Of course there’s also the pick-up body style, which comes in extra cab or double cab body styles only. It’s more suitable if you want to fit a canopy or hard tonneau cover.

Assuming this service runs $400 each time (since the throttle body alone is $217), then you are now averaging 39mpg and 34mpg. Which is probably what you’d get from a simple port-injected engine that wouldn’t have this issue. This sort of maintenance doesn’t fit the mission profile of a commuter car like the Fit. It’s like equipping it with a DSG that needs $400 service every 30K miles.

Now Kia is acknowledging that the engine replacements “may not have been properly performed in all cases by Kia dealers,” according to a company statement issued Wednesday but dated Jan. 11. The high pressure fuel pipe may have been damaged, misaligned or improperly tightened while the engines were being replaced, the statement said. That can allow fuel to leak and hit hot engine parts, causing fires.

By earning the coveted award of Bosch Service Centre of the Year, Reef Fuel Injection Services has been recognised for its quality workmanship and responsiveness to customers.

The HPDI 2.0 system in the field today delivers a CO2 reduction of up to 20 percent. In the case of renewable natural gas, the system can achieve a reduction of almost 100 percent.

The HPCR system consists of a high-pressure fuel rail common to all the injectors. Fuel is supplied to the high-pressure fuel rail by a high-pressure supply pump. Depending on rpm and engine load, the pressure in the rail can exceed 30,000 to 40,000 psi. The injectors are electronically controlled, and each has its own firing mechanism or solenoid.

Diesel bug is almost alien-like. It’s a gigantic colony of bacteria and fungi that loves to chow down on diesel! Since it is a colony of billions upon billions of individuals, it forms a great big sticky mess. Your vehicle can actually get an infection, just like you. The organisms are often found in low-turnover bulk fuel storage tanks contaminated with water. Flushing alone won’t remove the sticky little buggers, and what’s worse is that the fungi form spores. These spores can hang around for years and grow when conditions are right.

Jerks and stutters and stalls, oh my! Clunker alert! The 2011 Fiesta has hundreds and hundreds of files racked up against it, and consumers don’t lie. If your Fiesta bucks like a stallion when you throw it into a drive on a freezing-cold morning, a smoking-hot afternoon (or anything in between), it’s not your Ford “just being a Ford.” (Or is it?)

The market is mainly driven by a large number of sales of automobiles. Also, the growing emphasis on efficiency of a vehicle, rising popularity of brushless electric fuel pumps, and the evolving trend towards electrification of vehicle components are also propelling the growth. However,

The chain drive sprocket, the bearings, and thrust washers are shared between the engines, while the crankshaft pulley is not.
