Laging sinasabi na "hard and expensive" to maintain a diesel engine, bakit po?

2) ipalinis nyo lang muna yung burn/heat plugs nyo (conterpart ng spark plugs sa gas fed engine)..in time nagkakaroon din ito ng mga waste/deposits at corrosions.(mekaniko kailangan nyo dito)

paano pag service ang gagawin sa glow plugs ..

steel brush ba ???

yung ginawa namin noon..kasama yung mekanik..binabad lang namin sa gas yung mga glow plugs then liha ng #1000 fine grade yung mga tip..these was at least for the elf truck..di ko lang alam kung ganun din sa ibang makina..lalo na sa mga SUV's..pero basically pareho lang lahat nagkakaiba lang sa mga modelo dahil yung mga bago may mga computer box pa

hope it's not OT: sir, tuwing kelan ba dapat palinis ng injectors? my ride's a 95 safari. thanks

kapag po ang usok ay maitim na at makapal na po ang pagkaitim sir...dapt na po palitan ng injectors...kapag ang injectors mo ay ayos pa naman ang buga pero sunog na un po ang tinatawag na pwede pang irecon.....

[mpt_calibration]

pahabol pa..aside from sir oteps response(which I 100% agree) kung mausok na diesel engine mo..wag yung injection pump ang sisihin agad ito muna unahin nyo:
1) check kung marumi air filter at yung hose na humahawak sa air filter housing(baka luma na at malambot na ito, kaya nag co collapse yung hose nyo hence humhina hatak ng makina at mausok..(basic)
2) ipalinis nyo lang muna yung burn/heat plugs nyo (conterpart ng spark plugs sa gas fed engine)..in time nagkakaroon din ito ng mga waste/deposits at corrosions.(mekaniko kailangan nyo dito)
3) ipa check nyo engine compression..minsan di nyo namamalayan na overheat na pala kayo kaso takbo pa rin at ang tinatamaan dito ay yung cyclinder head. maswerte na kayo kung repaste lang ng cylinder head ang ipapagawa kaysa sa replacement ng buo at siguradong butas ang bulsa nyo dito (ito naman ay kung paulit ulit kayong na o overheat)
4) kung sadyang mausaok na nga..ipa check nyo na sa calibration center at baka pinasukan ng tubig yung fuel tank nyo o kaya ay may halong tubig yung diesel na pinakarga nyo at corroded na yung mga needles sa loob ng injection pump..minsan kasi yung akala mong murang diesel e may halo palang tubig kaya mapapamura ka sa gagawin nito sa sasakayan mo :p
...at kung pagpipilian nyo ako kung alin sa diesel o gas na makina, sa diesel na ako..hehe..di ka basta ititirik nito sa baha(wag lang pasukin ng tubig yung air filter mo..at pag nangyari ito..paktay..katok ang makina mo 100%) o sa akyatan kahit na ba kargado ka..pagtyagaan mo nga lang ng konti yung noise level at sadyang mas maingay ang diesel

depende po yan kung talaga mausok po ang sasakyan nyo tpos ung tambutso pinabugahan nyo na ung mga filter napalitan nyo na rin tpos napalitan nyo na rin pero ganun pa rin kailangan na po talaga palitan ng nozzle tip po yon kasi po di po mtatangal ung usok nun...ung injenction pump po kasi sa hatak po ng sasakyan at ung takbo po ng diesel sir

I owned 2 6 wheeled trucks hauling sugar cane sa farm namin
isang truck namin hindi nakapasa sa emission test kasi mausok daw... ang ginawa nung driver nang truck namin ay pinalinisan nya yung muffler kasi maraming deposied dirt na. after nga pinalinisan, ayon naka pasa na
hehehe

Mga sir, just want to share my 2 cents worth on the topic.

It all boils down to how you maintain your ride and what you put in to maintain your ride. I agree with the gentlemen who made the earlier posts that those who said that diesel engines are hard and expensive to maintain are those who dont know a crap about whats under the hood and what a wrench is

I own a 97 hilander SL and have practically driven the entire length of northern luzon with it. I've had my fair share of parts replacements done(alternator, bushings, ball joints, etc) and I'm glad that majority of these were due to wear and tear. I've also replaced parts due to neglect but at least I learned a lesson from those experiences.

About what I mentioned about "what you put in to maintain your ride", that would refer to the oils, filters, battery and the like. While it is true that you must change the oil every 5T km, the brand I use is good for 20T km (this was according to another vehicle forum with diesel engine oil as its topic. Sorry gentlemen, I dont remember the forum site. I read this sometime 3 years ago). Its very pricey though but I find it a good investment because of the savings I get for maintenance. This is because I believe that the life of a diesel engine would depend on the oil it uses.

Sirs, I would like to stress that the previous paragraph is not a teaser or promotion of a product. In keeping with the rules of ethics, I intentionally did not make mention of the brand name. What was explained there was my experience in negating the topic that our beloved diesel engines are hard and expensive to maintain.

PEACE TO ALL !!!

mas madali i maintain ang diesel. walang sparkplug, distributor, condenser, etc. madali paandarin. L300 gamit ko dati, tipid sa krudo. ang adventure, pareho lang ng makina, mura ang change oil, P180 oil filter, P150 air cleaner. less than 1t/change oil/3 months. kung pa balance ng injectors, P75/injector lang d2 sa amin. kung engine wash, spray mo lang ng gaas then water hose sa buong makina, solved na. kung parts naman, always available and affordable. kung gusto mo pang magtipid, daming surplus ngayon.

basta tlc lang po ang kailangan parang babae lang yan heheheheh

[afrasay]

if i remember it right sabi sa denso eh 20,000 km or eto ba yun replace na...hehe. depende din ata sa gamit. nun pina check ko sa denso the last time may 10,000 km to go pa ako and they just clean it and adjust the opening pressure.

[afrasay]

Iyan nga ang mahal....

So far, my 2-year old diesel (Starex) is not that hard nor expensive to maintain... Diesel engines nowadays are now 'tamed'.

Diesel rules the world!

1901:nolurk:

Nasa around 2 thousand per injector nozzle. Pero sobrang matagal mo itong magagamit before mo need palitan. yun pattern ng spray ang check nila sa nozzles.
