Sir, I've experienced this loss of power a few weeks ago. Pero I can't relate it to long idle. I usually notice it during sudden acceleration. I tried bleeding air from the fuel filter, and since then I don't experience the loss of power anymore. Just today, I travelled to Lucban via Majayjay (dami uphill), wala naman problem sa power. My question is... ano ba signs ng may air sa fuel line (system)?

doc boz, musta na ba? regarding your question - i can't say if this will hold true for the crdi engines but for other diesel engine types basically manghihina yung sasakyan mo, yung tip bang hirap humatak o makupad umarangkada... actually hindi mo malalaman na hinangin ang linya until maramdaman mo na yan eh, kasi yung sensor sa fuel filter natin will only indicate a problem pag tuyo na ata ang filter, pero pag may hangin ang linya wala namang sign... ako i usually bleed the line every change opil, so that's roughly every 10K kms.

mga bosb's... may replacement air cleaner element na para sa mga 2.5 na strada na gawa ng fram. NAghahanap na lang ako ng may local stocking dito, kung sakaling wala baka mag parating na lang ako... will update you all on the price and availability when i have the complete details... ang inaantay ko na lang is yung fuel filter and oil filter ng fram... dihamak naman na mas maganda ang fram kasi compared sa mga sinusupply ng casa

Salamat tol. I guess I'll be doing this from now on. I read somewhere that the sensor will detect water in the fuel filter, no mention about air though.
Eto, natutuwa sa mga bagong tatay ng TSCP. Galingan nyo pa ni atty. Hehe. Higher level of learning na kasi ako. Unless makabuo ng junior ko.

Hello mga pare, can somebody help me? As much as i liked the Strada more than the rest of the pickups, I just can't help compare its backseat to the Hilux. Sorry guys, I know somebody will react to what I am about to say, but the Hilux's backseat is more comfortable. Is it possible to customize a seat cover that will make it more comfortable? Has anyone done it na? I really like everything about the Strada, but I want to make sure that my family at the back will be as comfortable as possible. Thanks.
