Re: Toyota Hilux quote Worrying

This seems a bit extreme. I wonder what their sequence of diagnostics where. I'm not an expert but why not start with new injectors and clean oil? Did they find the compression low? Then the new rings would make sense. The turbo can surely be repaired and not replaced? Just my opinion.
