Im looking to buy a Hilux SR5 from about 2009 models up to new and i was wondering.

Does the diesel engine have a DPF Diesel Particulate Filter and if so has anyone had any problems with it?

Thanks

Much appreciated

They have a particle filter in the fuel tank pickup, and an additional filter in the engine bay. The engine bay filter also has a water sensor built in that alerts you on the dash if water is detected, in which case you have 1km to pull over before it gets to the engine (and causes all kind of havoc)

Unfortunately the dash warning is only a light, so I can imagine it'd be very easy to not notice for a period of up to several kms, however there is a common mod that connects that light to a buzzer.

Mostly the filters in the diesel Hiluxs are fine and don't cause any dramas, that being said though they've often (just like every other diesel ute) considered to be insufficient and many add an additional filter in for added protection.

With the diesel Hilux you're main concern is the injectors and whether or not they're in spec. Only Toyota or a diesel specialist can check this for you properly, but if they're out it's a very expensive repair (ie $3000 is cheapest I've seen).
