Is Common Rail Technology THAT Good???

[cardo]

Presently medyo mahirap. Pero remember that technology trickles down.

Remember when the first fuel injected cars (Corolla, Sentra ECCS, etc.) were unservicable by the average mechanic? Pero ngayon kahit saan pwede mo na ipaayos.

Same with automatic climate control systems. Ngayon pati climate control ng older BMW 7-series sedans naaayos ni Mang Mario.

question is, how long will that technology trickle down to the normal/generic garage?

In my opinion, I'd rather look at the warranty coverage of the car if you are unsure about where to get it fixed. If the dealer says they'll cover any problem your crdi engine encounters than it would be great. But then, it helps also if there are options out there as well such as other vendors who can fix the crdi engine. yun nga lang as of this time, its limited and there is no proper guage when these more affordable options would get this technology. you can also transfer the responsibility of that risk(crdi problem) say for example, by extending the warranty or including it in your insurance coverage so that you dont have to worry about it. let others worry about your car, tutal thats why you bought insurance and warranties.
