Frontera 2.3TD - Coldstart

[@mikmazzucchelli6888]

It's a very good diesel motor, even now. :)

[@ThePeca1988]

Its not a bad engine, but it could take a bit newer common-rail diesel, that would do wonders

Hello there, could I use a fragment of your video for my coldstarting compilation? Of course I will put a link to your original video in the description, increasing the original’s popularity too. Thanks a lot for you answer in advance :) Do you offroad the car? Does the 2.3TD have enough power and is it reliable?

@@WymiataczPlays It's not a problem, you can use it, the other one too if you want to, where it smokes like crazy 😄🍻 Mine was great, i loved it, i drove it for a long time with a fixed wastegate, and the mechanical dieselpump adjusted to give it more fuel, so it was s lot more powerful than stock 😁 It never had any serious issues, and did its job pretty well. I wasn't offroading that much, but i drove plenty on ice and on pretty substantial snow, and it was excellent, the only thing to look out for was always the lack of a middle diff, so there was no "4x4" enabled on roads where you have to turn and the tires can grip 😬😀

Ciao peca .. sul mio 2.3 Frontera a caldo al minimo mi si accende la spia ad intermittenza pressione olio .. a freddo va bene ma a caldo lampeggia quando è ferma .. sotto ho montato il 10w60 Castrol e sembra migliorare ma solamente a regimi medio alti la pompa olio è introvabile; il 15 w50 potrebbe migliorare la situazione ? BARDAHL a livello di pressione oppure aspetterei l estate ?

[@ThePeca1988]

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)

@@ThePeca1988 ciao il mio mecca L ha smontata tutta e gli ingranaggi ⚙️ sono consumati insieme al albero e non riesce a rimediare .. se si ferma cambierò motore magari con u qualcosa che non sia Opel 😁 grazie peca .. tu che montavi sul 2.3

@@danielemercuri1268 anche questa è una soluzione 😀 al giorno d'oggi puoi inserire un VW 1.9 TDI praticamente in qualsiasi cosa😀

Thanks you men

what oil pressure do you have when engine is warm at idle?

[@ThePeca1988]

At idle when it's warm it sits just above the red line at the bottom, about a millimeter above it. I think its a little low, but no oil pressure warning light yet, so i guess its enough. When the engine is completely warm i get to around halfway on the oil pressure gauge @ 2,500 rpm. Some say halfway is 300kpa, and under it the next line is 150kpa, and that in higher rpm ranges you need at least 200kpa, or else the engine will starve of oil (first sign of it is a loud valvetrain), but who knows, its hard to find any certain info on these engines. A little thicker oil is the first solution, though the downside is that you have to be real easy on the engine until its warm, and the oil flows

[@ThePeca1988]

By the way, the worn gearset in the oil pump is usually the culprit of the low oil pressure (in rare cases the crankshaft bearings or the pressure regulator valve). The good thing is that these gears are a standard, universal size, and there are plenty of places to get a new set from. Its on my list to change them, but for now i don't let the car idle for too long, just to be on the safe side

Tacno 20 sekundi greaci rade, a sijalica izgase. Za4-6sec, sacekaj slobodno 18sec i pali :), ja imam problem sa moim, neznam do cemu je. Ali kad zapali ondak celi dan nema problem.

[@ThePeca1988]

Imao sam i ja probleme sa grejacima. Na kraju je bio onaj veliki crni stekker (ulazi i izlazi 3 kabla). To sam izvadio, kabla sam spojio direkt (bez ikakvih stekker). Najverovatnije imas isti problem 🍻🍻

@@ThePeca1988 to sam resio odavno, ali ujutro vergla a nece da upale, pa nizbrdo upali odma, baterija ima jaka, bosh pumpa ok, misim da jeftini greaci su problem, neznam dali da uzmemem ovi beru 15e jedan ili lupanje pare bezveza bi bilo

[@ThePeca1988]

@@aleksandarmakedonski8282 samo pogledaj kolko trosi grejac, ako trosi dosta, onda bi trebao da bude ok. Moguce je da je problem kod gorivo. Na primer kod mene cuje se neki elektricna pumpa (najverovatnije u tank), mozda to ne radi kod tebe, ili vec slabo, pa traje malo vise dok motor povuci gorivo.

@@ThePeca1988 pa neznam dal ovo ok, probao sam pred grejac kablove izvadeni i stize 11,5 v , kad povezem grejaci kaze 9.5 pa ide do 10v,

@@aleksandarmakedonski8282 kod mene je isto, oko 10v pre start. Trebao bi da bude uredu

the battery is discharged

[@ThePeca1988]

Its the starter motor, a little slow, plus the charging gauge (voltmeter) isnt always working
