Hi All I am a newbie

Got a work horse Hiace 420K recently had a service buy the same mechanic who has looked after it from the day i bought it brand new.

Brakes changed just before christmas took longer to stop , so had the rear shoes and cyclinders replaced, front pads replaced. Mechcanic calls  saying it hasn't improve the feel of the pedal and travel, should proberbly change out the master cylinder could be the culprit considering the KMs and its never needed to be touched. So that was done all bled properly ...Not any better. Having checked the booster by disconecting the vac line pedal stays hard ruled that out.

Mechanic suggested it could be the ABS Module not working correctly, So he sent me to a specalist Brake and Clutch place after speaking to them we decided to get a ABS module from a wrecker as i needed to get it back on the road to earn a living asap. They were very busy i had to wait some time to get in but they have improved the pedal with the replacement ABS Module .

I say improved by about 40 percent  it seems to be working alot better ( the pedal dosen't go all the way to the floor like it used to before the ABS swap) but the pedal just dosent seem right.

I have spoken to others who say that the brakes are often soft on the Hiace and that i didn't notice it as drive with heavy work books on .

Having not replaced the booster could this be the problem? i was lead to belive that they either worked or didn't. Vac hose disconnected pedal is hard engine running.Have noticed today that there is a whooshing sound when you pump the pedal (engine off) (i missed this before due to road noise , radio etc) is this normal ?

Can booster provide to much boost?

there is no noticable change in revs at idle with it being a diesel.

No warning lights have come on at any stage . The system has been bled several times no air , by both my mechanic and the specalist. ABS is working .

Can anyone make any suggestions? has anyone ever heard of a simalar issue.

 

Help needed driving me nuts

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
