📖Daihatsu Ayla (facelift 2017): the updated 2017-2020 range

Daihatsu Ayla (facelift 2017) (2017-2020)

Introduced in 2017, this mid-cycle update brought sharper styling, improved interior acoustic insulation and, most importantly, the introduction of a larger 1.2-litre engine alongside the revised 1.0-litre unit. Keeping this city hatchback agile and economical requires regular Daihatsu Ayla maintenance, particularly regarding the valvetrain hydraulics and cooling system components that work hard in tropical or congested driving.

The headline addition is the 1.2-litre Dual VVT-i engine (3NR-VE), which provides 88 hp and significantly greater mid-range flexibility than the 1.0-litre 1KR-VE. Both engines employ a timing chain, but the variable valve timing mechanisms require spotless engine oil to avoid solenoid actuator sludge. When paired with the four-speed automatic gearbox, check that shifts remain silky and that kickdown operates without delay or transmission slip.

Owner notes

The reassuring points, known weak spots and deadlines you should not let slip.

Reassuring points

Reliability
  • The 1.2-litre 3NR-VE Dual VVT-i engine delivers noticeable extra punch and refinement on motorway journeys.
  • Enhanced sound deadening and suspension damping over the pre-facelift generation.
  • Robust timing chain layout across both engine choices eliminating periodic cambelt replacement.
  • Affordable routine servicing requirements with excellent parts availability.

Chronic weak spots

Keep an eye on
  • Dual VVT-i oil control valves on Ayla 1.2: dirty or contaminated oil restricts oil passages, triggering variable valve timing faults.
  • Auxiliary drive belt and tensioner: check for squealing on full steering lock or when the air conditioning compressor engages.
  • Front damper top mounts and anti-roll bar drop links: inspect for clunks and knocks over speed bumps and cobbles.
  • Cooling fan motor on facelift models: verify fan operation in heavy traffic to prevent cylinder head gasket overheating.
  • Automatic transmission fluid cleanliness: ensure ATF has not turned dark or burnt, renewing fluid to safeguard internal clutches.

Critical deadlines

Do not miss
  • Engine oil and filter change every 10,000 km or 12 months with quality synthetic 0W-20 or 5W-30 oil.
  • Spark plug renewal every 30,000 km to guarantee efficient combustion and avoid misfires under load.
  • Automatic transmission fluid (ATF) service every 40,000 km or 36 months to preserve hydraulic valve body operation.
  • Engine coolant flush and thermostat check every 40,000 km or 24 months to protect the cooling passages.
