Wagon R Not starting

[shahshoaibh]

I have wagon R 2015. Last night my car ran over a brick/stone due to which oil filter got damaged and all the engine oil flow away and i realized after 5 minutes when the car was stopped and did not start either with the self or with pushing manually. What could be the problem? Either the engine is damage or anything else? Note that there is only a click sound while self. Battery health is very good, changed 3 months earlier and is charged

Looks like a seized engine to me, which will be a big effort to repair. In the worst case, an engine swap may be required.

Now learn this lesson. Always check for leaks immediately whenever something is hit underneath.

[nfsmostwanted]

It looks like you seized the engine

Experts may guide better

[shahshoaibh]

Hmmm. I have checked it with a Mechanic and he told me that engine is seized. He try something from the left side under hood beneath the tyre, there is something like shaft and he told me that it is totally jammed, now your engine needed a complete overhaul which is costing arround 30k to 50 with all labor and depending upon the parts what are damage. It is good to have a repair or change the engine with a kabli one? My car millage is around 95k....

@shahshoaibh
Repairing original one will be economical. 95K mileage is not too much.

BTW If you have budget then go for swap with Auto tranny. Toyota Engine can be installed, In which city are you located?

[shahshoaibh]

I am in Karachi. For of now I have gone for a overhaul. Engine has oppened. And thanks to Allah not much things have been damaged. Only parts are jammed that needed service and refitting. 10000 labor and 10-15k of some minor parts. Now it depends how well he will do the fitting...

[shahshoaibh]

I have some question regrading my Engine Overhaul...
Will it perform like earlier?? i.e., like it is giving me average of 12km//ltr on AC and 14-15 without AC. Pickup or jerking or even smoke was not there before!!!
What issues I can face after that???
After overhauling what I will loose???

[abid110]

is it a local WagonR or imported 660cc?

[shahshoaibh]

Local WagonR Pak Suzuki 2015

[arslan.v8]

Depends on who is doing the overhaul, if they're doing it by the book, then expect near new like performance, sadly very few workshops here know how to overhaul to spec.

[shahshoaibh]

Engine overhauling is about to complete. Tomorrow will be doing assembling. My Mechanic advise me to use 20w50 after over hauling and change the oil after 1000km 1st time! Is he saying right??? Earlier I was using 10w40 uptill now.

[muhammad.talha3001]

Stick with 10w40 and use regular oil change interval.

[helper_learner]

You can use 5w 30 or 10w 30. I wont suggest to use 10w40, and will strongly oppose 20w50

[Xulfiqar]

Further sadly

Owners start to cry and weep and have heart pains when they hear cost of repair by the book too.

[ifadey]

Recommended grade for K10 engine is 0w-20. At max you should use 5w-30. Don't go beyond that.

[shahshoaibh]

Engine has over hauled now. Mechanic saying that if you use 10w40, as I am using this till now before the over hauling, engine will started to make noise and may emitt smoke...
It is wagonR vxr 2015. 95000kms of run. Now due to a mistake engine has been overhauled

[shahshoaibh]

Engine has over hauled. Mechanic suggesting that if use 10w40, engine will started to make noise and may emitt smoke...
95000 kms done, now engine overhauled. My car is WagonR 2015 Pakistani. Earlier using 10w40 till now

[nfsmostwanted]

Mechanics NEVER recommend to go for lower viscosity of oil as it may REVEAL their INCOMPETENCE of not doing the job upto par

20-50 oil is always recommended by mechanic supported by many frightening stories told to the owner

[helper_learner]

+1

[brownrose78]

Yes, exactly as @nfsmostwanted wrote most of these incompetent mechanics try to hide their incompetency aka deficiency by recommending 20w50 by thinking that thicker oil will lessen engine noise plus will not leak from seals so will cover their Laziness and so called skills too

@shahshoaibh
Story is not over here, check compression test values. As your engine is new just like zero meter after complete overhaul so you can start with Suzuki Fully Synthetic 5w30 with Suzuki original oil and air filter.
BTW from where in Karachi, you repaired your Engine?
