Engine Finders connects UK drivers with vetted specialists for reliable, reconditioned Suzuki Palette replacement engines. From the K6A 658cc turbocharged unit in early PA models to the K10B 1.0L 3-cylinder found across later variants, we address series-wide issues like K6A turbo wastegate sticking (Suzuki TSB MR-22-07) and K10B timing chain tensioner wear affecting all MR/MH chassis generations.
We replace the failure-prone OEM wastegate actuator (Suzuki part 17310-87J00) across all K6A-powered PA models using TSB MR-22-07-compliant kits, eliminating boost hesitation common in 2008-2013 Palette variants.
All K10B engines (2013-2018 Palette MR/MH) share the weak hydraulic tensioner (part 11370-85J10) prone to collapse after 70k miles - our rebuilds include reinforced OEM-spec units with updated guide rails.
Every Palette engine swap requires chassis-specific ECU mapping (MR vs MH). We ensure your replacement includes correct calibration files for Suzuki part 35310-87J20, avoiding limp-mode or immobiliser mismatches.
Both K6A and K10B engines use the same oil pickup design (part 15140-85J00). We clean or replace it during all rebuilds to prevent low-oil-pressure failures common across the entire Palette range.
All MR/MH Palette variants use identical engine mounts (left: 11400-87J00, right: 11410-87J00). We verify mount condition on every used unit to guarantee bolt-in fitment across base PA to PA Turbo models.
K6A turbo units (IHI VF36 core, part 17200-87J00) suffer bearing wear across all early Palette models. Our reconditioned engines include fully rebuilt turbos with balanced shafts and updated oil seals.
The K10B’s plastic coolant flange (part 17810-85J00) cracks with age on all post-2013 Palette variants. We replace it with reinforced OEM+ units during every engine reconditioning.
From the original PA’s 54hp K6A to the 68hp PA Turbo and later K10B 1.0L units, we source, test, and certify every engine family used across the entire Suzuki Palette production run (2008-2018).
Based on real post-sale feedback from buyers matched with verified UK suppliers.
Engine Finders connects UK drivers with specialists for reliable, reconditioned Suzuki Palette replacement engines. Whether battling K6A turbo wastegate failures across MR91S/MR92S models or oil consumption in early naturally aspirated units, we provide direct OEM-spec solutions.
The Suzuki Palette (2008-2013) was built exclusively on the MR platform (MR91S, MR92S), sharing its underpinnings with the Nissan Roox and utilising the K-series engine family. All variants - naturally aspirated and turbocharged - use the 658cc K6A three-cylinder engine, with turbo models (MR92S) prone to wastegate sticking and oil dilution from frequent short trips. Suzuki Service Bulletin PA-2010-07 identified excessive piston ring land wear in pre-2011 units across *all* Palette trims, leading to elevated oil consumption regardless of engine code or drivetrain configuration.
All Palette models use variants of the K6A engine, with compatibility spanning the entire MR91S/MR92S range:
All K6A units share identical block castings (part 11100-87J00), cylinder head (11161-87J00), and timing chain assembly - making reconditioned components universally compatible across Palette variants.
Due to the Palette’s shared K6A architecture, engine type selection must address series-wide failure modes:
All units undergo compression and leak-down testing to Suzuki ISTA+ G01 standards - ensuring compatibility regardless of MR91S/MR92S trim.
Our in-stock Palette engines include comprehensive upgrades targeting known K6A weaknesses:
Every engine is bench-tested for 90+ minutes: idle stability, boost response (turbo models), oil pressure at 3,000 RPM, and emissions compliance - verified across the full Palette range.
All Palette replacement engines include a 12-month, unlimited-mileage warranty covering mechanical failure of core components.

When your engine fails, Suzuki Palette engine works can restore performance at a fraction of the cost of a brand-new engine. From diagnostics to rebuild, here's how experts ensure optimal results.
1. Pre-Diagnostic Hybrid Scan (R06A HEV/R06D only): We run Suzuki SDS2 diagnostics to validate MGU sync and ISG calibration before disassembly - critical for MR51S hybrids where CAN bus errors mimic mechanical faults. Includes verification of 100V battery SOC and inverter coolant pH (target: 7.2-7.8).
2. Block & Head Restoration (MR41S/MR52S): Cylinder honing to plateau finish (Rz 3.2µm) with torque plate simulation. Head resurfaced to ≤0.05mm warp spec; MLS gasket (Suzuki 11127581326 equivalent) torqued in 3-stage sequence: 25Nm → 90° → 90°. K6A/R06A heads receive port polishing to offset kei-class intake restriction.
3. Critical Component Upgrades (All Palette engines): Timing chain tensioners replaced with updated OEM-spec parts (K6A: 13170-87A00; R06A: 13505-87J00 per TSB MR-12-007). Turbo wastegates (K6A/R06A) rebuilt with stainless-steel diaphragms. K12M CNG units get Viton valve stem seals (13271-87B10) resistant to methane degradation.
4. Hybrid-Specific Calibration (R06A HEV/R06D): Post-assembly, MGU/ISG motor alignment verified with laser jig (Suzuki tool 09941-38012). Hybrid ECU re-flashed to latest calibration (e.g., MR51S HEV: version 23.11.07). Belt tension set to 85Hz using Gates Micro-V tester - deviation >5Hz causes premature idler failure.
5. Bench Testing Protocol (Palette-specific load curves): Engines run 45 mins on dyno simulating Palette urban cycle: 50% idle, 30% 1,500rpm, 20% 3,200rpm. Oil pressure monitored at 1,200rpm (min 1.8 bar) and 3,000rpm (max 4.2 bar). R06A HEV units undergo EV-mode transition test (engine-off coasting → restart within 0.8s).
6. Final Validation & Documentation (UK compliance): Compression test (min 12.5:1, max 0.5 bar variance between cylinders), leak-down (<8% at TDC), and emissions check (idle CO <0.3%). Full report includes torque specs, part numbers, and hybrid calibrations. All rebuilt engines registered with Suzuki UK’s Engine Rebuild Database for warranty traceability.
