Hyundai Fuel Consumption Database

[yakuini]

Mine is 6-7Km/L city driving only. My first time owning a Diesel vehicle, is this high or tama lang? (Starex SVX '02)

Parang di ako sanay kasi box type Lancer ko is 10-11km/L

[cyberdoc95]

So far sa mga nababasa ko dito sa threads, you are in the same gas consumption range. Starex with CRDI engine should do better though as far as gas consumption is concern...

[yakuini]

I see, kala ko me problema sa van. Kabibili ko lang nito eh, ala pang isang buwan.

Also, me sipol ang sasakyan, something like wind noise, pag nasa 80KPH pataas mo lang maririnig. I checked all the doors (even putting tapes in them to see if it is a rubber seal issue pero meron pa rin. Any other location on where I should check to fix the noise?

[ILuvDetailing]

Maybe thats the turbo kicking in...

sa turbo nga yan.

[yakuini]

Pero parang alam problem naman sa torque and speed...ano ang fix pag Turbo? Yung source ko knows the issue and shoulder naman nya ang fix pag turbo nga...Pero parang tunong wind noise lang kasi eh. Could it be the intake of the turbo?

[ILuvDetailing]

check your RPM, see if the wind noise kicks in at 2500 rpm... AFAIK ganon talaga tunog ng turbo.

[maop99]

akin nga 5.5-6km ata eh parang ang lakas nga sa gas! kasi sa ibang diesel nakaka 8-11 daw, di ng ako makapaniwala eh.....I guess normal pala yon sa starex...grabe sa lakas ng gas....dito rin kasi sa area namin super dami ng humps! kakadagadag din siguro ito sa consumption....30 humps yata ang dadaanan ko bago maka-uwi! hehehe

[ILuvDetailing]

heavy body + underpowered engine + turbo = poor mileage.

[yakuini]

Highway okay mileage nya, umaabot din ng 10-11km/L.

As with the wind noise, its not with the RPM kasi pag nasa 2nd gear ako umaabot ako ng 3K RPM ala naman. Noticeable talaga sya pag nasa 80KPH na ang speed.

If the problem is with Turbo, are there any tips on how to fix this or kailangang dalhin ito sa shop? Also, what could be the problem with the Turbo pag me sipol sya?

[OTEP]

Turbos really do make a whining sound esp. when turning at very high speeds (in excess of 10,000 rpm ang speed ng turbo). Maybe you have not had a turbo vehicle before.

[yakuini]

Pero irritating talaga sya...as in ang ingay. Nilalakasan ko na lang ang Stereo para di lang marinig....Yes sir Otep, first time owning a Turbo First time owner din po ng diesel engine...noobs

[yakuini]

Any tips on how to lessen the noise?

[OTEP]

Hmmm...very subjective din kasi ang symptoms. Dapat marinig muna bago ma-assess. Hindi naman belts yan?

[yakuini]

Nope, hindi belts. its the same noise that you will hear if there is a crack sa rubber ng mga doors...Anyone who can hear it think that its with the doors. One by one, tinakpan ko ang door sa likod, then passenger side then sliding, including windows, one by one. Pero same pa rin. Yung sa driver side na lang ang hindi ko pa nasusubukang takpan pero di naman doon kasi i tried opening it a little while driving at 70KPH, noise is still there.

[PROTREK]

baka naman me butas na rubber seal ng windshield mo or baka meron kang nakainstall na roofrack or rainvisor sa doors that may produce whistling sound at highspeed.

[OTEP]

OT: Sa GEN I Pajero namin. Yung mismong door seal ng passenger ang problema. So whether window up or down, andun ang tunog.

[yakuini]

I'll check the Roof rack...yes meron ngan roof rack ang van ko. Try ko i-seal sa labas ang door sa driver side.

One thing I've noticed is that the noise starts when I shift to 4th Gear. I try to keep it slow mamaya pag-uwi at 4th Gear and see if has something to do with it. Will probably run it at 50KPH sa 4th gear to check.

[bwn]

yakuini, sa amin din sipol sound starting around 70 kph, tagal ko na din hinahanap, i really think its the roof rack.

[yakuini]

I removed the roof rack yesterday and went to the office today, wind noise is still present. Waahh, saan kaya yun?!

Will try to seal the hood naman mamaya.
