This information is spot on.

Hi there welcome,

Normally cars that were built around 2009 onwards

are fitted with DPF. But you can check underneath if it has one.

Normally it is after the catalytic converter, there you see it.

Good luck

Hi there,

As you said valves out that you got fixed doesn't fix smoke.

But fuel lines has perished depends what you mean. If old rubber from lines

or pieces of metal got into the fuel pump that will make your engine smoke like hell mate.

Look at how clean your fuel is to run is one good thing to do. Your are looking at replacing the fuel

filter first, before you pull the Injectors and then the fuel pump out. The reason is fine bits can easily block the injectors fine holes.

But I will get it diagnosed properly step by step to a diesel workshop.

In case you need some good advise on fuel issues look up to www.cornells.com.au

Good luck!!

Hi there,

You might contact Toyota dealer and if you

give them the rego or the VIN they will help you

to replace the missing part.

Good luck

Hi there,

The ute 2017 model 2.8ltr i drive at work does also idles high at times I don't know

why it does it. It seems the way it is designed to run.  It could be over 1000x even without A/C on.

If you think it is unusual better see the dealership being still under warranty.

Good luck

Noel

Hi there,

It should be close to the flywheel supposedly

Noel

Hi John,

I drive one for work 2017 model.

I guess it is like having a day time running light.

Now all cars by law, you cannot switch it off.

Cheers

Noel

I had about 320,000 kms I towed also a tandem trailer with 
a Nissan 300ZX on it which in total approximately over 2 tons.

Take off slowly but does still goes well mate.

It was very difficult to get a double cab, auto,  ac, central lock, p/steering, CD radio, alarm 
but you be patient one will come.
Good luck

Hi there,

I had the RZN149 engine on a 1999 model. 2.7ltr. Quite durable no issues at all.
As soon as put gas hard to start b'cause injectors getting blocked so running 
in petrol quite costly drink like a horse being an older engine.

Anyway I ended up replacing the injectors and ran 100%. Cost me $40 each
replaced myself. Never burning any oil loads of staff carried heavy steal roof tops
on roof carrier. Traded in and got a diesel Pajero 09 model.

Good luck

Noel

Hi there,

I drive one at work and you really have to press

the clutch to the bottom to put into gear. I guess that's the way

they drive. A bit rough for a 2017 model overall not really big fan of it.

Cheers

Noel

Hi there,

If no mud in the engine bay and nothing suspicious around the engine

then could be no fuel coming to the pump. I suggest to do a little test

by removing the fuel filter check the condition then try to prime the pump

above the filter manually and see if fuel comes easily.

Good luck

Noel

Hi there,

Has the transmission been serviced at all?

I mean replacing the fluid and strainer.

Regards

Noel

You can try get onto the Toyota dealerships websites

you might find a good deal on second hands.

Good luck.

HI there,

If it is very loud it is more likely the symptoms of injectors operation. Which is normal. If the ticking is continuous I suggest it needs a replacement of injectors. Then I suggest you where to buy them if that's the case.

Good luck

Noel

Hi O'Neil,

These models all have this ticking noise. All diesels do it until the engine warms up. It depends how loud it is mate. Injectors could be noisy also and look for smoke from the muffler. If you suspect the injectors need replacing try to listen to each one of them with a stethoscope or a long screwdriver to your ear. Take a look at this link it might help.

G'day welcome,

I suggest you go to a good tyre store in your area.

As they come across a lot of utes like it. Then it depends

how much lift you want the ute to be. I advice not to go low profile

with huge rims. Get 16"s or 17"s with good comfortable ride 70 x 225 roughly.

hope this help. Good luck.

Hi Neil,

I don't think ecu goes to turbo timer. ECU only monitors the engine.

You can check though. You mean turbo boost indicator clock. They will have a vacuum

rubber pipe operation connected.  Hope this might help?

Noel

Hi there,

You can track the speedo cable from the firewall

to the tranny. My RZN149 didn't have electronic one.

Good luck

Noel

It could be frying a cable all the time. Make sure all starter and alternator cables are connected ok and no short

circuit somewhere around the ignition.

Better take it to electrician maybe.

Good luck

Noel

Hi my friend 

It sounds like blowing a fuse for that system when you turn the key on.

Try and check this issue 

Hope this help

Noel

Hi Mate,

You could have the trust bearing in the gearbox not engaging fully or syncro on 1st and reverse getting worn out.

Hi there,

It happened to me one day when they gave me the wrong globes. So you could have one globe with the wrong resistance that macks up the rest when they operate. Check if you have replaced a globe recently and try replace it again.

Regards

Noel

Hi there,

Check if you have bent any lines or you got dirt or mud somewhere between in the brake calipers and the pads. The brake pistons might have been stuck if rubber boots are teared off, so you will not get vacuum in the system.
