Hindi dre. Iba pa sya pero I-TEQ engine ng Alterra is good. Di tulad ng unang ISUZU engines na maingay dahil sa chain gamit nila as timing drive instead of V-belt.

Hyundai: Official 2006 World Cup Sponsor..... oops, off-topic yata! Well, feeling ko ok din ang Hyundai CRDi engines... lalo na sa mga Starex vans na gustong gusto ata ng maraming Pilipino. ^_^

this thread was started back in Feb.2005 when we didn't have much "actual" user experience yet. Now, it's almost the end of the year and checking out the other threads here at tsikot, you can conclude that Toyotas D4D has its own weakness - main supply pump failure (an average of maybe 12 per dealership?) and one guy even had his Innova's entire CRDI system replaced. I have yet to hear of a Sorrento who's CRDI system has failed . . . . now talk about legendary Toyota reliability.

I got an Innova D4D last May since I was out-voted by my Toyota loyalist family against getting a Sorrento. I just cross my fingers that I don't suffer the same fate with my D4D.

Bro, pareho lang yung engine na ginagamit ng Thailand version ng Alterra dito sa Pinas. MU-7 and Alterra I-TEQ engine specs pareho.

Yung advertisement dun sa Thailand, kaya daw Super Commonrail, dahil ito raw yung may pinakamataas na pressure (180 megapascal) sa loob ng commonrail.

Timing gear at timing chain and ginagamit ng Alterra, nakakapagtaka lang dahil di na gaanong maingay. Siguro, saksakan ng daming sound deadeners and kinabit kaya ganun.

Kaka test drive lang namin nung weekend sa Tagaytay, nag sponsor ang Isuzu sa K-Lite 103.5.

Shhhh.... Atin, atin lang. Brad ko yung isa dun sa staff nila. Syempre tanong-tanong dun sa mga taga-Isuzu. Sayang yung mga give-aways, ganda nung cap.

Di pa yan introduced sa pinas or even sa europe but in korea, it's already available. It's still with collaboration with Bosch company which as I have mentioned before, same company that pioneered this CRD technology.I think even BMW uses some components from bosch company for their CRDi that's why maski dito sa pinas, alang problem ang CRD engines ng BMW even though sabi nga ng iba na di maganda quality ng diesel.

i just found out that hyundai already launched in the Philippines their VGT engine (1.5 DOHC CRDi Turbo Intercooler with Variable Geometry Turbocharger) in the new Hyundai Accent w/ Max Output (bhp/rpm) 114 / 4000 and Max Torque (Nm / rpm) 241 / 2000... quite pricey though for a Hyundai at 748k but definitely worth at the pumps at 20.40 km/ltr(manufacturer's data)... i say that this is quite a tempting ride during this time of skyrocketing fuel prices..

Epic how is your Innova D4D? did you ever experience the same problem as larshell?

**Ventoy** · December 30th, 2005 04:03 AM

This is just Bosh technology against JaPANIS Denso kaya sorry to all D4D owners < Sana pwede swap ng engine Fortuner to one use by Hyundai CRDI VGT. I'm a Pro Toyota kaso this D4D problem nakaka-inis. I think Toyota engines were not suitable for Diesels

just bought my 2006 starex last december, and honestly speaking, i am surprised by its performance (power, torque, low vibrations, fuel economy etc), and ease of driving. It is comparable to a 2 liter gasoline engine (minus the fuel consumption thing). I know this because I have a toyota camry. I made reservation for the Fortuner but backed out because of the negative review on the D4D engine, which is quite sensitive (daw) to the "dirty" diesel fuel that we have. So far, I do not have problems with my new car, and I was glad I bought this one, which is very spacious that my 3 kids can even play hide and seek..
