Re: hilux wan't drive straight

Oh no. I'm born in the Netherlands, and there we have the same problems as here. However, there is a difference. If I had this problem in the Netherlands and go back to the garage with it, they try to solve it. If you give a hint what could go wrong they take it serious, and use this hint. Here they...

Re: hilux wan't drive straight

Happy end ? I prommissed to update, so here I am. After a while I just give the right wheel some more toe-in. And the car is driving as before! I still wanted answers why they did not adjust the car as it should. Technical were the reasons Toyota gave stupid, more stupid or extreme stupid. And almos...

Re: Left rear brake bonding/catching

Is this solved already? Otherwise it could be one of the brakelines is stucked. The rubber hoses sometimes will swell up inside. If you press the brakepedal the brakingfluid is pressed through the small hole, but has to float back only by pressure of a little spring. So the wheel cilinder is staying...

Re: Smoke after gasket replacement

Henk, Rudi has a 2.2 petrol motor (4Y). The white smoke is oil being burned and he's using oil. Apparently the only thing that has changed is the head gasket was replaced, so the other causes like rings and valve stem seals are unlikely candidates. :oops: :oops: :oops: Is there a hole were I can di...

Re: Smoke after gasket replacement

White smoke can als be unburned diesel.
Drinking oil should give blue smoke.

However: when a diesel not get enough diesel is sucks oil.

So my thinking is the timing belt a thooth wrong or the diesel pump is moved.

Re: 2.5 Hilux not starting

I am not sure about this Hilux ( and Focus) but a lot of cars need a minimum RPM at starting. So there is a minimum speed the startmotor has to turn around the engine. If this is set at 750RPM for example it will not start when it cranks 749RPM. But for us sounds that the same. A new battery is most...

Re: hilux wan't drive straight

No the rope methode is not accurate, but the results of this hitec-laser-beamed tool from Toyota give me bad results too :frustrated: It will not be the first time I use the rope methode with good results.

Re: hilux wan't drive straight

Absolutely right: no adjustmentpoints. If I had changed out the part, I would not check the allignment at all. Only if there should be a problem afterwards.
