    Kluger Ping

    Thank you very much for the document. Not the same car.. but the motor will be the same.. I should be able to do some diagnositcs.. (I have my own oscilliscope and multi meter...etc ) easy enough to test.. I will see how hard it is to get at these things...

    Kluger Ping

    Hi To add more information.. The car had a seal leak .. a seal that is between the engine and the gearbox. This procedure involved removing the engine. This was performed under warrenty. The car is now out of warrenty. and unfortunately something I did not pick-up untill after. (as I normally run the car on 98 cotane fuel). And yes I agree about getting information on the wiring diagram will be almost impossible. This makes me think about getting onto a company that uses the Computer piggy back performce modifyer's. (make sme think that might be a real possability. as I expect the stuffing around by the toyota dealer will cost me about the same). A shame there is no real engineers in service departments that can answer a simple problem like this. As in reality it is simple.. just made difficult due to the lack of skilled people in the service departments in Toyota.

    Kluger Ping

    I have an unusual problem. I have been trying to get engine ping fixed with my kluger. The problem is due the other car pinging when using low octane fuel. If 98 octane fuel is used the car does not notably ping. I took the car to 2 Toyota dealers to be serviced and also look into the Ping problem. Unfortunately I see that technicians are not able to resolve anything that is outside the normal car maintenance. The responses I have gotten.. (1st dealer) There is no problem.. the computer says that there has been no pinging. (2nd dealer) WOW. this car is pinging. the computer says there is no pinging though. We are not sure what is exactly wrong. If you like we can try to fix this. It will cost you money for us to work on the car and try to find out what is wrong. Absolute bull**** I say. Now I am no novice to mechanics and I know what will stop this. ( retard the timing ) The timing however cannot be mechanically retarded, it is controlled by the internal computer, (using all the sensors..etc. to optimise the motor's running). So what I want is some way of getting my grubby mitts onto some wiring diagram.. software?? so I can look at fixing this myself.. ( have really really been discouraged by the quality of the service people at Toyota. meanwhile I will just run the car on 98 octane while I can see about this problem.

    kluger motor ping

    Hi Peoples.. I have an annoying ping in my Kluger .. Well ony when it is hot. Does anybody else have this motor problem.? This ping is the Engine knock .. when the timing is wrong. I know the car has knock sensor's ? but . I am not confident in these.. The last time I took the car to the Toyota service crew. They stated the computer reported no pinging in the car. I however can make the car ping consistently in certain conditions. (low rev range just when loading the car). For sure if \i use high octane fuel the ping is almost gone.. but I thin the car should be able to ajust it's fuel mapping to compensate. For sure I want to find out if I can get my grubby mits on this mapping software so I can see in detail. I should be able to re-mapthis problem out.. But that.. I guess will be the hard part. Any comments would be usefull.
