DDiS specifics.

Existing DDiS Jimny owners are struggling to find technical or service information about DDiS Jimnys, because there is hardly anything written about DDiS Jimnys in English language on the Internet.

The purpose of this article is to state all specifics about DDiS Jimnys which are not common with the ubiquitous petrol Jimny editions.

To be continued soon ! ...
