Good day mga sir! Need help po with my FM 2001 A/T 4x2. Had my glow plugs replaced sa motorix last tuesday with original set na. Pinalitan ko yung replacement glow plugs ko kasi nasira agad in 2 weeks. The mechanic at motorix checked the electrical, nag automatic off naman daw yung supply ng glow plugs. Its not due for calibration naman daw. Now after less than a week, hirap nanaman mag start. Mukhang busted nanaman yung mga glow plugs. Sayang mahal pa naman. Mga sir, ano pa kaya possible problem ng FM ko? Thanks in advance!

sir pano mo nasabi na hindi pa due for calibration? did you test the new set of glow plugs already if they are still working fine?

Check mo muna if busted nga talaga yung mga oem glow plugs , usually mga 2years ang life niyan. Tingnan mo din yung fuel filter mo pati hoses, nangyari na rin sakin yan, duda ko lagi yung mga glow plugs, yun pala one of the hoses to-from fuel filter sumisingaw ng konti, so yun ang nagiging result, hindi siya one click start

yep, pwedeng fuel line din. may air yung fuel line.

Salamat mga sir for the quick reply! Brought my FM back sa Motorix this afternoon and thankfully ok pa yung new OEM na glow plugs. One of the guys there, supervisor yata (iba kasi yung uniform) told me na for calibration na yung FM ko. This morning kasi after starting (one click), namatay yung engine nung nagreverse ako tapos nag hard starting na. Will bring my FM sa Central Diesel this week. Pacheck ko muna yung fuel line. Sana yun lang ang sira if not calibration na nga malamang (gastos nanaman ). Will post an update after going sa Central Diesel. Thanks again!

Update lang po mga sir. Had my FM calibrated sa Central Diesel. Left it last thursday and just got it this morning. Medyo matagal, dami yata sila ginagawa. Nabawasan yung engine shake and smoother yung ride. I don't know if thats psychological lang kasi bagong serviced. So far 1 click start na lang sya the whole day and hindi na namamatay yung engine. I'll know tomorrow morning kung ok pa rin with the engine na malamig. Cost of calibration (parts and labor) - 10,520Php. The mechanic suggested that i replace my nozzle tips also kasi may dent na. Pwede pa naman daw pero parang hassle nanaman pag bumigay so i took his advise and had it replaced also. That cost me additional 10,440Php for parts and labor. Total damage = 20,960.

ganyan naman talaga more or less gagastusin sa calibration...nasa 20k price range... ang talagang nagpapamahal eh yung nozzle tips... and more often than not palitin na rin talaga yun. chineck din kaya sir yung glowplugs nyo? siguro naman. ginto rin kasi presyo original glowplugs natin nasa 2k plus ata isa... so 4pcs parang presyong nozzle tip na rin.

Nacheck naman mga glowplugs sir. 2800/pc yung glowplugs na nabili ko sa motorix 2 weeks ago. Sana ok na lahat para tigil muna gastos.

sir zix.. hehe one man can do your tire change? or pwede one man pero dapat si arnold swartz.. hehe
im assuming it will also have effect on acceleration braking and fuel consumption? how bad po?

sir blue... i was googling for the writeup kayalang hehe di ko napo mahanap... hehe.. i think nabasa ko yun sa pajero australia websyts na may study na ganun.. hehe
dito sa forum madami nga din po ganun.. loyal sa mitsu... or baka mitsu fanboys tayo? hahaha jk

i think its something to do with the mentality na "naka-pajero ka" syndrome, parang status symbol na din for some of us. plus of course ***y ang flare side ng 2.5.

[blue]

Not a mitsu fanboi but yes, I love the pajero.

Same here, apir tayo Sir Ry!

[blue]

sir pajero nyo b ganun din ang buga ng headlight?

nahihinaan din ako sa headlight ng fm ko kaya what i did is that i removed the heavy tint in my windshield and just retained the upper and lower tint as visors. i also replaced my stock h4 bulbs and replaced with narva 60/55 all weather bubs. palagi kasing naulan dito sa silang and oftentimes foggy in tagaytay. mas nakaka penetrate kasi ang light ng all weather bulbs lalo night driving+heavy rains+fog as compared with stock.

there are some paj headlights that have patterns on the glass cover while some have clear ones. for some local paj (lh drive), the beam pattern has a 15 degree upward sloping section on its right side while for the jdm, i noticed nasa left yun sloping angle nya going up. aside from the cover pattern, the beam pattern also has something to do with the bulb diffuser and the reflector as a whole.

may nakapagtry na ba nun bolt on na projector? may nakikita kasi ako kinoconvert sa projector headlights retrofit yata tawag dun kaso medyo pricey, yun bolt on mura yun nga lang hindi ko alam kung maganda performance..

