Nice, i also like diesels, they have great fuel economy with a bunch of torque compared to their gasoline counterparts, but i'm also quite afraid of them, they are a real pain to maintain at this age, starter motors, gaskets, headgaskets, pumps, and so on usually go out at some point. Of course gasoline engines are also prone to those problems, but at a much lower rate, plus they are also a lot easier to work on. Of course your fuel economy goes out the window too 😅

Whew.....those diesels were not know for reliability

@@turnne The first 5.7 were junk, the later ones were ok, not great , but ok. I didn't have any issues with mine. It has a 30 gallon tank on it and got 34 mpg, and diesel was under a dollar

@@RJ1999x I remember testing driving an 81 Grand Prix diesel with T tops...two tone brown..LOL. This was about 1986-87. It was VERY inexpensive, if I recall correctly like $4000, but everyone I knew told me to run as fast as I could from a GM diesel at the time

@turnne they had a bad reputation, and the resale value of a diesel was about 1/3 of a gas. I bought it used, pretty cheap, was a beautiful car, loaded , no T tops, I wanted the size, and a coup, and I wanted the fuel economy.

No, not anymore, i kept the 2.4i instead, its in far better shape, especially the interior

Yes! And it's also a lot stronger and much more useful! 🥂

Hi! I think i had this question under one of my videos a few months ago 🙂 i have never got myself a 2.5tds because i've seen a lot of them, most of them were pretty cheap with blown headgaskets and sometimes other engine issues, like faulty fuel injectors, and i thought the 2.5tds is best to be left alone, and instead go for some other engine variant. I wouldn't get one unless it's really cheap and you can do some major repairs on it later when it needs to be done. If yours has to be diesel i'd rather go with the 2.8tdi, as the ooold 2.3td starts to show its age too. If the petrol is also ok, then it's the 2.0i, it's a rather good engine, and it's still relatively common, so the parts supply shouldn't be dried up or the parts shouldn't be needlessly expensive. All in all, what i've seen and heard the tds engine is not the best option for longevity, unless you get lucky with it. Otherwise it has good power, and about as good as the 2.2d in the B Frontera later on

@@ThePeca1988 thanks for the answer my friend. I also looked at the Cherokee xj, same diesel, but they are more expensive and hard to find in good condition

@@kendatires3646 cheers mate 🥂 hope you'll find yourself something suitable

Nah, i always put up with the problems it offered. But not the starter motor, thats too much 😅 to replace the starter motor on an old 2.3td you have disassemble a lot in the engine bay, including the exhaust manifold on the block, because ot overlaps with the starter 😅😅

I honestly think my phone couldnt actually record it 🤣

Nem volt rossz, de sajna nincs semmi hely, egyik oldalon a torzió, a màsikon meg a hajtàs, ez volt a lehető legnagyobb "dob" ami oda befért az egész hosszon. próbàltam még tompítót rakni a végébe (mint a motorokon szokàs), ami segített 1500as fordulatig, aztàn viszont még rosszabb volt 😂 Most mégig van vezetve megint a remdszer, és csak egy gyàri dob van rajta, meg a katalizàtor nem került vissza, viszont a gyàri dob hatalmas, és a csőméret is szűkül a végéig, igy megint tök csendes a gép. Nekem nagyon gyanús hogy ilyen kis hosszon meg ilyen kis helyen lehetetlen épeszű hangerőt kicsikarni belőle 😀

I'm sure there are plenty other options, but this is the most cheap and simple there is, unless you find an original one 😀 for every other solution you need something extra, like couplers, extra hoses, redirecting the flow, etc. This is as simple as it gets, and simplicity is always just as important as the solution itself 🥂

Thanks mate 🍻 hope you'll find yourself a nice one! Are you considering diesels or petrol ones too?

@@ThePeca1988 Well, in my price range and my country the offer is quite limited. Both have some advantages and disadvantages, so I'll probably go with the type I'll find eventually. But the engine sound of the diesel is not as "bad" as I've expected.

