salamat sir! sakto pagbalik na lang dito sa maynila galing sorsogon ko papalitan sabay change oil tune up.

tama ba yun axle oil yun o gear oil? ano ba ok na brand ng transmission at gear oil?

sobrang newbie eh. hehehe! ngayon lang nagka diesel na sasakyan eh.

Hahaha! Relax ka lang. Lahat tayo natututo sa forum. Sige lang, magtanong para sa karagdagang kaalaman.

Di makita ang pics *Red16

Sir tholitz just click the logo of frog..

[QUOTE=im_mblue;1746149]Hehehe... Sir Red, under the hood kasi may insulation yun for heat
and for acoustic (noise dampener din) isa ito sa mga naisip kong pinagmumulan
ng noise or puwede ring yung hood lock na rin na loose na kaya hindi na lapat
na lapat yung hood pag sinasara...meaning may singaw na both sa init at ingay.


Getzz.. kuna sir but mine yung hood lock nya eh medyo loose na sa kakabagsak ko sa pagsasarado. Instead mas ok parin pala na "press" down munalang ng kamay mo yung hood bago isira para iwas "loose"...

Ingat din sa pag push down baka magkaroon ng dent o mayupi. 2-3 inch bago bitawan pwede naman ata.

*Benz,

Tatanong ko lang kung may magkakaissue sa offset itong ganitong specs ng rim. Thanks.[IMG]\

Yes axle oil yung sa rear solid axle, shell SAE 140 would be ok. Gear oil for manual tranny mo naman, shell sae 90 or similar viscosity rating unless specifically may required na iba yung manual. Much better to use synthetic like valvoline to prolong the life of the gears and axle since every 20-30K kms naman palit eh.

*Benz,

The specs seemed to be like OEM --- only that the rim width is 8"! OEM is only 6.5" (or 7") A knowledgeable (and trusted) rim/tire shop should be able to decipher if that spec would fit a Crosswind without issues. Oh, correct tire specs (particularly width and flat rate) would prove important too.

Slightly OT: Got pic of the rim in that box to show us? Hehehe!

Korek, kaya nga napataas ang kilay ko dun sa isang mekaniko dito malapit sa amin na dinedemo nya kung paano magsara ng hood kasi nakita nyang medyo natagalan ako sa pagsara ng hood ko, e pinasingit ko para makita yung paraan nya, e ang style ba naman ay yung iaangat ng mataas at bibitawan...huh, nainis ako kasi ang problema sa latch pa rin e, kapag tabingi na kahit ilang bagsak pa gagawin mo hindi talaga nya kakagatin yung bar, kaya ko isinasara na lang ng dahan-dahan tapos alalay ng dukot sa ilalim ng latch lever para kumagat ng maayos na hindi lumalabas na galit ka sa crosswind mo hahaha... shy kasi ako e ayoko ng iskandalo hahaha.

may nag recommend sa akin na i-adjust yg yung injection para lamakas hatak/bumilis Xwind AT ko. parang advanced setting ata yun. Safe ba yan?

Pros and Cons appreciated.

Been trying to educate myself on some concerns on the diesel engine
and I came across your concern in this thread of DIESELDUDE:

http://tsikot.com/forums/showthread....lp-Desk/page28

Here's a quote from this thread:

Diesel injection timing is determined by the factory as the optimal setting for a specific engine model, and is expressed in "degrees before top dead center", example: 20 degrees BTDC. This means that fuel STARTS to inject during the engine's compression stroke at 20 degrees before the piston reaches its topmost position.

Advancing timing by 1 or 2 degrees may not have any noticeable effects. But a large deviation will apply excessive load on the engine, and result in poor engine performance, overheating, smoke, and high fuel consumption.

Your question was good. This topic is very important to all diesel users. We can go deeper into this matter if needed.

But Sir I would like to ask wouldn't advancing the timing a little bit make your fuel burn more completely because it will have more time to mix with the oxygen molecules? You may be right about giving more time to mix fuel and air, but advancing timing has a downside to it.

Because a mechanic friend of mine told me that if I advance the timing of my injection pump I would substantially improve upon my BSFC and lessen my emission, but also said this would be at the expense of more noise and clatter. The term "a little bit" is quite vague. It would be good if your machanic knows how many degrees he intends to advance timing. 1 deg. advance from manufacturer's specs may not show any noticeable effect. But as timing is more advanced, change will be more noticeable as the engine's performance will detriorate.

Is this true? This is not true.

I will try to prepare a brief description of diesel injection timing for you soon.

Medyo bz lang ako ngayon. Bye....

I would encourage you to take some pointers on that thread...hehehe, pareho tayong matututo from
the experts.
