Hyundai ACCENT Hatch CRDI 1.6

[bayen]

Eee... 18km per liter. Kakainggit. Wish i can get that same fuel efficiency.

Ilan ang full tank ng hb accent?

[bloowolf]

Don't expect to get the same FC all the time. FC will depend on driving conditions & range from 12 to 23 over a full tank.

no sounds naman.
problem is my parents are the ones driving the car most of the time they do often go long drives and my worry is my dad always shuts off the engine immediately like.. to go to toilet break sa mga gas stations coming from a highway drive example and from what i read dapat may cool down muna diba.

Yun lang mahirap sir. Without proper cool down, a turbocharger can go bad easily. If the car is under warranty, best have it checked sa casa

Di naman lagi 18km per liter. I once hit 16.5 when I raced the car to 175kph. Hehe. But yes it is easy to get 18kpl with this car basta lagi ka long distance driving. In my case, bulacan taguig araw araw kaya laging may exercise yung makina ko.

Sir, ilang months na yung unit nyo? MT or AT? Any issues encountered so far?

Before, I was eyeing on this unit because of fuel efficiency and design of this car but when I read the complaints of other owners here (e.g. rattling sound, bad casa service, etc.), I am having a doubt. Now, I am eyeing the Suzuki Ertiga because it has the most positive feedbacks coming from satisfied owners posting here in tsikot and review from different motoring sites. But I don't want to lose hope on this Accent CRDI because diesel is diesel. Could you provide me a reason why should I choose this accent over ertiga? Hope you can help me on my decision. Thanks.

For one, it is really fun to drive. It is a small car with a large, frugal diesel engine. It can accelerate to 40 kph even without stepping on the accelerator due to the high torque output of the engine. The engine is not even straining but you find yourself leaving others in your dust. It can easily get you out of cramped situations when needed. It doesn't have the size & practicality of the ertiga but definitely makes up for it's short comings with it's neat engine.

hopefully more diesel cars are coming with euro4 deadline on January 2016. Wala na excuse for dirty fuels

While googling U2 crdi engine dpf, this is what I found. The big rusty canister at the back of the engine connected to the turbo is actually the housing for the DPF. The only thing lacking in our engines, compared to the picture is the plumbing. Most likely, no DPF in our engines.

ano ba ang symptom na may problem ang turbo 16k na ang accent manual namin pero napansin ko parang hindi na humahatak ng mlakas kahit lagpas 2k rpm na for example 3rd gear dati nararamdaman ko pa na iba ung lakas after 1500 rpm. salamat po!

i don't think it’s the turbo. it could be as simple as replacing your air filter will solve your problem or egr cleaning. turbos are hard to break plus motor oil nowadays are more advance. i believe the least oil we use on our accent is semi synthetic which has a good additive and viscosity. unless if you race your care and always hit 2K plus rpm continuously for a longer period.

When I was in the casa having my car serviced, the service tech said the common problem of crdi engines is the turbo breakdown. Using mineral oil unsuitable for turbo, long idling which overheats the turbo, improper warm ups & cool down are the culprits amongst others. The manual states that the car just needs 20 secs after startup to get the oil into the turbo shaft bearing & a minute before shutting off to cool down the turbo sufficiently so as not to burn up the oil left.

madali masira yung turbo ng Ford, mazda and Korean cars. sa Toyota, isuzu at mitsubishi turbo diesels, subok na. kahit ginawa pa namin pang hauling. kayang kaya. all survived more than 8 yrs na of heavy work. using only mineral oil. changed oil once a year Lang sa delivery namin.

Pa check mo sa casa. They'll connect their Diagnostic Device (laptop) to your car and from there, possible causes would appear. Baka naman Fuel Filter ang cause, although hindi pa umabot ng 20,000 kms wc is the usual mileage when it needs to be replaced w a new one.

AGREE 100%!
It's Fun to drive this "Quick" car!

I still see many previous model (4-door sedan) 1.4 Accent CRDI models running and still looking presentable. I guess it's all a matter of proper maintenance.

Sir can you site specific examples of each brand na nasiraan ng turbo and the cause? Para na rin sa kaalaman ng ating mga fellow tsikoteers.

Ano raw yung remedy kung nag long idling ka? minsan di maiwasan yun eh. iniisip ko kung umandar ka ulit okay lang lalamig ulit yung turbo.

imho gradual warm up & gradual engine loading from start up, gradual engine unloading & cooling down for at least 2 mins is sufficient for the turbo. of course you have to use lube oil that is specific for a turbo charge engine.
