Shifted just before 4000 RPM and hit 100 KMPH in 3rd gear.

That's fabulous ! But it could only be feasible due to launch RPM @2500, besides 3rd gear would almost scramble the car

What was gear sequence for this ? I mean 1-2-3 or 2-3?
Also the road chosen for the test is perfect!

I did multiple runs and found this method the best one for 0-100 run in 1.6 S-Cross.

1. Launch at 2500 RPM in 1st gear
2. Shift just before 4000 RPM
3. Hit 100Kph in 3 rd gear

I tried hitting 100 in 4 th gear too but I was around a second slower.

Launching above 2500 RPM caused lots of wheelspin which resulted in a relatively slower timing.

Out of curiosity just want to know. Did the car emit a lot of black smoke when you pushed it hard? Or did it behave like a true sports car?

I always keep an eye on ORVM to check smoke. I have not noticed black smoke even under hard acceleration. But I have seen one 1.6 S-Cross which was smoking with aggressive driving on ghats which is normal for diesel cars. Continuous black smoke is an issue and only a puff of smoke with WOT is normal.

I have Scross 1.6 too which used to leave lots of black smoke whenever i used to push it bit hard or sometimes in normal conditions too.got my car serviced yesterday.they took nearly 3 days to solve the issue as service center guys took more than 2 days just to identify the issue according to them My 1.6's air filter had lots of dust which resulted in oil sucked into intercooler. So they cleaned the intercooler hoses along with EGR Valve and all the piping associated with it. I havent seen black smoke in last 2 days though tomorrow i am leaving for my native which will give me the opportunity to push the car to max limit fingers crossed this time.hope issue is solved this time.
Also they charged me for Air filter which costs 810 rs.mind you my car have clocked just 8k Km so bit shocked to see air filter gave up so early.seems like my car came with faulty air filter

Good to know that you are happy finally. I had read about your posts regarding black smoke. What Maruti guys told is true. When air filter is clogged, engine won't get enough air and fuel would be rich resulting in black smoke. Also it's easy to remove air filter on your own. I suggest you to clean it yourself every 5K KM.

Naren,

Is it "India Mahle" or "Made in India" ? There's a difference.

To my knowledge, air filter of all 1.6DDIS have been imported from Europe. 70% from Germany. Rest from France, Hungary etc.

Naren,

I Echo your post, my Sx4 (D) was giving a lot of smoke on sudden acceleration. Day before I changed the Air filter (5,000 Kms interval) and the smoke has reduced to half. I normally change the air-filters after 5k kms. For Indian conditions, I believe 10k kms is fairly long interval.

It was written as Mahle and Made in India. Maruti might have imported air filters before and would push it for service replacements. Localised one (Mahle) is used for current production batch.

Thanks, then its clear, you have got a Mahle (Made in India) filter.

However, its surprising they have localized for such small quantity.

I was wrong. I rechecked just now. I had not removed the air filter out and had only glanced by removing the cover before.It's written as "India Mahle". Looking at the word India, I thought it's localised. Kindly confirm!!

Now you are right.

All air filters of 1.6 are imported from Europe.

I just did a Google search as "India Mahle" and was indeed directed to an automotive air filter manufacturing company, but it's an India based company. So maybe the filter is being manufactured in India. Here's a link to the company website. http://www.mahlefiltersystemsindia.c...cts/index.aspx





Mods, please change the emoji of Off Topic. I just hate this frowning face.

Mahle is a German automotive parts manufacturer.
It has 170 production units across the globe. There is one in India as well.

But, S-cross 1.6 air filter is not made in India.

I agree with Kpzen Sir.

The part number found on the air filter picture posted by Dr. Naren it reads 13780-62M00

This number isn't for an Indian manufactured or Maruti Suzuki specific part. Reason is parts that are labeled by Maruti Suzuki would be having an 'M' in between like below:

13780M62M00

I may be wrong too but that's what I have observed.

Please find the picture of the air filter on my Swift ZDi (Mahle manufactured but Indian Maruti specific)



PS: Part number had that 'M' in between.
