Closing the EGR Valve *check first post for links*

My company fuel card would've taken care of that.

What about the whales and dolfins you know the ones on tuna tins

[burnah]

I'll always feel remorse for my personal impact on the planet, but I use one 75L tank of diesel per fortnight. How much more would a V6 use?

[Homer]

About 10% more from what I've seen on trips. Depends on your setup. If towing it would use considerably more...

Of course the diesels also pour smoke, carbon and other pollutants visibly out the tail pipe...sometimes i've seen them do it in massive clouds
Then they break down all the time too unless you remove and block all of the components that make them pass pollution laws...then they only break down a lot.

So all in all they are a messy, thirsty planet killing thing that cost more and are generally unreliable

If you don't believe that then look at "new posts" and remove all the posts about diesel engine issues....not much reading on here then
Drives some of us that don't experience these problems off topic all the time

Thirsty, smokey, smelly, oily, rattly.....

Couldnt have anything to do with the fact that petrol motors are now no longer in the range ....

Survival of the fittest at play here???

[Homer]

Yeah they needed to keep their service company's in work

[chick_magnet_0001]

you mean they couldnt train the mits grease monkeys fast enough to rebuild the bottom end on the 3.5L so they scrapped it all together.....

[Homer]

we could go on all day

No bottom end issues on the 6G74 mate...you can get 1,000hp out of one of them

Hey Homer, is there anyway to tell how many members on NTN own diesels and how many own petrols?

There might be a clue in that result as to the amount of threads on diesel issues v the amount of threads on petrol issues.

I might be wrong...but I don't think the 'old stock' piston slapping six was super popular, so there probably aren't a lot of people with much to say about them, or wanting to admit they have one. Most petrol fanboys would have been buying the 4.0 litre Hilux for obvious reasons (much better engine ).

Something to consider while you're trying to track down the latest 'miss under load'.

[sierra]

I know it's not a 4x4 but it is a Triton. The 4x2's that you see doing deliveries and trade work are likely to be the old faithful 2.4 petrol that's been around since the ark. Now that one, although it's geared down for lugging, is likely one of those motors that just goes on forever.
35% higher fuel consumption than the diesel but it is built for gas.
This is an engine that gets copied under license all over the world. Great Wall uses it I think.

Spec it's got an EGR valve too.

[Homer]

Yeah there's some great workhorse petrol engines out there Sierra. Mitsubishi is also a bit of a tart when it comes to their engines...they are in a lot of other vehicles.

I don't know what you are talking about Steane? Just lots and lots of diesel engine issues and disappointment is all I'm reading....every day

[Steane]

No bugger ever does...

True but how waterproof are all the ECU electrical connections for fuel, airflow, boost etc?
Hopefully they are well sealed but with the tiny currents it only takes a bit of moisture to spoil the signal. Submerging them in the tropics would test them out, I assume they passed that test?

[Cowboy Dave]

This thread should keep you happy then Homer http://www.newtriton.net/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=11634

[Homer]

I'm onto it mate I can tell you ...about time someone posted something about a petrol...too bad it's not a V6 though

I figured after 62 pages of how to install an EGR blank plate some comedic value was required

If you aint figured it out by now you aint gunna....
