kaya ako basta diesel ever since lumabas ang euro4 di na ako nagfi-fill up ng euro2. the worst of the big 3 is petron diesel (mausok) followed by shell (low power, mabilis maubos). pag walang-wala na talaga naghahanap ako ng caltex. even now that petron say they are euro4 medyo mausok pa din ang regular diesel nila. yung dieselMax ok lang kaso mahal naman.

I think uusok pa rin talaga at load bro. Sa Europe may nakita akong Euro 5 engines na mausok. Ang hirap linisin ng egr ng Euro 4 GS, masikip yung side na dinadaanan ng egr. I wonder how the early examples of GS with Euro 5 engines are doing. 2011 yung amin pero meron na rin lumabas Euro 5 the next year. Matagal tagal din nakagamit mga 2012 models with Euro 5 engines ng Euro 2 diesel.

GS had low power going uphill so I had the egr cleaned yesterday. Sobrang barado na. Egr tube, valve and intake manifold were all gunked up. So was the cat converter. 4 years of Euro 2 fuel and mostly city driving was really bad for the egr. I didn't have it blanked as it still had Hancars "warranty". It now runs like new.

Next up will be the intercooler.

Marunong na sila maglinis ng Euro5? 2 years ago i brought mine sa Goodgear di nila kaya pa. Iba daw kasi engine

afaik need pa din boss. hiwalay function nun. yung egr recirculates the exhaust back to the intake manifold to lower engine combustion temp which in turn lowers NOx production. yung dpf nasa exhaust pipe mismo, it catches the sulfur soot from the exhaust. nagre-regenerate siya, burning the soot by injecting diesel into the dpf. yung dpf is positioned after the egr inlet e.

Forgot to mention sa casa ginawa yung egr cleaning, went back to Hyundai Cainta. No choice, sila lang kasi malapit sa amin. They did mention the Euro 5 engines's egr layout was easier to clean. We did the catalytic converter and exhaust cleaning at home. Ganda ng takbo after.

Kelangan pa din linisin sir if you haven't blanked it. Specially if it spent a lot of kms on Euro 2 fuel we had prior to this year. DPF simply catches all the soot so it doesn't go out the tail pipe. It is downstream of the egr. Will get back to you re: brake pads. I'm testing a new set right now. We also replaced the front rotors last week.

57 Tkms na din natakbo sir, also mahina talaga parts ng Hyundai compared to Japanese makes. We also had a Tucson before, replaced front and rear rotors at 45 Tkms. Pwede pa naman gamitin yung rotors pero lampas na sa recommended wear limit which is 2mm. Mahina na kumagat.
