Towing and VSC/TRC/ABS query

Hi all. Been absent a bit lately due to family and work comitments. Anyway...I've had my 2013 Hilux D4D 3L since May and as above's reasons I was only able to tow my XT120 trailer on the weekend when fetching it from Natal caravans and Marine after it's annual service (great people and service).

Service schedule Hilux 3L D4D 4x4

Hi all My 150K km service is coming up. Taking it to my Indie and want to shop around for what I will need and start getting it bit by bit to spread the costs a bit. Anyone have the service schedule.

Re: EGR cooler/valve

So I just have the EGR blocked off. On the engine side or the exhaust side? if that makes sense.
Does it have a cooler that needs to be bypassed?

Thanks Tony

EGR cooler/valve

Hi all. Some help please. Does the 3L D4D in my Hilux have an EGR cooler/valve? My VW bus has it and I have been advised by an agent to have the cooler removed as they give trouble. I don't want the same problem on the Hilux. I think some-one said it does not have one. Is this true? Many thanks Docbos

Re: No reverse gear!

Problem solved. New gearbox put in. Running nicely and quiet!
Had no feed back about the first box but I suppose it will take time.

Re: No reverse gear!

Lol Thanks Mud Dog That's what the mechie said as well.He said he can feel nothing when putting it in reverse.Serious dropping the ball on the gearbox specialists guys. That's why he was audible at a distance from the mechie's phone. I've learnt with age not to have a meltdown as mistakes do happen....

No reverse gear!

Hoo boy. My first post here. Any boffins with an answer? Bought a 2013 Hilux 4x4 DC early May from CMH Nissan Waterfall. They sent it to Toyota Hillcrest for 140K service. It has full service history with toyota that's why they sent it there. When I got it I had Toyota test the injectors. All good a...
