D4D Diesel Engine

[sami_voodoo]

Renault is sending their K9K 1.5 DCi Common Rail diesel engines to India in the Dacia Logan car.

Apparently, Sulphur is a problem as it clogs up the injectors over time, but a bigger problem is water. They're sending the engines to India with decanting filters - ones with water separators. Diesel has a higher retention of water than petrol in part because it's closer in density to water than petrol.

Other than that, Sulphur is not recommended on new diesel engines as it destroys the catalytic convertor. So the Indian engines will have no cats, and the engines are recalibrated to run without the cat.

I agree about military diesel. Apparently there too, it's the water that kills off pumps. That and the fact that the drivers run their tanks empty before each fillup. So all the gunge at the bottom of the fuel tank gets sucked up into the fuel pump.

Are you sure about the 1KZ? I've a friend who has had a Surf with a 1KZ for over 250,000 kms and his car has never had a problem.

guys the important question that arises is:

What will Toyota Indus do with the diesel varient in the upcomming corolla? 2C has been finished as pakistan was the last place. All their newer diesels are turbocharged D4-D engines. I wonder that trick they have for local market!

Simple call indus and check.....

SO

Now that it's 2010.

How many of you Vigo owners have experienced problems with your engines?
Please state the problem and the mileage. It'll help future prospective buyers as well as current owners alike.

Bump: Don't wanna create another thread.

my best friend has a vigo and a LC100(land cruiser) with D4D

his mechanic came up with a solution of putting up an extra fuel filter in row with the existing one. so basically diesel passes through 2 filters before going in the engine. and obviously its to be ensured that the diesel filters are changed well due on time.

p.s this is the main reason a 1.8 million rupee corolla still has 2C raw power

[hash4u]

and long time back when d4d was new i went to a diesel expert guy who was working on a vigo.when i asked he said the common rail is busted due to poor diesel.

not to mention the owner would be getting a shocking bill in the end to

[ahmadbila]

these engines are allegedly smoke free, and they adjust themselves to ensure no smoke, sadly the diesel here is so full of garbage that the D4D's don't stand a chance. they keep adjusting themselves till they kill themselves.

wat about BMW 730D and X5?? are they common rail?? asking it cuz i saw these 2 cars today n they were emitting black smoke like 2.0D...

Yes they are. If the EGR system or the air mass flow meter or the turbocharger is not functioning correctly, it will smoke like any other diesel engine.

****. There's a Vigo I was very interested in but it was already making weary noises from under the hood so I backed out. It was hard to say no cause it looked SINISTER! Black body, black rims, black carryboy, smoked tail, chromed grill.. ahh

Any idea what mileage that diesel engine was at when it went bust? Also, that best friend of yours, could you tell me what mileage his Vigo's at currently and whether the twin filter idea's working out?

[virtual_law]

Vigo owners, mobilize!

[hash4u]

nobody can assume the mileage or when the engine went wrong like that

his vigo is uk import, should be around 40k miles on it. and yes the double filter thing does help out.his LC100 which is used more is working perfectly fine.

Just one thing to add.

Hiace was launched by indus with a D4D (1Kd-FTV i guess) but after such complaints about clogged injectors and fueling issues, they switched back to 5L-E and its doing perfectly fine now.

Many transporters are using them on long hauls and they are living up to the Tota (as they call it :)) expectations.

Vigo has same engine.

Is the 5L-E a turbocharged version? Or did Toyota Indus pull out the turbo 1KD-FTV and put in a non-turbo engine?

Its non turbo because TurboDiesel is also too much for many in Pakistan

[sami_voodoo]

Hmm, that's cool, so you lose around 75 BHP between the two engines Just like Toyota Indus!

[spectra]

thats one corolla

But it doesnt matter because people are loving it and its widespread in usage after this change.

It's not with D4-D only. Bad quality diesel is busting injectors all around. I saw a bill of 250k for the replacement of INJECTORS ONLY, for Hyundai Terracan
