We'd like members to help compile a list of big end failures of the CRD engine. We'd like info from users on the following at least:
Failure type?
Year?
Kms?
Gearbox?
Tune?
EGR removal?
Catch can?
Service interval?
Oil weight and type used?
Location?
Tyres and diff ratios?
% time spent used under reasonable load, i.e. towing or with significant weight on board
Gus has listed the following details for his failure:
Failure type? Big end failure #3
Year? 2010
Kms? 140000
Gearbox? Auto
Tune? GDE
EGR removal? Yes through tune
Catch can? Yes provent
Service interval? 7/10,000
Oil weight and type used? Castrol Synthetic 10/30
Location? Western Aust
Tyres and diff ratios? 285/70r17 Stock diffs
Distance into trip 600km
Distance since previous oil change 700km
Speed at failure 110kph
Tell tales prior to failure nil
Codes thrown nil
% of high load 5%
Load at failure 2 people plus camping gear
Grill obstruction, Bullbar with spotlights
Trans cooler fitted No
Exhaust mods 3” dump pipe, rear muffler replaced
Ambient temp at time of failure 15’c
If we could get a decent thread going, we might be able to spot trends between the failures and work out how to circumvent them
Thanks
Sam
