Is the Hybrid FWD download capacity on towbar an error?
Hi all, We managed to snag a fwd Cruiser recently from a dealer. Great car but I’m reading about the tow capacity and towball download capacity and it’s 480kg for towing and 50kg download limit. This seems extremely conservative. The FWD Petrol version is 800kg tow and 85kg download. Pretty disappointed in these numbers as I added the tow hitch for $1200 just so I can add a bike rack but based on the 50kg download limit I’d be hard pressed to put 2 bikes and the rack on it. Any ideas why these numbers are so low? Download limits are usually around 10-12% of tow capacity so maybe they just haven’t considered this? -

Thanks Ashley. Got lucky last time too as it was cylinder 4 last time a coil failed. The luck will eventually run out tho... -

P0356 - Ignition Coil 'F' Primary Control Circuit/Open
Your are fortunate that cylinder 6 is easily accessible on the right hand side of Bank 2 which is the one closest to the front of the vehicle/radiator. Cylinder layout for the 2GR-FE is in the following URL: https://www.toyotanation.com/threads/location-of-cylinder-6-v6.470305/ -

Power Steering Pump Leaking
Yes repair cost would be so high it would be more than the car is worth. I wouldn't put an additive in the engine to stop an oil leak, but that's just me. If it plugs up gaps what's it doing to the rest of the engine with fine mesh filters etc. If the leak isn't bad I'd just leave it but make sure you are checking the oil every week, which you should be doing anyway without leaks. -

P0356 - Ignition Coil 'F' Primary Control Circuit/Open
Hi All, Got the above engine code driving home tonight. I know ignition coil F is cylinder 6 and it's on the front bank, just want to confirm with the brains trust that it's the cylinder on front bank on the passenger side? Been combing the workshop manual but just can't find where it shows the cylinder numbers. -

Major Oil Leak
Hi Jack. So sorry to hear that mate. If you can see metal flakes on the dipstick then I'd say the engine is toast. The VVTi system is very sensitive to low oil pressure/lack of oil. The metal flakes are most likely bearing material, either from the cams or the crankshaft. Either way you'll need a new engine or to rebuild it. Did you have the oil cooler line or the VVTi oil line replaced with full metal ones?
