Would Ford's TDCi (found in Everest / Ranger ) be using Bosch (German, through Volvo which Ford owns)? TDCi is Ford's CRDi counterpart di ba? Yes, Everest and Ranger both use Bosch.

Tapos naka VGT sya? Can you PM me your contact info and shop address? I'm thinking of lining up my auto to your shop for that 3rd opinion =).. I will.

Categorical ba yung statement na (based on your experience) ay Innova D4D has statistically higher probability of relatively earlier failure because it uses Denso compared to others that use Bosch? From experience, I have have seen more failures on the Denso supply pump than Bosch's.

I'll try to get a 2nd opinion on my Innova soon. Based on my backreading of this thread, most (ata) of the symptoms kung supply pump problem is also related to starting... Very often, but not always.

in my case, starting is fine naman.. problem lang talaga is kapag paakyat (although parang better na now that the alternator pulley has been replaced) but kung sa NLEX acceleration, hirap pa rin talaga sya (either that or nag aadjust na rin ako ng driving habits ko )...Best thing to do is have your car tested on a chassis dynamometer, but it can cost you. Test is objective as power is verified against reference specs.
