In our case it could've been bad fuel in the province. We always fuel up at Shell (Vpower diesel) and always only in flood free areas. Only problem is in the provinces you don't really have a choice. And there was this issue about provincial big 3 gas stations having diesel delivered from dubious sources. We change air and fuel filter every 10TKm. No additives either.

There's also the possibility maybe HARI units were detuned before Euro 4 diesel rollout?

more likely hari already specified the euro2 fuel system even if euro4/5 models were already out as they knew how bad our fuel is. ako nga yung sorento ko pag kinargahan ko ng petron magreregenerate yung dpf after 1 full tànk sa taas ng sulfur content ng petron diesel nung euro2 pa lang sila. e uero2 naman yung sorento 2012. this means only 1 thing, yung sinasabi ng petron na euro2 na sila e false yun kasi yung euro2 na makina inuubo sa diesel nilang euro2.

Meron bang Euro 2 na VGT dati bro? Afaik Euro 3 na kasi yung TCi engine. I think Euro 4 na kaagad yung mga naunang VGT models.

Mukhang mas matibay yung mga older gen crdi injectors. Yung Navara ko Euro 3 din, still going strong despite using Euro 2 diesel most of its life. No smoke except on heavy acceleration.

mine was a hari unit 2010 vgt and it was euro2. and as i said yung 2012 sorento (also vgt) euro2 din. baka independent dealers yung euro3 agad.

Tsk. Something to think about if kukuha ng gray market. Euro 6 na mga GS nila ngayon.

Mine us Euro 5 no problem at all. 5 years na. Totoo yung sinasabi ni Yebo kapag nag Petron ako dati 2-3 full tanks regenerate na DPF. Kaya nag Vpower na lang ako simula nun, or Caltex mas okay pa.
Sabi ng Hancars no need na i tuned daw ulit yung GS kahit Euro 4 na diesel ngayon

Have to correct myself, talked to Toto of Central Diesel, nirebuild lang pala nila injectors ko. Nalito siguro si Jake re: injector swap. Akala siguro ibang unit.

There's still a little puff of white smoke at cold starts so I'll bring it back when time permits.

Plan ng family namin bumili ng bago sasakyan at GS ang isa sa napupusuan namin meron lamang po ako mga bagay na nais itanong.

1) Hari o Grey market ano ang mas prefer nyo.
2) Saan dealer o branch ang marerecommend nyo na maganda in terms of after sale service, quality ng gawa.
3) If Grey market ang kukunin masisira ba GS sa klase ng diesel na binebenta sa atin.
4) Kaya ba ni GS paahon na daan kahit fully loaded.
4) Any issues na hindi pa naayus ng hyundai sa GS.

Marami salamat po!

Province din ako bro nakatira. Maluwas man ako ng manila pero di ako nagpapa crudo dun since mas mura sa amin... Just thinking baka di naman sira injectors? May bad experience na ko dyan sa central diesel q. Ave branch. Dinala ko dati oto low power nung newbie pa sa diesel. Sabi rebuild na raw injectors ko. Buti, nagresearch at nilinis ko lang sensor. Ayun, okay na till now.. LOL. Si erpats dinala rin nya everest nya dati dun maitim usok at low power, same prognosis. Palit injectors na raw sabi ni q.ave. Pag check ko ayun pala may boost leak lang sa hose punit..

Actually, baliktad sya. Mas matibay na ang mga latest gen na fuel injection system. So the newer the model ung oto, mas matibay fuel injection system. Read this at a bosch website. Google nyo lang bosch crs.

Ang maarte is not the injector or pump BUT the DPF filter which is totally not related sa injector performance. Nagclog lang DPF due to dirty fuel but that doesnt mean the fuel filter, fuel pump and/or the injectors will clog up or will break as well.
