Hei guys ive had my 2006 3.2TD GLXR for almost a year now and as it is the first diesel car i ever owned it took a while to realize that maybe its not performing as it should. When i got it i thought its just a diesel i cant expect the same response as a petrol engine but after driving couple of friends cars that are also TD 4x4 like navara 2.5 i realized my triton is just way to lazy.
Not sure is it just me but it feels like sometimes it runs and sounds so much better than other times it feels like a 5 tone truck. Low end specially under 2000rpm feels like the car is struggling so if i change gears at arround 2500rpm and the next gear starts at lets say 1700rpm it takes a few seconds (even with fully pressed pedal) for the car to reach those 2000rpms and its then when i can finally feel it actually accelerating .So i have to change gears at 3000rpms for it to feel like its not struggling, guess thats why im getting 13.9L/100kms.
Also does anyone know is there a standard for extended fuel tanks how big are they? And how much diesel should be in the tank when the light comes on, as mine is extended but i bought it second hand and have no idea . Im guessing 120l as if I drive a bit after the light comes on i usually fill 105-110L.
thanks
