Hold your engine at its designed operating temperature with the AISIN Thermostat THS006, an OE-engineered thermostat assembly built for exact form, fit and function to help maintain cooling-system performance. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for a range of Suzuki models, including the 2002-2007 Suzuki Aerio, 2001-2002 Suzuki Esteem, 2013 Suzuki Grand Vitara, 2013 Suzuki Kizashi, 1996-1998 Suzuki Sidekick, 2007-2009 and 2013 Suzuki SX4, 2012 Suzuki SX4 Crossover, and 1999-2003 Suzuki Vitara across L4-1.8L, L4-2.0L, L4-2.3L and L4-2.4L engines — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
The thermostat regulates coolant flow by staying closed for faster warm-up, then opening at its set temperature to route coolant to the radiator. If a thermostat stuck open (slow warm-up, low temp readings) or stuck closed (overheating) is the cause of your cooling issue, this replaces it. Country of origin: Japan.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What is an engine coolant thermostat and what does it do?
It is a temperature-controlled valve in the cooling system. It stays closed for quicker warm-up, then opens at its set temperature to let coolant circulate to the radiator, helping hold the engine in its optimal range.
At what temperature does the THS006 start to open?
It starts to open at 82°C (179.6°F) to begin coolant flow.
Is a gasket or seal included?
Yes. This thermostat assembly includes a gasket or seal. The sealing flange measures 52.0 mm outside diameter with a 27.0 mm flange height.
Which vehicles does this thermostat fit?
It fits listed Suzuki applications including the Aerio, Esteem, Grand Vitara, Kizashi, Sidekick, SX4, SX4 Crossover and Vitara across L4-1.8L, L4-2.0L, L4-2.3L and L4-2.4L engines. See the Buyer's Guide tab.
What are signs the thermostat may need replacing?
Common signs include overheating, slow warm-up, an engine that never reaches normal temperature, or erratic temperature readings. Diagnose the cause before replacing, as other parts can produce these symptoms.
