Well the sad story doesnt end here,another cousin of mine also had the same problems next day with his vdi after getting his 10k kms service.I have been seriously dissapointed with the Maruti Service and I have doubts about their handling of diesel engines from now.
Guys please help if I can get my cousins car serviced elsewhere.
The service guys surprisingly didnt know how to use the tech2 and to what all information it shows or what are the stock readings of boost pressure etc.

A definite case of Turbo failure, no doubt. And there are many such cases in Bangalore also.

And about M.A.S.S not able to troubleshoot, Maruti's were never good with diesel engines, they've always borrowed from other manufacturers.

Maybe they need to get trained by Fiat

Between all the cars that use the FIAT engine; the Ritz, Swift and Dzire use the cheapest turbo unit and that too in the highest state of tune. The cost of the new turbo is about half or 3/5 that what it costs in other cars using the same engine. Do note I am not talking about VGT turbo's here but the normal FGT units found in other cars like the Palio, Punto and the Vista. Make sure your replacement is not some cheap Chinese make which more often than not is palmed off to Maruti owners. Cost cutting effects (due to Maruti's make it cheap policy) is what your Fiat engine has succumbed to.

Please have the MASS check the ECU. I had the same issue- loss of power, smoke etc. ECU was replaced under warranty, and it solved the issue.

Ripper changed his turbo in his Swift but this time he got a propah turbo from Peter for about Rs53000( he got it free though) and that unit is working fine in his hyper tuned FIAT engine. The turbo used in the FIAT engine for the Vista, Dezire and the Punto/Linea is about Rs23000

Now I am really confused about the turbos used in these cars. Are they all having same turbo? Maruti uses a different turbo than TATA/Fiat? Are turbos used in Marutis lower in quality? Someone please clear the air.

So what's the update ? Did you go to the place i suggested ?

If I am correct, the newer Maruti diesels comes with a Chinese make turbo which is of around 15k in cost. Where as fiats are using costlier turbos for their Puntos. Don't know the story of Vista. Someone correct me if I am wrong. Any Vista owners please confirm with T.A.S.S. In most cases, over filling engine oil will be the root cause behind a premature turbo failure. I can't understand how the customer can be questioned for over revving the engine. If their engine is not supposed to be revved up to that point, it should have been handled by the E.C.U itself by limiting the rpm, and I do believe newer generation diesel ECUs does this without failure. These A.S.S guys turns out pretty crazy sometimes on their arguments.

yes the bill of turbo replacement was around 13 thousand only.And these swift turbos are damn cheap and damn poor in quality.

13k? Now I can be a bit relieved on the worries of turbo failures. Will try more flooring from now
