Gday, I have a 2008 SR5 Turbo Diesel Dual Cab Hilux. I recently installed driving lights and I noticed some radiator fluid on the engine pulleys, it looks as though the water pump is leaking but I can't see a lot because its in the engine. Is it a major job to repair? Or should I take it to a Toyota dealership

If it's like mine, you'll need a puller to get the front pulley off--abt $60- for a doves' foot type, and 2 bolts at least 70x8mmx (1.25mm pitch?) a few good tools and a few hours to do it. I would also replace the cam belt at this time, unless you KNOW it's new. belt Rollers ditto. It's not worth doing all that work and only half doing it. Plenty of online how to's. A dealer will prob cost $6-$800-possibly more. As long as the new belt is made by Gates or A..... it won't matter where you buy it. Chinese pumps seem to be ok, but may have slightly shorter life spans. Make sure you get the right one!!!!! Do not drive on falling coolant levels-head/motor replacement is just too expensive to risk it! keep us posted, ask for help as needed.

get an engine/car repair CD from ebay. USE it!!

Hi Manxman thanks for replying! I have a puller for the job. I am an apprentice outdoor power equipment mechanic what tools I don't have I can borrow from work. I was looking at manuals I found this one http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/171284584890 this seems to have all the chapters I require and its the cheapest :D

I was thinking of buying the water pump from Toyota I haven't been quoted a price yet but we will see. Belts, Pulleys etc. I can get from suppliers through work.

Hah yeah I haven't bothered calling them. I found someone who claims to be selling genuine parts and after further research it checks out. If any one has had any luck with the seller let me know.

      Transmission clunk

      Hi all, Recently completed a long drive. Check engine light came on, traction control off light came on, unable to use cruise control. Pulled immediately over all oil level were good and no leaks. then when accelerating through the gears ( automatic Prado ) hearing and feeling a clunk on each gear ( like it was hard to select). Prado is unable to go into 5th & 6th gear. Maxed out in 4th gear at 90km/h @ 2500rpm. Later in the drive DPF light came on though I have a July 2015 build. DPF introduced in October 2015 that I am aware off. Any ideas at all would be grateful!

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Yes, with 12v applied to the pump you can definitely hear it whirring if it is working. Kind regards Geoff

      Yaris Cross roof rack

      Hi all, I’m looking at purchasing a Yaris Cross GXL however I can’t seem to find any official roof rack for the car On the Toyota website it doesn’t show a roof rack protruding like the Corolla Cross GXL I know you can get roof racks that slide under the door however I don’t see any official listing Interestingly enough Toyota offer an official bike rack for the Yaris, Corolla hatch etc but not the Yaris Cross Rhino-Rack offer a third party roof rack for the “TOYOTA Yaris Cross Gen1 5dr SUV Bare Roof” but I’m a bit hesitant to use a 3rd party roof rack on a brand new car. Do you know if this would cause any warranty issues etc? Another option would be to get a Corolla Cross GXL. However the Yaris Cross would be perfect if it could have a roof rack as I don’t need the extra size, engine and price point of the Corolla Cross. Happy to hear your thoughts

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      I've just got a price from Toyota up here in QLD for the whole replacement unit... (OUCH!!!! 😭) I would share more information on my investigation so far, but apparently, I am a spam bot and can upload pictures, but not write the story to go with it.... without being pulled up for it...... I can tell you that I am getting no suction on what I believe is the fuel line from the sub to main tank. I am however getting 13v on the fuel pump connection. It comes on for a moment before going off. I'm guessing because of this error. Perhaps the rail stops delivering power..... My next step is to apply 12v to the pump and see if I can hear it in the tank making any noise. Surely, I'd be able to hear something with the car not running - if it is working?

      Hilux 2.7 1998 has knock in motor

      A recently purchased 2.7 hilux seemed okay, but when started up (warm) a clunk happened then a loud knock started. The coolant drained out, perhaps into the engine, but being unfamiliar with the vehicle I am unsure what has happened. Any suggestions and possible remedies would be appreciated. Higgyboys

      2017 Kluger AWD. Noise in Cabin - Bearing/Diff. Not Sure.

      Chiming in from the States here, I have a question. I am assuming your Kluger's have the same UA80 transmission as we do? When you say the transfer case was replaced, was it the physical "transfer case" or the transmission? We have similar issues here where the UA80 starts "whining" needing a complete transmission replacement.

      Rock sliders installation

      I've recently had a company install a set of Phat rocksliders and they've told me they hadn't fitted the centre bracket on the left side due to lack of clearance from the fuel tank and chassis rail. Is there a way to install this without dropping the fuel tank?
