Mitsubishi Pajero Fieldmaster (Gen 2.5) [ARCHIVED]

[rlp1099]

right....syempre some other factors to consider to improve mileage just never saw a thread on cutting down on weight on Paj or any other vehicle to improve mileage..

[promdiboy]

sa glowplugs i got mine from eldorado also. 500 per piece filinvest mall. sabi saakin. yung 1000 a piece is from japan. and yung 500 is also orig but locally made na daw. parang yung filter ng 4d56 na 450 nalang. localy made na daw but orig. im not sure kung totoo, but thats what the guy from eldorado told me.

[OTEP]

There are locally sourced parts that are approved by the dealer as OEM replacement. Nissan calls them "Key Value" parts. Other manufacturers call them by different names. I don't think Mitsubishi has a name for these parts.

Minsan hindi locally sourced but from other countries (e.g. India).

sir pk, useful ba backup sensors sa pajero? 2 sensors ba ok na or 4 dapat? what brand ba maganda? ito kasi next install ko.

I heard na may problem daw kasi nadedetect niya yung spare tire natin.

[OTEP]

Pareho ata kami ni PK na naka-2 sensor set up. Pero yung sa amin hindi nakabutas sa bumper.

Parang alanganin ang 4 sensors kasi hindi naman flat ang rear bumper. Parang kulang sa space. Hehehe.

[nugundam93]

hmmm...matry ko nga na alisin yung 3rd row seats.

[KCboy]

nugundam93,
tanggalin mo na yung 35d row seat if bihira gamitin. me i took out mine 3 years ago and balik ko lang pag may outing or something. ul be surprise how heavy those seats are.

[nugundam93]

wow. thanks kcboy. i'll do that later.

para pambawi na rin, the driver kasi weighs 120 kilos. hahahahaha!!!

[KCboy]

nugundam93,
4x2 ba sa iyo n have you done the washer mod? if both yes, wow bilis na talaga ng paj mo. mukhang may boost controller ka pa.

Guys have a question regarding Glow plugs... Are they the 4 bulky pieces beside the battery on a 4D56td engine? I noticed a few weeks ago whenever I turn the ignition to warm up the engine a clicking sound will go off and then I start the engine but after the clicking sound doesn't stop for about 10-15 seconds. Could that clicking sound be the glowplugs? Thanks!

[OTEP]

The one beside the battery is the glow plug relay (and the accompanying distribution system).

Are you sure the noise is comming from there? If the noise is persistent after starting the engine, it could be the magnetic switch that engages the starter which is having problems.

The exact name of this part escapes me. Having the vehicle checked would be a good decision.

[nugundam93]

kcboy: yup, it's a 4x2 and i did the washer mod, am boosting 13psi at the moment, though dati it was 14psi and spikes to 16psi. i'm planning to get a boost controller though, i don't have one ngayon.

Yup the sound is coming from one of them. Will have them check over the weekend. It clicks when you turn on the glow plugs and stops but when you start the engine it starts clicking again around 3-5 times then stops again.

Hi PK, Mine has reduced glow-end body as compared to the screw-end. So there are basically two thickness along the body span. Anyway, saan store mo yan nabili for future reference.

Hi FM, Yup. You described the lower cost glow plugs precisely. Now I found out that the ones that failed me are of the same type. In any case, i got my Paj last year lang and i have no idea how long theyve been installed. In any case at Php450 a pop medyo bearable na rin ang price.

reducing weight to imporve mileage topic

if you remove bullbar and forward facing 3rd row seats will your mileage improve since paj will be lighter...?????

Yes it will. The question is, by how much.

The 3rd row seats + bullbar are both heavy items. I'd hesitate to put a figure on it pero guesstimate is around .2-.4km/L (dont quote me on this )

Im basing this on figures with my old paj where i removed the front facing 3rd row.

For me ok na yung 2. Frankly, although functional, mine is just for show. I mean, sisiw naman saki to fling the Pajero around like it was a Honda Jazz.

If you install a ultrasonic sensor near the spare tire, yup, it may give a false reading as the emitted waves may reflect from the spare tire.

The solution is to insall them at the bumper enders.

And just a piece of brotherly advice.... dont punch holes in your bumpers r.u.s.t.

Clickey sound comes from the glow plug relay situated near the batt as otep described. The glow plugs resemble the spark plugs (from the outside) of a gas powered car but connected in parallel by a piece of metal.

Hi PK/Promdiboy, I got confirmation from eldorado (filinvest) that they are selling 450/piece glow plug. The 1050 price Glow plug is Japan-based while the 450 is Local OEM part. By the way, I installed surplus oem Intercooler temp sensor two weeks ago and still working. I got it from sidewalk technician in Banawe near Motorcraft. I got it for 500 pesos. I recalled na "rekta" na yun intercooler mo so the fan is working fulltime, you might over used it.

[pajerokid]

I really dont mind as long as its oem besides you could almost get three locals for the price of one imported plug (1300 na yung japan, new stock siguro)

Sarap ng bagong plugs!!!

[promdiboy]

thanks for the advise sa back up sensors. audiovox na brand nalang kunin ko.

once palang ako nagpalit ng glowplugs ko. mas tumagal yung local oem ko, compared sa orig plugs ko. still no hardstarting. :car:

has anyone replaced their belts? all stock pa kasi yung belts ko. I'm nearing 60k maintenance. dapat na bang palitan lahat?

napansin niyo ba dati 1,200 lang orig filters natin way back 99. ngayon 1,600 na piankamura from motorix. parang good idea na magstock ng marami.
