Why everyone seems to HATE Diesel Cars?

[hanskhan]

Why does everyone make Diesel cars a headache, i read they have good mileage.
What is the reason behind it, i am pretty sure its not Global Warming/Pollution we Pakistani's don't care about the environment much.
OR because they are old are require repairs?
Please any experiences will help?

Diesel engine are more environmental friendly than petrol
emissions from petrol engines are invisible but more harmful then diesel

diesels are fun to drive and but in pakistan people have just seen diesel engine as toyota 2c which is noisy and as price of diesel is on high side thus believe that it might be expensive to run
which is not true plus lack of proper diesel mechanics is one of big reason too

And poor diesel quality

Diesel engines are very powerful as compared to petrol engines but their maintenance is expensive and need overhauling earlier than petrol engines.

[zulfiqarmrd]

Yes, the main issue is its frequent maintenance. But following are some of the other factors why people do not like diesel:

1. Noisy engines
2. Increased weight of the engine that is responsible for wear and tear
3. Pollution
4. Increased price of diesel

Diesel engines wear slower than petrol engines the problem is diesel mechanics in pakistan overhauls engine as soon as "blow back" occurs "engine back mar raha hai isko banwalo" blow off can occur even if valve clearance and injection arent upto specs

Actually bro the issues you mentioned are a thing of the past. New engines are very refined, trouble free and as easy to maintain as petrol engines. Plus the biggest advantage of diesel is high mileage hence the higher price of diesel is still economical as compared to a petrol car. Our Neighbour India is enjoying Diesel engine variants as they are available in almost all new cars. Even the 11th gen corolla is available in India with a 1.4 diesel and it gives an amazing mileage of 25kmpl.
I wish mindset of people changes in Pakistan wrt to diesel cars and we can all benefit.

i've seen the 2010 corolla 2.0D producing grinding noise like hell !
poor maintained or whatever bt even a screwed petrol engine doesn't sounds like that !
yes efficiency wise diesel engines are much much better than petrol engine but still Diesel cars are very pollutant in Pakistan + engine noise is a negative point !

Sadly because in Pakistan diesel engine= 2C or 1C. Heck they should see CD20E sweet super smooth. Loads of torque and 20KM/L too. Nissan CD20 supersedes Toyota 2C by miles.

[Xulfiqar]

reason for diesel failure is

in pakistan diesel engine means
1C
2C
3C
2L
3L
5L

mazda t3500
bedford raakit

heck - you will even see 1KD being thrown out for 1KZ. - because "ustaad kehta hai ke behtarr hai"

then you see hz ustaad rehamtullah alehe putting extra washers under head bolts of these 1KZ because "jenyan bolt hain" - while overlooking the fact that they are torque to yeild loss bolts. (meaning one time use only)

mercedes CDI diesel are globally famous for intergalactic mileage and extremely good fuel mileage - but in Pakistan its failed because hz ustaad RA - cannot understand or start to diagnose actual problems.. (they wont even have the correct tools to start with) - I have seen quite a lot of CDI injectors damaged while removing because the mechanics didnt want to buy or make the correct slide hammer which pulls the injectors out.

then the famous - injen beck maar raha hai - ring sleeve dalwalo... lathe guy installs the sleeves with epoxy and sets clearance too tight to pistons - once the engine reaches normal temperature - it siezes. Then hz ustaad says - engine purana hai thermastate vaal nikal do ye thanday ilaqay ke liye hai.

I havent even started on the engine oils yet, I have seen people put in SAE 50 oil into 1KD toyota and wonder why it wont start and why its crank is rattling after 10,000 kms

and so goes the story.

What is 1C and 2C, is that CC we are talking about?
I have never had a chance to drive a diesel car, Do they have a better driving experience?
Someone mentioned they are powerful, but are they fast as well? like 0-100?

2c is 2000cc, don't know about 1c and diesel are well known for great torque means power

Diesel engines are to heavy for performance. Petrol engines are lighter and fast.
