Yeah it’s same set of things that stopped working in my car and it’s the same motor also. May be I will check with shop where you got it repaired. Thanks.

The S-Cross was based on the SX4 Platform. Now that both models have been discontinued is the platform still in use?

[Hammer & Anvil]

2018 S Cross, 1.3L Diesel, 68000 km. Mumbai based.
Thermostat failed on the highway and by the time we could pull over the car heated and i seem to have blown my piston rings.
The car is consuming oil and blowing smoke on acceleration, at idle ie behaves like a puppy.
My mechanic suggests I sell the car, but i think i should get a fair idea of the engine rebuild. If anyone has done this before or can tell me about this- what this entails and the effort, reward and risk that go with it, I would be obliged.

Any non-normal behaviour noticed in recent past ?

[Hammer & Anvil]

The fault has been raced to a turbo buring oil up. Could rdrive the car about 100km without any drop in oil level but the min you punched up the throttle and the turbo comes online, you get a nice cloud of brown dusty smoke out of the exhaust.
The only 'symptom' seen was the average that was consistently in the 18.5-19.5 kmpl range, has dropped to 13.7-14Kmpl.

Any idea on repair, turbo costs, labour.... salvage parts stores?

My enigne is a D13A, the same that goes into an Ertiga.

TIA.

OK, as far as I remember, the 2018 has the updated thermostat assembly, when you say failure of thermostat, there are two potential failures, one is the assembly failure and coolant pours out of the failed hose connection. The second one is the actual failure of the the thermostat valve itself. Usually, the thermostat valves are designed to fail open, so the coolant will flow, but the car will take longer to warm itself.

Which of these failure did you get? Was there a engine hot light ''ON" in the dash? How long did you drive with that light on?

Secondly, you are talking about turbo consuming oil. This is a more possible scenario. The turbo seals may have gone bad. Unfortunately, turbo repair is not so common and folks usually push for replacement as it is more money and easier to do than a repair. If your routine has turbo getting spooled up before the oil getting warm, then it may have more chance of failure.

Thirdly, your oil has to go somewhere. If it is going via the turbo to the inlet side, and then getting burned, you also need to clean the egr and the inlet manifold, intercooler as all of these components especially, the intercooler will be filled with oil. If the oil is getting burned via the piston rings , the blowby would be extreme. You can check blowby using any of the tutorials in youtube. If the consumption is as you say it is for the fault of piston rings, then expect a huge amount of blowby. Remember, small amount of blowby is ok. Check on a good running engine if in doubt.

Cheaper one is based on winding core and the other one is a magnetic core (this cannot be repaired).

Sx4 diesel's fan motor did not match, but thanks to @researcher found that the pajero sfx is a direct fit but needs a wire cut. Found the part with Parts drive india https://www.instagram.com/partsdriveindia/?hl=en

Surprised to see the part for Pajero is still available but not for a low volume Suzuki.
BTW, going by the snap the motor rotation direction is either reversed or the sticker is stuck upside down.

Suzuki part is available on order, takes 7 days but costs INR 18k+, whereas Pajero one I got at INR 3400.

Yeah the sticker installed is upside down.
