2012 Grand Starex Gold crdi AT - lossing power (Help Please)

*ebttoy: Sir, hindi ba kayo napadpad sa north lately? Baka kayo ung nakita ko.

Kasi when I was driving , I think that was near Pangasinan-La Union boundary, medyo umaga na un, meron ang bilis na vehicle that I kept on seeing in my side mirror na laging nang oovertake and laging near miss siya sa oncoming vehicles. When that vehicle got behind me, doon ko nakita sa GS siya. He passed me, I saw a VGT emblem and the color of the vehicle was black. Then he overtook a few more vehicles.

After a few kilometers nung naunahan ko na ung mababagal sa harap, nakahabol din ako sa kanya. Mamaya biglang bumagal siya ng pagka bagal bagal na halos 40 kph nalang ata. Akala ko may kasunod but when I looked, clear naman. Hindi ko maunahan kasi andaming oncoming vehicles. Mamaya nag hahazard na. Parang sa tingin ko hindi na makatakbo. Hanggang sa na unahan ko na and when I looked at my rear view mirror, lahat kami na inunahan niya, inunahan din siya. I kept on glancing on my rear view mirror, naka hazard padin kaso palayo na ako ng palayo until I couldn't see that van anymore.

Hindi kaya nag low power din un? Parang ang weird kasi na after mong unahan ung long queue of vehicles, nung nasa harap ka na, nasa 40 kph nalang ang balak mong takbo.

Sounds like the same thing that happened to CVT.

* rna800, hindi po sir ako yun. Nasa Legaspi City po yung GS ng tatay ko. I was able to use it last week when I went to the province. Medyo malayo ang accredited service center ng hyundai sa legaspi. Nasa Naga City pa, its almost 90+ kms..

Just got word from my sister na naayos na daw ng taga hyundai yung GS. Di na raw umaandar a few days ago yung GS, so pinuntahan na sa bahay ng taga hyundai. I'm still getting the specifics kung ano ginawa and update ko tong thread. Hopefully, na solve na. Minsan lang kasi gamitin yung GS. I'l advise my dad or my sis to use it muna everyday para malaman kung na solve na talaga.

Just confirmed it sa tatay ko, pinalitan daw ng fuel filter and nilinis yung EGR.... so far, ok pa daw since, for observation muna.

Main culprit talaga madalas sa mga Hyundai especially sa Grand Starex sa low power ay yung fuel filter pati EGR. I dont know sa EURO V engine. Mukhang di na kailangan linisin ang EGR since tagong tago eto.

Hmmmm, have to check the replacement frequency of the fuel filter.... Our ride is being serviced out of the casa since the last pms

Ganyan din nangyari sa GS ko. Di po pa nadala sa casa kasi umayos naman. Problema natin ngayon sarado na hyundai naga. San pablo na pinakamalapit.

May i suggest to also change your regular gas station where you fill up. Madumi siguro underground tank nila. Hanap ka ng newly built gas station at dun ka pakarga ng diesel. Also kung may unioil or seaoil sa inyo, try to fill up with euro4 or euro3 diesel only. This will help a lot in keeping your gs' egr clean. And you can also have the egr blanked para wala na magbabara, gives more power at low revs and also better fuel economy.

How do you blank the egr? Do we have to buy anything?
