oo pasok mo na lang sa casa bro for sure ka. saka ingat ka lang sa casa dahil minsan kahit wala masyadong problema yung ms natin hahanapan nila ng sakit kaya mas maganda katabi ka ng sasakyan mo para kita mo ginagawa nila at alam mo kung saan talaga problema.

dinala ko sa casa sasakyan ko para patingnan kung ano nangyari, tinanong nila ako kung saan daw ako huling nagpagasolina, sabi ko sa PETRON, sabi nila, kalimitan daw nung nagpapatingin sa kanila ng ganung problema, karamihan ng customers nila, huling nagpagasolina sa PETRON. papalitan daw nila ng Fuel Filter yung sasakyan ko, mahigit 6,000 sa casa babayaran e. advisable ba na sa hindi na sa casa ko papalitan yung fuel filter ko?

Dahil daw dun sa diesel na nailagay sa sasakyan ko e, parang may halo daw kaya daw naapektuhan yung fuel filter kaya nagwwarning yung "CHECK ENGINE" ko sa dashboard.

may mga cases nga na ganyan, lalabas yung CEL at ang sasabihin agad ng casa ay may halong tubig yung naikargang krudo. usually, pinapalitan yung fuel filter at lilinisan yung fuel tank and of course at the owner's expense

so far naso-solve naman yung problema kaya pwede nga siguro na may halo yung naikarga kaya ang advisable ay huwag magkarga sa mga gas stations na binabaha.

pero hindi kaya yung dumi ay dati ng nasa fuel tank?

na nung nagkarga ka ay na-agitate lang yung dumi kaya nagbara ang fuel filter?

yan ang di natin alam kasi nung inilabas natin ang unit ay di naman masisilip kung madumi o hindi ang tangke. kaya kapag nag CEL at pinalitan ang fuel filter sabay lilinisan na din ng casa yung fuel tank, now di natin sure kung nahaluan nga ng tubig yung krudo o dati ng madumi yung tangke

*monty_gtv - gaano po ba kadelikado yung ganun cases? kelangan ba papalitan ko na agad yung fuel filter? masyado kasing mabigat yung service fee para dun e. and advisable ba na sa ibang mekaniko ko nalang ipagawa or sa kelangan sa casa?

actually pwede naman sa mekaniko mo na lang ipagawa yan, mas matututukan mo pa, plus laki ng price difference. but the warning lamp will still be there. it doesnt mean naman may diprensya pa din after replacing the fuel filter and draining the tank, its just that may "log" sa ecu yan na nagkaroon before ng irregularities, sad thing, it has tO be reset using a laptop. may mga shops naman sa labas na mayroon laptop/programs that can reset that( erase the log)

I don't know if this is relevant pero had 2 episodes na ng CEL pero alam ko nagtrigger and the CEL spontaneously disappeared nung nacorrect problem. 1st episode is when the post intercooler intake tube was disconnected just before the throttle body and the engine was revved. 2nd episode is nung tinanggal thermostat during my coolant flushing, the CEL was triggered after running the engine during flushing. CEL was gone approx a few hours after maconnect yung pipe and thermostat, did not even experienced any LIMP mode as I was running approx 80 kph with the CEL on. Ask the CASA whether they can know the codes of these CEL, they told me that since the CEL is not on anymore they can't trace the code (Don't know if it is true baka tinatamad lng itrace :buh

The pix below is how dirty my fuel filter (Baldwin BF 7534) after 20k kms of use during my 40K kms PMS. Dont have a pix of my OEM fuel filter during my first 20K kms but as far as I can remember the insides of the OEM looks much cleaner. Difference in the conditions aside from the kms reading is that I used a fuel system cleaner in my 30K PMS and EURO 2 in my first 10K kms while the rest was EURO 4 diesel + 2T. AFAIK the Baldwin did not trigger any CEL. As for any water contamination mukang wala naman siguro since di ko pa nakita nag on yung fuel filter indicator lamp

OT: BTW to those who changed their fuel filter ganu po kadumi filter nyo?
