Question on engine break

**japeeps** · May 29th, 2014 01:38 PM

question about engine break... Nag caucause ba ito ng mas mabilis na wear and tear sa tranny and engine.
Sa manual kase it says better to use engine break than prolonge used of breaks or combination of both.

I usually go down sa parking from 7th floor of the parking building just in first gear, using 2nd gear sobeang bilis naman pag free wheel breaks naman. so perfect speed for me is just stay in 1st gear. I've been doing this for 2 years since nabili ko ung adventure ko.

^^^good job, tama yan sir. Mas safe at mas matipid sa gas. Ganyan din ako pagbumababa ng mataas na parking.

i believe engine brake is useful not only pag pababa, i do short engine brake din, pag curves, i keep my distance sa harap, then change 1 gear lower, causing a bit of brake ..... di na gagamit ng brakes, then, accelerate after the curve...... then quick change gear 1 higher.....

Question lang po... I talked to a mb mechanic fr. Abroad ang sabi nya yung mga modern diesel daw ngayon pag nag engine brake may auto shutoff ang fuel delivery... Is it true?

Ok parin ba ang engine braking kahit umaabot na ng 2500 rpm?

**miggymontero** · May 29th, 2014 10:02 PM

I also do engine brake.

Meron nga ba bad effect ito and safe rpm for engine brake?

Eto din iniisip ko minsan, wala naman siguro bad effect,

Mas mura lang siguro magpalit ng brake pads compare sa na damage na tranny yun eh kung may bad effect nga sa engine braking.
