Not every Estima is fitted with the 2GR-FE and U660e drivetrain. This is where you have to take care that information on the internet is applicable to your specific vehicle.

Why is my car misfiring when cold? Suspect a loose connection/weak power supply to either the fuel injector or the ignition coil when temps are cold. Use noid light or test light to check the signal from engine computer to injector and to the coil when misfire is present. If both are firing/working correctly, inspect for cylinder damage/low compression.20 Feb 2021 When weather is cold it starts and misses for a minute or 2 JustAnswer https://www.justanswer.com › Car Questions Engine hunting and surging at idle is usually caused by a fuel delivery, air leak, or governor system problem. Cleaning/overhauling the carburettor, adjustment of the governor, and/or changing the air filer may be required. Why does my engine's RPM seem to fluctuate (runs rough)?

Yes, cold. Ambient temperature would have been 25C, here in Brisbane, QLD. Coefficient of thermal expansion for oils and transmission fluids is around 0.0007 per degree C (0.07%/C). So, if you've got 12 liters in the pan, it will expand 0.0084 L per degree C. AFT operating temperature hovers between 175°F to 200°F (79°C to 93°C), but it's important to note that specific values can vary based on the make and model of your vehicle. U660e fluid capacity including the torque convertor is approx. 6.3 litres. Have fun playing with the data.

Welcome to the Forum.

My question is "How many of those 700 were actually serious buyers and wanted to come and view the vehicle?" There is talk and there is action. When I bought my "project" vehicle in 2016, I viewed the ad, contacted the seller and made an inspection for a Wednesday evening, made the deal that night and back Saturday with the Bank Cheque to collect the vehicle. I have also gone on interstate road trips with a friend where he has purchased "vintage" motorcycles online. No doubt there would have been a few emails and phone calls to get his deals done.

If I had to buy tyres as in this month, it would most likely be: https://www.bobjane.com.au/a/215-60r16-tyres/bridgestone/bridgestone-potenza-adrenalin-re003-215-60r16-95v-promo/8168?variant_id=35986 Bit of a shame there is not a current promotion for Continental, then I would be considering: https://www.bobjane.com.au/a/215-60r16-tyres/continental/continental-ultracontact-uc7-215-60r16-95v/39086?variant_id=42146

I looked at the Penrite website and there was no preference given for either option. I then viewed a few other internet posts about ATF and nothing decisive except that DEX III is a higher viscosity and a potential lifespan of 100K miles i.e. 160,000 Kms. Finally checked SuperCheap Auto and AutoBarn. DEX III is cheaper and can also be used as a power steering fluid in your vehicle. Just did another lube guide check https://www.datateck.com.au/Lube/PenriteAus/ The ATF MHP has a Preferred highlight. In conclusion, my preference would be DEX III based upon price but I would select the ATF MHP if the gear shifts really need to be a lot smoother.

I did a drain and drop of the transmission ATF today and actually measured it. 1.250+1.050=2.3 litres. When I last did this ATF change, I did do the procedure to get the correct ATF level then added 200ml as per the service bulletin. This is for my 40 series Aurion with a build date of Oct.2006.

Hopefully, some actual Toyota Fortuner owners will share their experiences and opinions. In the meantime, these URLs may be of interest. Best to confirm whether that DPF switch has been fitted. https://australiancar.reviews/recalls-faults-toyota-an160-fortuner-2015-on/ https://australiancar.reviews/review-toyota-an160-fortuner-2015-on/

As a suggestion, you could considered using the following product or something similar for installation in the wheel well area. The inner wheel plastic covers would have to be temporarily removed so that the sound absorbing material can be attached against the cabin wall. https://www.jaycar.com.au/self-adhesive-sound-absorbing-foam/p/AX3662

Welcome to the Forum. Interested to view a post about your vehicle purchase and future posts about your opinions and experiences with your Toyota. I had Honda before changing over to Toyota and the main factor was the new purchase price difference. Reliability, safety and low cost of ownership are my key requirements.

Never had a vehicle with a supercharger so learnt something new about requiring oil. I thoroughly endorse the post by Baxter190388 which is based upon his personal experience. As for the supercharger oil change interval, have a read of this URL. https://www.w-body.com/topic/21836-eaton-m90-supercharger-oil-change/ Depending upon the condition of the used oil, consider repeating the oil change after a short interval e.g. drive around the block, next day or next week. 100K km oil change interval should be OK for normal driving but if more "spirited" then an annual change may be more appropriate. Just for background information purposes, I found this URL to be useful.` https://toyota-club.net/files/faq/04-09-10_faq_sc-oil_eng.htm As a parting comment, I am thinking that the supercharger is more mechanically similar to a transmission or a differential. Therefore, engine oil is highly unlikely to be a substitute for supercharger oil.

From my eBay watchlist: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/253060897347

100% agree and support the need to use the hub spacers for safety. Without the hub spacers there is more pressure on the wheel studs which is not an issue until the studs shear off or nuts loosen and there goes the wheel. Fortunately not direct experience just recalling internet posts explaining about hub spacers and why wheels can come off vehicles.

I suspect some spirited short distance urban driving and quite possibly lots of highway driving in that displayed 573 kms. Also the battery size in a hybrid is relatively small such that it can only operate on full electric for a short distance before the engine kicks in to recharge it. Hopefully, hybrid owners will post based upon their actual real life experience as to whether 7.5L/100km is a cause for concern or not.
