After years of patient waiting, Continental Motors announced Wednesday at Aero what many diesel owners have been hoping for: significantly longer replacement cycles for its four-cylinder diesel engines. The new longer TBRs (time between replacement) extend to 2100 hours for both the CD-135 and CD-155 Continental diesels. Moreover, according to Continental CEO Rhett Ross, the engines also get longer gearbox intervals, doubling to 1200 hours from the 600 currently imposed. The new extended hours apply to new engines coming off the assembly line in Continental’s St. Egidien, Germany, factory, as well as replacements being sent to the field.
