Thread: Td5 Vs Puma Economy (Gav)

With a design life of 800,000 km with most of the development done with Kero the TD5 injectors are likely a whole lot less trouble than the Puma (ducks for cover)

Much cheaper to do an injector pump on a TD5

No need to duck, history has shown how reliable the TD5 injectors are. Are chops how his puma injectors were and what they cost to replace.

And the injection pump
He was lucky it was still under warranty

Yep, Disco 2 with the TD5.

The best fuel economy I've had in the last 3000km was 11.9l/100km with the cruise set at about 103-105km/h, but it does have a roof top tent as a big parachute.
It's gone to the mid/high 12's now, but I've been doing lots of slow dirt/muddy tracks too.

I reckon it'd get a lot better with some 31's or 32's dropping the revs back a bit.

31's negligible, 32's , would be noticeably worse , and would really struggle with the rooftop tent if it has standard mapping.

TDCi injectors are $250 each. Pat
