Sir Jake "DieselDude", my wife brought our crosswind XUVi 05 A/T at your shop last September due to high fuel consumption. Initial diagnosis by one of your personnel is that our unit is still running fine and only needs replacement of OEM air filter. He mentioned that our consumption of 6km/li on city driving (Galas QC to Don Bosco Mandaluyong in Kalentong around 8.5km back and forth) is just right due to short distance runs and traffik.
Restricted air filter is the main cause for smoke and high fuel consumption. I believe that 8.5km is fine for city driving. What is your FC on highway? Sir We don't often go on long trips... the last time I checked it was 9.7 km/li (QC to Molino Cavite - slight to moderate traffik only)
Our current milage is at 89k and as per previous owner, it has not undergone any calibration of injection pump. Smoke is only visible during start-up in the early morning and after that no-smoke can be seen.
This is normal.
Unit has not experienced overheat and change oil and filter * 5k and OEM air filter * 10k.
Good,
I'm just a bit worried about its fuel consumption coz base on some Isuzu forums, normal FC for such models (A/T) at city driving is at 8 -10 km/li.
Would you recommend for an injection calibration or injection to engine timing? FC is influenced by many factors; driving style, parasitic loads, timing, pump calibration, etc. Timing can be checked on engine. Pump calibration can only be verified on the test stand. So this is up to you. May I ask how much would it cost if I will have my Pump Calibrated to standard specs? Kindly PM me so that I can prepare my budget
By the way I just replaced my TPS sensor / potentiometer due to error detected which caused blinking of my "Check Trans" and it was done by Isuzu Manila after running their diagnostics tool. So far error solved but still my FC is a bit high. They also informed us that they adjusted the TPS for better shifting. Kindly assist me on this...
Thanks in advance sir Jake!!
You're welcome.
