June 6th, 2013 12:28 PM #3482do you mean the icon?
Stability control (ESP) indicator
While driving, it flashes during activation of the system. After switching on the ignition, if it does not illuminate or illuminates continuously while driving, this indicates a malfunction. During a malfunction, the system switches off. Have the system checked by a properly trained technician as soon as possible.
If you switch ESP off, the warning lamp will flash twice and remain illuminated. The lamp will go out when you switch the system back on or when you switch the ignition off.

Higher Euro rating (Euro IV, Euro V, and so on) means that the fuel has less sulfur particles, measured in ppm. Euro II is 500 ppm while Euro IV is 50 ppm.
It does not, however, automatically mean that fuels with higher Euro emission standards offer better performance or fuel economy versus Euro II diesels. There's the argument, however, that cleaner diesel lowers the chance for clogged injectors (which are very expensive to replace) for CRDi engines.
Thing is, cars that are brought to the PH market are already retuned to work with the diesel that we have here. Most of the diesel vehicles sold here function just as well on Euro II as they do on Euro IV diesel.
A lot of people clamor that using Euro IV diesel by the minor fuel brands offers a big boost in performance/fuel economy, but I have my reservations on it since there's always the possibility of a placebo effect since you "expect" the fuel to perform better. A single-blind test wherein someone else refuels for you would be nice, and probably the most objective way to do qualitative testing. Fuel economy can be quantitatively measured though, as long as it's done over several full tanks over the same route, since a single full tank comparison is usually prone to variance due to minor changes in traffic conditions, more than the fuel itself.
BTT: Does anyone know if AT Ranger XLT's are still available?

June 6th, 2013 04:38 PM #3485Help, anyone here who has a checklist on the 20,000 PMS and how much did ford charge you? If you check the manual you won't see a preventive maintenance schedule and parts that need replacement and inspection. Most of the vehicles i owned before have a preventive maintenance schedule in their manual. TIA

June 6th, 2013 07:17 PM #3489I have done qualitative tests on all my CRDi diesel powered vehicles with regards on the fuel efficiency. Same route and same traffic situation. On V-Power Diesel and Turbo diesel, FC was 6.7-8.0 km/L (Montero Sport), 7.0-8.2 km/L (Strada), 7.2-8.4 km/L (Trailblazer) depending on the traffic movement. On Seaoil Euro 3 diesel, FC was 7.0-8.7 km/L (Montero Sport), 7.5-9.1 km/L (Strada), 7.7-9.3 km/L (Trailblazer) depending on the traffic movement. On Unioil and Eastern Petroleum Euro 4 diesel, FC was 7.4-8.8 km/L (Montero Sport), 7.6-9.4 km/L (Strada), 8.2-9.8 km/L (Trailblazer) depending on the traffic movement.
As you can see, I have the best FC on Euro 4 diesels. That is due to it having a higher cetane number according to Unioil in their description of the EuroDieselIV. Better acceleration in my part is not a placebo effect because due to a cleaner diesel fuel, my EGR valves doesn't clogged up anymore, resulting in smooth power unlike with the Euro 2 diesels of the Big 3 which often clogs the EGR valves of my Montero and Strada, resulting in loss of power.
To answer your BTT question, yes the XLT A/T variant is still available according to my SA in Ford Global City.

Be careful with channels like "China Observer" on YouTube. There is a clear bias in their posts and...
