CRDi Maintenance Questions & Other Discussions [Thread]

[cocoy]

so if you take a CRDI unit for an emissions test. then it should record 0 for the emissions test then right? that is if the current testing system is used right?

[Dieseldude]

HI Cocoy,

The smoke test equipment will display your actual opacity level.

As an example, if the passing level is at 1.9 for turbocharged engines, and your reading is 0.1, it just means that your vehicle has passed the test. Any reading less than 1.9 would be considered as passing.

Bye,

Sana nga maganda mga CRDI pag tumagal...

Kasi yung mga dating diesel pag after 10 years parang pangit na takbo....

Never pa kami bumili ng diesel na sasakyan

I beg to disagree. I have a 1995 Safari with a 4.2 liter 6 cylinder engine with 160,000+ kms on its odometer. It stills runs fine to this day 12 yrs. It only had nozzle replacement from the previous owner and regular oil change every 5,000 km.

we recently acquired kia sportage 4x4 2.0 CRDi last Dec 22, 2007. 520 KM pa lang ang odo nya. we're located in naga city, camarines sur and we're planning to go to baguio city this coming march using our new ride. my question is, will that new CRDi engines will able to endure such long ride?

[niky]

Yes. Just put a full tank in beforehand, and try to avoid filling up at small or questionable gas stations along the way.

aw kayang kaya an padi! basta luway luway sana ta nasa break-in period ka pa. hehehe!

[drey]

Break-in mo muna sir bago kayo akyat ng Baguio...

Is it true that diesel engines consume lesser fuel during idling vs petrol?

Kaya yan sir, pero maganda nga yung suggestion na i-break-in muna yung ride bago iakyat sa Baguio. Also, if your ride has a turbocharger, observe the proper cooldown procedures before shutting off the engine.

We frequently have roundtrip journeys from Pangasinan to Quezon City and back in our 2006 CRDI Starex. Minsan ang pahinga lang ng makina ay pag natigil kami sa gasolinahan para mag-CR. Nakaka-75,000 km na yung van namin, wala pang problema.

Yun nga lang, may kamahalan ang mga major PMS intervals ng CRDI vehicles. Halimbawa, para sa 80,000-km PMS ng Starex, ang quote sa akin ng Hyundai Dagupan ay 15,000 pesos (change oil, oil filter, fuel filter, drive belt, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, air cleaner element, engine coolant at iba pa).

sir mukhang ang mahal naman nyang 80k PMS mo. tanong din po kayo sa ibang casa sir.

[drey]

Ganun din sa Honda... Mahal ata 40K PMS...

guys i have a fortuner 3.0 d-4d medyo may lumalabas na na white smoke minsan malakas.medyo nawawala sya pag umandar na. pero khit warm na yung engine pag start ko usok nanaman.pero white smoke naman. disapointed lang talaga ako sa crdi.. sana gasoline engine nalang nakuha ko..di worth it ang 1.660M saka euro 2 lang ata ang fort kc walang catalytic converter.kaasar talaga....

[numbah5]

there's nothing wrong with CRDi engines, it's just that Toyota's D4-D is the problematic CRDi here in the philippines. sir may i suggest that try to change the gas station you are filling up with. baka may halo yung diesel fuel na pinapalagay niyo po. kasi yung fort ko, 2.5 D4-D since after namin papalitan yung supply pump and changed to petron, hindi na uli bumalik yung defect.

* dieseldude,
have you already researched about the forthcoming Ford Expedition 4.4 V8 TDCi? what is the CR sytem used by this engine? heard that it is based on the TDV8 engine of the Range Rover

Hindi normal yan. Pa-check mo sa Toyota dealer mo. Free of charge dapat yan kung under warranty pa.

disapointed lang talaga ako sa crdi.. sana gasoline engine nalang nakuha ko..di worth it ang 1.660M saka euro 2 lang ata ang fort kc walang catalytic converter.kaasar talaga.... Kausapin mo ang service manager ng Toyota dealer mo. Tell him that you're not happy with your Fort's performance. He should help you out.

I haven't heard of this Ford model. Is this a US version, or will it be locally released here?

[eddiebauer]

a ford expedition 4.4 v8 common-rail? hmmm... nice

[torpydoo]

according to manual.. no need to break-in na daw ang sportage, kasi factory break-in na daw ang sasakyan. and walang break-in procedures dun sa manual.

aw kayang kaya an padi! basta luway luway sana ta nasa break-in period ka pa. hehehe!

there's no break-in procedures in the vehicle manual. it clearly says that there's no need for vehicle break-in.

TDV8 of RRover Sports is 32valves, which has LR's patented turbo oil-scavenging system, piezo injectors, a special intake port deactivation process for cleaner combustion. Its specs include 268hp at 4000 and 472 ld-ft of torque at 2000rpm, 17.3:1 comp. ratio and a bore and stroke of 3.19x3.46inch.

Its possible that CR will be Bosch or Siemens/VDO since they are using piezo injectors and European built. But i could be wrong because....

The Land Rover defender sports a a new 2.4l common rail four cylinder diesel engine based on Ford.It produces 121 ponies at 3500rpm and 265lb-ft at 2000rpm. An alloy 16 valve c. head and DENZO common rail FI with 17.5:1 comp ratio, 3.54x3.72 bore and stroke.
