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.....

nanghinayang sa brake pad or brake shoe pero sa pressure plate at dics,release bearing hindi ...

kadalasan gamit ko lang engine brake pag pababa..tulad sa bundok..mahabang pababa..

kung sa parking lang galing sa taas kahit 10 flor pa hindi naman ganun kabilis magiinit or mag babaga ung braking system mo..

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?

yespo.
gas engines effect the engine brake thru the partial vacuum in the throttle system.
diesel engines do not have such vacuum. they generate engine brake by controlling the fuel delivery.

so it means po ba... we can save diesel when using engine brake as against po pag naka nuetral lang tayo?

anything excessive is bad. use engine braking only when you need to. use your brakes only when you need to. drive at the appropriate speed. as long as you do not abuse your car, then normal wear lang ang mangyayari and not excessive wear.