@@vonmeier in my opinion the 2.2dti is the best and cheapest diesel to maintain, most parts are still produced, available and mostly are cheap, for the older diesels like the 2.3dt and the rare 2.8tdi you will find yourself most likely in a struggle, as parts are slowly becoming out of stock everywhere, or if you find it, the prices will be astronomical. The only problem though with the 2.2dti is that it's only available on the second generation of Fronteras. What in itself isn't a huge deal, but they are very rust prone in climates where there is salt on the roads in the winter. Rear wheel arches are mostly gone (but the rust is hidden behind the plastics), and the frame itself is also usually rusted out in the rear. Inspect it very carefully for rust before buying!! In my honest opinion the best thing you can buy from the Fronteras is the short wheelbase "A" Frontera with the 2.0i petrol engine. Bulletproof engine, and quite simple too, and it also has enough power for the small short wheelbase body. I had one, and it was quite good, i just needed cargo space so i went with the long wheelbase

@@ThePeca1988 Thank you so much for your reply, I really appreciate it. Most of the people I know - rightfully so, haha - try to talk me out of buying such an old car, it's nice to find someone with positive attitude. I'm planning to use the car for cargo as well, so I have to stick with the longer models. There is a 2.3D from 1994 for sale, I'll check that probably. I'm a bit scared of the parts problem, but I just don't like modern cars at all, I have to gamble on this.

@@vonmeier it'll be ok, if it works allright then it will most likely work for the next few years just as well. The good thing about these old cars is that there is not much to go wrong, and most of the stuff just works. They were made differently back then, so maintenance is also usually easy . If you look at that 2.3td, the first thing should be is to try a coldstart, that way you will know if the glowplugs are ok or not, then just let it run (listen to the engine for noises, timing chain rattle, and so on), test drive, and then let it run even more, that way you'll find out if the cooling is ok (thermostat, cooler, heater core, etc.), then when its at operating temperature (after the test drive) look at the oil pressure, thats pretty important, there is a gauge on the instrument panel, and if it shows barely any pressure at idle then its bad news. It will maybe drive another year or two, but not much more. As this old diesel achieves oil pressure not just via the oil pump, but also the main bearings. Also, at coldstart it should be pegged to the max (as the oil is cold, and makes a lot more pressure). If these gauges don't work be absolutely suspicious!

CIAO! prima o poi dovrai riparare la pompa dell'olio, ma ovviamente fino ad allora l'olio ad alta viscosità aiuta ad aumentare la pressione. se non trovi una pompa sostitutiva o dei suoi componenti da nessuna parte, puoi misurare gli ingranaggi al suo interno e acquistare qualcosa di universale, poiché la maggior parte delle pompe dell'olio utilizza questo tipo di ingranaggi (e talvolta anche della dimensione esatta)

A 2.4i kezd màr kőkorszaki technika lenni, elég stabil konstrukció, és nem rossz motor, ha baja van se túl vészes vagy dràga, viszont az alkatrészellàtàs màr akadozóban, vannak dolgok amiket màr hasznaltan se nagyon kapni, vagy csak aranyàron 😬 a motor maga egy pofonegyszerű konstrukció, làncvezérelt, minimàlis sallangokkal, viszont őszintén szólva kicsit gyengécske a nagy kasztnihoz, és talàn ez is a legnagyobb negatívuma. A fogyasztàsa teljesen àtlagos 9-10L, persze összkerékhajtàssal ez lehet nyugodtan 14-15is. Az Opel nyolc szelepes 2.0i motorja viszont vilàgi. Persze mostanra màr idősek, igy semmire sincs garancia, viszont még rengeteg szalad belőlük, az alkatrészellàtàs bőséges, és ez a motor talàn az Opel elmúlt 30-40 évének a legjobb motorja. Elég erős magàhoz kèpest, a kis 2 ajtós rövid kasztnit szépen viszi (persze nem sportkocsi, de azért adja). Nagyon megbízható motorok, és ezt úgy mondom hogy legalàbb 5 ilyen motoros kocsi volt a csalàdban + az én rövid tengelytàvú 2.0 Frontim pàr éve. Én szerettem és elégedett is voltam vele, motorikusan szinte bombabiztos jàrgàny, és ha baj van sincs baj, akàr ha el is szakadna a vezérszíj (mert ez szíjas), a dugattyú sosem éri el a szelepeket, így àltalàban baja sem lehet 👌 Persze jól nézd àt, bàrhogy is sikerül csakis àllapotot vegyél 🍻
