Hi,

My Tarago has just blown the high pressure oil hose after being in for a service back in December 2010.

You might say 'so what'??

Well this car has done 47000 Km and during the last service I was advised that there was a factory recall on the engine for this reason and they would do it.

When I went to pick the car up I was advised that they didn't have the time to do it as they were busy and would postpone it until the next service (due next month)

I asked the service guy if there was a risk of the hose blowing and he said 'not to worry' as he had never had heard of it happening.

Well I have just left my car at Hills Toyota in Mount Barker SA after speaking to a very helpful technician who just happened to be there at the time and let me bring my car inside the workshop @ 20:30 at night.

The engine bay and the rear of the car is covered in oil which is a shame because I take great care of my car and feel like I have been kicked in the guts!

The dealership in question is Northpoint Toyota Hillcrest SA.

My car is still under warranty and I was wondering where I stood as far as getting the car repaired and cleaned.

I would not recommend Northpoint Toyota Hillcrest to anyone as I have also had some 'slackness' in regards to my wife's Corolla.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Ralf..

You are the second car in Australia i have heard of it happening to. As it is a warranty required repair, they should foot the bill and have it steam cleaned. Any damages is Toyotas fault.

Thanks for your reply mate.

This disappoints me no end as I am quite 'fussy' with my cars and you could of have eaten your lunch from my engine bay.

Here she is before this debacle.

      Toyota estima raised suspension

      I love to know if he find the solution to raise his estima too. I can only manage to raise the rear of my 2008 estima with airbag installed, the front still low though.

      Toyota Landcruiser problems

      Ah yes . Oh what a reaming..... Toyota.!! I had an aftermarket electric tailgate opener fitted $1500. Closes the door from inside and out. Mines a vx. Reverse sensors only turn off with toggle with "car and witches hat" on 300. They stay off till switched back on. I put my keys in the door pocket.the jingling almost drowns out the squeaking of the middle seats I sent a hand written registered letter personally addressed to the CEO of Toyota Australia and he did not have the decency to reply. Emails go ignored Toyota Lack of Customer Experience centre inept and uneducated regarding the legislation they are required to operate under. At least the 300 here didn't have the 3.5 TT petrol. Are you listening Toyota.??? NEVER AGAIN

      200 series after market 35 inch tyres

      Ive seen a 200 with them fitted on the weekend and they were on 17s (GXL). The owner was very sheepish to say the least to pass on the info what had to be done other than some panel work on the from inner guards. 0 offset (bead lockers) and 3 inch lift and he still had rubbing. He was going to do some more panel work to allow the rubbing to not tear up inner guard (alloy plate) but it made my 200 with 20's and 2 inch lift look like a baby sitting next to it...

      300 series turbo issues

      Hope I haven't posted twice but the issue is that this happens at all and the drop in torque and AFR off the chart when it does (7th injector problem??). By the time you notice it you're in a torque hole and your DPF is starting to cough coping with the lousy mixture. Nothing to do but push more fuel in and accelerate aou of it. It happens regardless of whether you notice it or not and regardless of whether you're towing. can't be doing the DPF any good. They're $7 grand to replace. They're still selling them and not telling anybody that this "design characteristic" is what to expect from your perfectly designed engine. Hopefully dyno report is attached. Ask what your service manager thinks and watch them squirm

      Stout Owners

      Putting 15" or 16" on will only make it slower, won't have the power to pull higher gearing, trust me I know, my cousin has one. He ended up putting a 4y/ 5speed in it

      300 series turbo issues

      I have since found when it happened again on steep incline, lift foot on accelarater pedal, drops a gear and then back on the gas an no issue as is out of the rev range approx 2200 where it happens. (This is all done in a second so not a drama at all now for me when it happens)
