Re: Hilux 2.4d 4x4 Rev counter buggering around

What do you think, poor earth or bad co...

The higher the profile the softer is your ride on tar and gravel as well.

Ek sou dink jy moet dalk die turbo laat recon. dit kan sy seels wees wat lek en alles vol olie maak.

Re: help! Hilux 1996 Error signals
Check the voltage regulator plug. Mine did the same and the plug came loose. Regulator can also be faulty.

Re: inter cooler for 2.5 hilux
Misfire when cold can also be a glowplug not working, have them checked. You can also put injector cleaner on a full tank and drive till empty.

Re: Catalytic Converter removal 3.0 d4d 2010 model
I am driving a 2005 model Volvo S40 2.0 diesel and removed the DPF just after warranty expired, say about 100 000 kms it has 360 000 kms on clock now with no problems. Turbo is spooling up faster. You can expect a fuel saving of 5 to 10 %. It is very tempting to make use of the earlier power boost f...

Re: Pressure in bottle kz-te when cold
If you replace the cap you can just as well replace the thermostat as well. Always good to replace it as it is a very important part of your cooling system.

Re: 2006 Hilux 4x4 D. Air con keeps stopping on cold.
If your engine temp goes above normal first off all replace your thermostat and check the viscous fan. A faulty thermostat can do a lot off damage to your engine. Taking to long to reach normal working temp and also causes engine to run to hot when its sticking in a semi open position.

Re: How to clean a radiator??
Wynn's do a good job. I would give it a second dose and drive for longer than just 12 kilos. Drive around so that the engine can heat up properly. You can drive for at least 100 kilos. Coke also do a good job. Fill radiator with coke and leave a in for at least 12 hours then flush a few times. Remov...

Miskien kan jy die sleeves net goed "hone" voor jy nuwe ringe opsit. Die head moet jy maar laat pressure test. Heads baie gevoelig vir hitte.

Re: diesel heater
Thanks for your input guys. I just had a conversation with a guy running a Hilux with a heater he manufactured himself. Fuel consuption down with 1 litre per 100km and better power as well. This guy is running around all day with the Toyota as it is his work truck loaded with up to 700kg.

Re: diesel heater
Thats correct Andy. Mine is always parked indoors, but outside temp go down to -6 C at times. The question is will there be any improvement in power and fuel consumption? I usually let it idle for few minutes to heat up a little bit before driving.

I fitted one of those on my Hilux and on short run i do experience some improvement in performance. Found mine at a scrap yard. I would like to hear what other guys have to say about this. You...

diesel heater
Hi
I need some advice. What are the pro's and con's of installing a inline heater to heat diesel before it enters the filter and injection system. This is on a 2.4d engine. I saw a few older Isuzus with inline heaters.
