4JA1 Engine, Are there any problems?

[fabilioh]

ako nung magpa-calibrate ako last 5 months ago humina ang white smoke pero after a month or two eto nanaman. ang ginagawa ko ngayon para mabawasan ng konti yung white smoke kapag bumibyahe ako ng slex pedal to the metal ako for some few seconds or so at sa tingin ko na lessen naman ang white smoke.

sir saan ba ok mag palinis ng injectors and nozzles, at calibration? Yung hilander ko rin kasi 155k kms na, malakas na rin white smoke.

Thanks, saang shop ba sir si Ramon?

bought my 97 hilander six months ago... first time to have a diesel powered vehicle... have to renew its registration next month (january)... with the white smoke emission and smell of unburned fuel, are these indicators that it fail the required emission test? hope to hear from you guys in this regard... TIA

[ramledi]

bago ka magpa-emission test maglagay ka ng biodiesel. it will help you pass the test. that's what i do every registration.

1 liter biodiesel to a half full tank or less para matapang. then bomba ng accelerator bago pumunta sa emission testing center. labatiba na rin.

sir: thanks for the suggestion... i'll take note of it... by the way, where do you get your biodiesel? i also live in cavite... are you refering to the biodiesel that you could easily buy at regular gas stations like flying v or the pure biodiesel which is being sold by small / independent dealers? TIA!

[ramledi]

biodiesel na sold in bottles yan. sa flying v molino ako bumubili wala kasi sa mga auto supply na malapit dito sa amin. kaya pinagtyatyagaan ko na bumibili sa flying v. php156/bottle ang kuha ko. 1 litter na sya. mas mura sana kung di sa gas station mismo. tapos sa petron ako nagpapakarga ng diesel.

baka meron dyan na nakakaalam kung saan nakakabili ng biodeisel dito sa cavite, las piñas or muntinlupa na mura help naman

Pasensya na sir lately ko lang na realize kayo pala si ramon di pa ako nakatawag sa inyo medyo busy lang di ko pa maasikaso kaagad hilander.

Sorry baka OT rin ito, balak ko rin sana mag upgrade to Trooper, yung 4JG2 para easier to maintain. Worth it ba to replace my 2000 XTRM w/ a 99 Trooper? Malaki ba difference sa prices ng parts, fuel consumption, reliability, etc.? Ano ba going rates ng 99 Trooper ngayon? Thanks again!

Malaki. The Trooper requires:

• 2 Oil Filters
• 2 Gal. BESCO Oil (special oil)

... and prices of these are higher than a Hilander (XTRM). The Trooper is a 3.0L vs. a 2.5L Hilander --- so it is expected that Hilander would be more fuel efficient.

In terms of speed, comfort and image.... no brainer, Trooper wins vs. the Hilander.

Besides, it's comparing apples and oranges....

[niwde11]

benz; it think he is only looking for the older trooper(4jg2). not the newer one.

Honestly, 4JA1 mounted on your XTRM is a good engine. Its 2.5L direct injection is much efficient than a 4JG2 3.1L indirect injection. Direct injection engines are more efficient, stronger but noisy. kung 4JB1 2.8L also direct injection with intercooler turbo ang nilagay nila sa crosswind maganda sana.

Mahirap humanap ng 99 trooper kasi kaunti lang nilabas because transition unit ito. Old engine new facade kasi siya. Owners keep them because its low maintenance, a true workhorse, four wheel drive on the fly and wala ng papalit na mas magandang model kasi stop production na.

Engine maintenance is about the same as your crosswind just for bigger filters and more oil. Suspension and drive train is what makes it expensive, bigger shocks, brake pads, disk, tires, balljoints, bushing and supports.

I am a satisfied owner, if you find a 99 trooper that is well maintained for less than 500 thousand get it.

I've seen one sa net selling for 530k, looks well maintiained too. If only I had the money now I think the extra costs on the parts would all be worth it since as you said it's a true workhorse and is low maintenance as well. My only concern now is the availability of parts, since stop production na? Thanks again!

Agree talaga aku sa inyo mga fellow tsikotters masyado talaga mausok at saka tapang ng amoy. Everytime nga pag pinapainit ku ang engine uma.alma yung mother ku kasi umaabot sa aming bahay ang usok. Hehe!

Malakas tlaga mg vibrate ang xwind tapos mabagal din ang takbo.
Pero as of now wala pa naman akung na encounter na major probz sa xwind. maintenance lang....

[vhazon]

madali masira ang busing matagtag kasi ang likuran

[vhazon]

sir may problema ako sa crosswind xto 02 A/T matigas at late sfifting, nakabili kami ng brandnew innova G A/T 2011 m0del, naka isang linggo ko nang gamit.. binalikan ko yung crosswind na gamit ko dati, may napansin ako pakiramdam ko late shifting pero mabilis naman.. sa innova kasi pag apak mo ng pedal ang lakas humataw ang bilis mag shift ... hndi ko pansin dati dahil hndi pa ako nagdadrive ng ibang sasakyan.. sa tingin nyo ano po ang sira ng crosswind ko? fuel pump or transmission? bago na kasi lahat ng filter.. air filter, fuel oil filter, pati ATF bago rin..
