August 4th, 2005 02:24 PM #21guys, pansin ko lang. almost everybody is using the diesel Adventure. Is it because the gas adventure is not good? planning to get a gas adventure kse because it's cheaper and maintenance is cheaper din daw. ok lang ba ang gas version? what is your opinion on this?

August 4th, 2005 02:32 PM #22Gas Adventure is not bad at all. In fact, it has a powerful gas engine. It is quieter and less vibration too. The reason why most of us here bought diesel would probably be the frugality of diesel engine and cheaper fuel... but you can argue that, gas and diesel fuel cost are not that far from each other.
Sa Yahoo MAC, marami-rami din ang meron gas Adventure.

I don't know about the others, pero ako sa bundok nakatira - which necessitates the use of a diesel-powered vehicle. Besides, my rationale is, if one is looking for speed, then one is better off with a sedan or coupe, instead of a gas-powered AUV with a high center of gravity.
I gather that the gas Adventure's engine is the same one found in the Galant, but I wouldn't have any idea how it is in the long run. Totoo na mas mahal ang diesel engine sa gas, because diesel engines are more massive so as to tolerate higher levels of stress. Pero in terms of maintenance, ewan ko kung mas mura pa rin ang gas. Diesel engines have fewer working parts i.e. no need for sparkplugs, and they generally last longer, too.

August 4th, 2005 02:44 PM #24i see. thanks for your input, guys. has anyone in the MAC forums actually initiated a thread comparing maintenace cost and mileage (km/liter) between gas and diesel adventure variants? this would be a good discussion topic for everyone.

Also, with all the stop and go traffic, all the heat and the floods, its more practical to get a diesel powered ride.
IMHO, sa diesels kasi, konting misuse and konting mis-maintain, usok kaagad lolz... sa gas, mas di halata kasi. That is one reason why it appears na mas mura ang maintenance ng car.
As long as you give TLC to your diesel, it is for sure, one durable, fuel efficient, long lasting, and ultra dependable engine you can buy.

October 27th, 2005 04:32 PM #29To diesel Adventure owners, does anyone actually use the pump on the fuel filter to remove air and water (DIY type)? If so, how often do you do it?
