Been back reading pero konti lang nababasa ko regarding the 3.0 1kd-ftv engine. For city driving, average FC is 6.8km/l? What about highway driving?

Also, mausok ba yung engine na ito?

My 2005 1KD-FTV 3.0V, average 5-7km/l city. (5 worst case bumper to bumper heavy traffic). 10-12km/l highway (NLEX SCTEX). If you can maintain 80kph, kaya maka 13-15km/l Medyo accurate naman yung front consumption monitoring doon sa may bandang gitna ng auto.

Hindi naman mausok, though nagpa linis nako EGR minsan kasi medyo hirap exhaust at visible semi-white smoke when it reached 125k odo. Part of Diesel maintenance. Then linis din tambucho once a year.

How about kung gas variant. May white smoke na rin na nalabas, normal ba 'yon?

Not normal. If there is visible smoke coming out of the pipe then that means your fuel fixture is too rich and the smoke you see the excess gas being prematurely burned.

On a normal engine, its possible to see some white smoke coming out of the exhaust but it is in cold weather like in winter in other countries.

Guy's help naman. What shocks, coilspring did you use to solve the harsh ride of the fortuner. I have a 2014 model G. TIA!

So kailangan ko magpalit ng gas na ginagamit? Or may ipapalinis lang? 'Yung usok naman na white kapag unang start ng kotse, then kapag nirerevolution ko. Once na magstart na tumakbo okay naman.

Saan kayo nagpalinis ng egr sir? And any common problem sa 1kd?

For the consumption, 7km/l for city driving is ok i think. Full time 4wd kasi diba?

Anyone tried installing rims from FJ cruiser ?

Planning to install a set on my 2006 Fort if I can find one.

Any comment whether the rim size will suit the Fort's body design ?

Anyone had oiling/greasing of the ball joints (arms and steering)?

How about the properller shaft ?

I asked the SA at Otis and he claimed that these are needed. I find it hard to believe. Is it true?
