June 30th, 2003 12:57 AM #3Just stick with the prescribed maintenance schedule in your owner's manual since newbie ka pa lang sa diesel. Now you don't have to worry about spark plugs, condensers, contact points, etc. hehehe.
Madaming tips and tricks ang mga tao dito sa diesel forum regarding maintenance.

June 30th, 2003 09:23 AM #7welcome newbie trese ;)
PMS every 5K, change oil, change oil filter, clean air filter (replace if you have budget every 10,000 km or more often). clean fuel water separator, clean fuel filter every 5K but replace every 10K. every 10K, replace gear oils, kung di ka naman frequent driver, every 15 or 20K siguro pwede pa rin. check brake pads,.... hmm ano pa ba? yun lang. just remember this old saying I got from a mech engineer friend of mine... nasa langis ang buhay ng diesel engine. never miss an oil change. yun lang ok ka na.

biodiesel is ok! best way to start it out. I suggest you get a tune up. Baka maka tanggal ng unti ung usok. then have everything checked as rsnald has said! feel free to ask!

July 1st, 2003 01:12 PM #15Aside from a regular change oil, cleaning the filters, etc... that the others mentioned, you could also have teh exhaust system washed/flushed and you could also try and have the engine de-carbonized like some of the other members have tried... This will probably help reduce your emissions and increase the performance a bit.
Also, since its a second hand car, it might help if you change the brake fluid, gear oil, PS fluid, flush the radiator, and change the timing belt... this would be good precautionary maintainance measures since you would not really have a complete idea on how the previous owner maintained and used the car.
