Lexusgs430: The poster did not mention engine management light been illuminated or not, whereas scanning is probably the cheapest and quickest option if he feels the consumption is on the high - side, which is why I pointed him in that direction. I have a scanner for personal use, and it is an important tool for all car owners with OBD ports. How much did u buy ur scanner? Which product? |

Car Talk › Re: What Is Really Wrong With a V6 Engine? by Olubachar(m): 6:05pm On May 03, 2012 |
Ikenna351: Have you ever owned a V6? Or you are just saying what clowns that call themselves mechanics in Nigeria told you? Or are you basing your belief on complain from people who abused their V6s, with lack of proper maintenance & come back to blame their innocent cars? Dont always believe what you read!
Like i said in my previous post here, if V6 isnt that good, durable & fuel efficient, then my present 2 cars wouldnt have been V6s. This last Easter break, I travelled with one of them to East from Abuja. On coming back, I left Enugu at 6am & got to Area 1, Garki, Abuja at 12.30pm on the dot, with only one full tank (less than 7 hrs drive) . For those that complain that V6s are gas guzzelers, go figure!
Ever listened to a V6 engine song while you rev it? Oh! It can be so sweet! Most V6s i know are torquey engines. They are very good for overtaking; design for hiways or long distance trips. With a V6 on highway, to overtake a car on a single lane, all it needs is a small flex of throttle pedal & the car will shoot out like rocket & you will be so amazed how the vehicle you just overtook will be fading away behind you. Unlike I4s that you will have accelerate hard, to gain high hp before you could sluggishly overtake a car before you. What it takes to overtake a vehicle on highway faster is engine torque, not hp, which most I4s lack (though some newer I4s have improved on the torques). The only I4 that are as torquey as V6s, sometimes better, are Diesels. Yes, they can so good. But Nigerians dont drive Diesels. Reasons? Long strory for another thread.
The only time you would know how underpowered most I4s are is when loads are added to the engine, especially, when you switch on A/C. You would start & keep wondering where all the oomph or power has gone.
But the fact remains, some V6s consume fuel more than the others. First, auto transmission V6s will consume more fuel than the manual trans V6s counterparts. Some V6s models of some brands consume fuel more than the others. A faulty V6 engine management would guzzle fuel, if not fixed, likewise the I4 counterparts. When out of spec or non-factory tyre sizes are mounted in a V6 or I4, it increases the car's fuel consumption. If the tyre is under-inflated, it will increase the fuel consumption, be it V6 or I4. If you drive aggressively with V6 in the cities, it will guzzle fuel like Hell.
I drive gently with my V6 when am in the city. I always try not to rev beyond 3k rpm, even though it can be very tempting to push beyond that, knowing there are so much power left unused. But it helps with the economy when driven in cities. With my driving style in the cites, i average almost the same mpg with the I4s. But once i hit expressway or highway, I would push it for the Hell of it. 
V6s are fun cars, especially the manual trans ones that give room for stunts to be put on those wheels (when in the mood) with aggressive gears shifting & smart clutch engagements, getting the full power of V6 on the wheels (which is why my 2 V6s are manual trans) . V6s are designed to give one driving them some driving pleasures one could ever imagine. The thing is, once you experience the power & driving pleasures a clean V6 gives, you will swear never to go back to I4.
Ikenna. My 98 model pathfinder consumes fuel like fire. This motor consumed 37 liters from Ibadan to Akure( 2hrs journey) and the car was toksly purchased some few months ago. I'm even afraid to purchase ''any'' V6 car again. |

Lexusgs430: V8 in my summation, are one of the best engines out there. Three points to note -: (1) cost of fuelling ie consumption (2) our mechanics scared of the V8 under the bonnet (3) if the engine goes wrong, would be best to get another better engine than repair  Lexusgs430: V8 in my summation, are one of the best engines out there.
