2004 Suzuki Verona Service and Repair Manual

Unusually for a front-drive midsize sedan, the 2004 Verona used a transversely mounted inline-six: a 2.5-liter DOHC engine of about 155 horsepower, paired with a four-speed automatic. Built by GM Daewoo and sold elsewhere as the Daewoo Magnus, it came in S, LX and EX trim. That compact six-cylinder layout makes engine work unlike most rivals, so model-specific data matters. This service and repair manual covers the first-year Verona with procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams, diagnostics and maintenance schedules.