Headlights ng JDM ko, retrofitted. Yes, malaking investment nga, pero sulit na sulit naman.

RE: bolt on
Ok naman siya, lalo na kung low budget ka. Pero output wise, not on par with the retrofitted ones. Though may sinasabi sa akin ngayon si NighthawkGT (nag-retrofit ng Pajero ko), na may mga bolt-on projectors ngayon na magaganda na rin ang output. Pero sa price, hindi ko lang alam kung magkano. If I were you, kung konti lang ang difference ng price ng bolt-on sa retrofitted ones, doon na ko sa pagreretrofit.

Tatay ko ata ang tinamaan ng Pajero syndrome, dahil gusto niya ng Gen 2.5, hahaha! Seriously, ako di naman fanatic ng Pajero. In fact, di nga ko masyadong kumporme sa pagbili ng tatay ko ng isang Gen 2.5. Ibang sasakyan nga gusto ko at ang lagi ko tinitignan noon eh isang Patrol. Kaso, di kakasya sa garahe namin lalo na at may isang Gen 2 kami. Pag pinagtabi pa ang Gen 2 at isang Patrol, baka wala nang madaanan.

Sa case kasi namin, gusto niya Gen 2.5, para daw may comparison daw sa Gen 2 JDM namin. Kung baga, pwedeng gawing reference ang isa't isa just in case magkaroon ng problem on a particular part.

parehas pala kami ng views ng erpats mo, but both patrol and paj have their own pros and cons depending on use preference and road conditions san gagamitin.

imho, patrol is good for off roading because of its rigid axle, stiffer suspension and high ground clearance while the paj is good for city driving because of its independent suspension and perfect for the road conditions here in the Philippines. of course with more suspension moving parts in the paj higher din ang probability ng maintenance nya. engine of the patrol is larger (3.0) and more advanced than the 2.8 fm. but even with the larger engine, hindi din nagpapaiwan ang paj because of the patrols bigger body. external dimensions ng patrol, yes mas malaki ang patrol as compared with the fm but mas masikip ito sa loob than the fm. aesthetics wise, hmmm subjective na ito and depends from person to person na.

talking in general not only for the fm, this is the one of the drawbacks of using the compression ignition type engine (diesel) as compared with the spark ignition type (gasoline), its the calibration maintenance cost! but once it is corrected, it will give you years and years of service.

Since I live in a flood prone area, getting a Pajero is a practical choice... well I have no choice.. hehehe ... but I love the drive and its a good & reliable car.

Regarding headlights, I changed my frosted HL to clear ones from DEPO. yeah replacement sya, but they are still in good condition up to now no haze or loss in quality. by the way my rig is exposed to the Sun a lot of times still no discoloration...

[AC]

sir blue_gambit magkano po clear depo heatlights? gusto ko din niyan.. actually yun nga ang takot ko.. baka di tumagal...

how true sir bg! reliable, tough, easy to maintain, durable, parts availability, hindi namimili ng kalye mapa baha, mapa rough road, ++ pogi points pa!

with regards naman sa headlight, makakatulong din sir if we stick to 60/55 bulbs. kasi with higher wattage bulbs, there is a possibility that discoloration will occur not to mention the peeling-off of the reflectors.

[blue_gambit]

sir blue_gambit magkano po clear depo heatlights? gusto ko din niyan.. actually yun nga ang takot ko.. baka di tumagal...

di ko tanda na how much... I think P3.5K yata pair? not sure.. call mo na lang mit-parts dun ko binili yung HL ko.


*Blue tama ka paps, stock wattage lang since plastic ang clear HL. Pero I opted for Philips XV 65/55, too expensive para saken ang Retro-fit. Bawi na lang sa auxiliary lights sa bullbar.. hehehe

[Paj699]

Sir blue malaki ba ang pinagbago ng liwanag ng HL niyo Nung nagpalit kayo ng clear HL? Naayos ko na yung bulb ko problem pala ung wiring ng ceramic maluwag kaya pala ganun ang bulb ko

[AC]

thanks sir bg..

agree.. nakakasira po ng... headlight casing hi wattage bulbs.. kahit pa yung frosted glass... plastic din po kasi yung reflector niya.. nangunitim

[Paj699]

Sir AC bakit d masyadong mataas ang liwanag ng HL pag naka highbeam? Hindi Tulad ng revo namin Ganda ng liwanag ng HL

thanks sa info sir.. siguro search muna ako ng mga reviews regarding sa bolt on.. pag hindi maganda bolt on, retrofit na talaga solution...
