at least that's great service from the dealer, the probably never knew it was in an accident either,

Luckily mine is all good now, no hassles since they replaced all brakes

4tuna

Pathetic service can't believe you had to go through such extreme measures in order to get the service you were supposed to get! Unfortunatly that's the way secondhand car dealers opperate I personally will never use that dealership again, and i have still 4 months of my six month grace period of r...

okay so an update, i had it with the service and requested for a refund, i was asked to come in a have meeting with the Sales Manager, he asked if he can try get this sorted properly once and for all, I said final chance, the vehicle went back last week, they sent it to the agents, front disks pads,...

They replaces these as well

4tuna

Brian, i will do just that, i have logged a case already with the NCC they say it takes three weeks or so before they will respond, if i have any more problems, ill drive to the dealership and park it there and demand a refund,

I am not going to loose out in 1/4 of a million RAND vehicle,

4tuna

The manager of the dealership can't tell me exactly what they fixed so i called the mechanic, which can't find the job card to tell me what they fixed on the brakes either, it does feel better but will drive it daily now if i do experience the same problem, it will go back and will go back for good.

4tuna

okay just an update i have the car back, seemed okay from the dealer, but will see on my way home what it feels like...

4tuna

Hi I never got it from Toyota but still a reputable dealer, I have not mention to them about the CPA but have gone directly to the NCC, they asked me to email full details my details and the dealership, they will review the case and contact the dealer,I am getting the car back tomorrow, and I am gng...

4tuna

okay she's back in lets see what are the results once again, i have also emailed the NCC, they say i have grounds for a refund, Keep us posted me thinks they did not replace the discs with new ones will do just a bit upset with the quality of after sales service again, also the fuel leak they say t...

4tuna

almost 180k

4tuna

that does sound like it, will demand new disks then, thank you

4tuna

it doesn't sound like ABS, they said the disks are new, but we know what dealerships are like,

I will return it tomorrow and see what they say

4tuna

Hi all so my Tuna that i just bought has been back to the dealer twice so far, three days this week and still not right, Has anyone had this problem before, when braking on hot disks, slow braking, something gives a teribble vibration and almost like a grinding sound, you can feel it on the pedal an...

4tuna

so a quick update, filled my tuna, over a grand later, loaded her 5 people and a loaded trailor, i made Ballito no problem and drove most of the time there with the same fuel, i managed to get her to 7.0l/km there and back...

I am quite impressed,

4tuna

Thanks guys for all the answers,

Was just a thought, will keep it as is, :)

4tuna

Hi Jaco, i am not sure i just cleaned mine

4tuna

Hi Gents,

Trust you are all well on this hot monday morning,

My question today is if i remove the current fan, and replace it with an electrical fan, will this help a bit with the consumption?

Or will it overheat?

4tuna

Just a quick update, i am on 6.5km/l :) slow progress,

4tuna

Hi all so i took the MAF sensor out and it was quite dirty, i gave it a couple of squirts using an electrical spray, stuck it back in, my ave consumption went up from 5.9 to 6.4 within 100ks of driving, will let you know if it goes up anymore,

I am getting happier by ea .1 :)

Thanks for the tip :)

hi is Spectator on here?

4tuna

Might be your MAF sensor that is dirty....have seen a couple of people have a similar issues on the 4.0 V6 but they also complain about power being down. You can apparently clean it with surgical spirits but I'm not sure how effective this might be. On my Gti I could log the airflow that the MAF re...

Tragic... One would think that he would make sure before offering his help...I saw a picture of your Tuna on another post. See you had some mods done. Bumper, bigger tires etc. those all make a difference in consumption. Looks like you will have to make peace with the fact that your fuel bill is go...

4tuna

no outcome, the service manager thought i had a diesel, But when i started, he said that's pretty much what my consumption is like, He also checked all that i have are branches and no aftemarket chip(should i get one, will it help?) if i change the fan to an electric one won't that make a bit of a d...

I was told the same...by more than one person..."No chip no tune"...According to one mechanic though your computer's setting may change over the years. I had mine reset to factory settings...that made quite a difference in consumption and it even felt a bit more lively. Did not have it on...

Thanks for the help, i am taking it for a dyno, will ask them

4tuna

4tuna

what i have also noticed is, it's showing i have a range of like 15ks but my fuel gauge is showing just over quarter,

I think i should fill up and see,

Will a dyna help, is it good idea?

Hi all

I am extremely new here, also new to the Toyota world,

I have just recently sold my Nissan HB, and bought a 4.0l V6 Tuna Auto, what a great piece of machinery,

I find it quite heavy on the juice but so was my 3.3 V6 HB,
