I posted in another thread asking if the 3316 was intercooled and DI, direct injected because that is what the Mahindra web site stated in a comparison to other manufacturers. I sent an E-MAIL using the website links and did ultimately receive a response after about two weeks; I got my answer here very quickly. There is no intercooler, and it is indirect injected.
I replied back to that Mahindra E-MAIL that they need to correct their website as it was in error. It has not been corrected.
I also tried to use the 24/7 user site but as others have reported I also got the response that my SN did not exist. I used the E-MAIL contact but am still waiting on a response after 1 week.
If my attachment works there will be an image of the incorrect comparison. I probably should say incorrect title information about the 3316 HST as I don't believe the comparison is incorrect.
Don't believe the error is insignificant? One may not want an intercooler as one more thing to get dirty if air to air type; or one may want same for the performance advantages. DI is generally more efficient (although possibly more noise ignoring current modern electronic injection) than IDI and pre-combustion chambers. Neither were a stopping point for my purchase but I don't like to see incorrect information on a manufacturer's website. I also believe if a manufacturer can not respond to E-MAIL in a timely manner they should consider removing any form of E-MAIL links.
So far I have 6 hours; I guess 5 are from me.... and am happy with the 3316 HST. I had no urgent need of the 24/7 owner's care; just wanted to see what was available.
My suggestion to Mahindra is to get a new web master and do something to improve E-MAIL response. I have no issue with my dealer and he will be my first link in case of issues with the tractor.
