Hilux 4x4 Forum

Dis nie goeie nuus nie. Ek weet nie te veel meganies nie, so het net herhaal wat hulle vir my gese het.
Sal die ou bietjie bel en uitvind presies waar hy gewerk het.

Update 4 : Die Lux hardlopp weer! :thumbup: Volgens die workshop was die Hydraulic Lifters vuil / verstop met ou olie. Hulle is uitgehaal en skoon gemaak. Sover nog net so 50 Km gery, maar sy start 100%, voel of daar bietjie meer woema is as jy wegtrek en daar is nou amper niks rook as jy normaal ry...

Die battery is splinternuut - het dit in Augustus gekoop. Glowplugs is getoets - alles 100% (so se die auto electrician) Op die stadium start die lux glad nie, maar die glowplugs kom aan en gaan af op die dash. Ek sal bly wees as dit net n draad is - dit klink heelwat makliker en goedkoper as kompre...

Update 3. Auto electrician het nou alles gecheck. Al wat oorbly is n compression test.
Is dit iets wat ek self kan doen? As nie, wat behoort n ou te betaal vir som iets en wie stel julle voor in Centurion?

Dankie

Ek dink ook die probleem kan dalk kompressie wees. As die lux start hardloop die engin, maar sodra jy wegtrek val die revs en daar is geen krag nie. Het nuwe injectors laat insit so 6 maande terug.
Sal alles check soos hier voorgestel - hopelik het ek haar terug voor die naweek.

Update 2. Saterdag oggend gestart - so 15km gery toe stall die bakkie. Glow plugs kom aan, maar as jy sleutel draai vat-vat die engin en gaan dan weer dood, met n klomp swart rook wat by die exhaust uitkom. Jy kan ook die diesel baie duidelik ruik. Op die rollback na n auto electrician in Botha laan...

Net n update. Het (vinning) na die negatiewe kabel gekyk en niks fout gesien nie. Gister was daar geen probleme met reverse nie - het 100% gery. MAAR, vanoggend het dit weer gebeur, maar ook as ek vorentoe ry. Hulle moes my sleep die laaste 100 meter werk toe. Weet enige iemand of daar n elektriese ...

Ek sien daar is redelik baie korrossie opgebou op die negatiewe terminaal. Die battery is splinternuut en n maand terug ingesit. Moontlik is daar n earth short op die negative kabel.

Sal almal op hoogte hou.

Dankie manne - ek sal kyk en laat weet. Dit maak sin. Die engine het baie warm geword toe die belt pap geraak het, die onderste waterpyp het selfs afgeskiet van die radiator af. Natuurlik het die engin alle kompressie ook verloor. Daar is nou al vir n maand of so n definitiewe short iewers op die ba...

not sure where you are, but try these guys in Centurion http://www.autobooks.co.za/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

OK - she "stalls" when in reverse.

Its the 5L engine - 3 liter Diesel 4x4 1999 model.

Hi all - as always this is my first stop for some mechanical info - hope somebody can help. Long story short the bolt that holds the pulley tensioner for my fan belt came loose and caused me to break down as the fan stopped spinning. There was lots and lots of smoke from the exhaust when this happen...

Howdy all - haven't visited for a while. Can somebody please explain to me as simply as possible the differnece between the following, and when / where you would use it. (I have a Hilux D/Cab 4x4 3.0 Diesel - the 5L engin) 1\Low Range 2\High Range 3\Diff Lock 4\Locks on the front wheel hubs ( should...

This was the 3000D. The engine was still going strong, but overheating, and a snapped timing belt caused the chaos. I think just to many things wrong at the same time. Maybe the previous owner(s) also abused it.

Busted radiator is what caused the overheating in the first place, come to think of it, must have been when that truck reversed into me about a year ago that caused a crack or something....

Raait, miskien moet ek maar n update hier gee aangesien iemand anders dalk dieselfde probleem kry. As julle kyk, was die laaste post 14 Januarie - en op 14 Augustus het ek my bakkie teruggekry - lekker 7 maande sonder my trok! Anyway, R40 000 later, dit is wat gebeur het. Na vele workshops en mense ...

Dankie Danelle, of moet ek se Mark. Wie ookal, ek sal dit probeer - sy hey ewe skielik gestart vanoggend, so ek ry maar en hoop sy hou.

Thank you Hoppy - just called him and will get it on Friday. Now how to fit the thing, is it easy, just screw off, or is it a major operation?

I am no mechanic, but the motor overheated and cylinder head and sub-assembly needed to be replaced, plus about 100 other parts coming to R40 000.00 I had 177 000 on the clock, so once again I had bad luck with my choice of cars. So, is there a cheaper way to sort out this starter, can you recon it....

Turns out it's the starter - R5313.00 for a starter!

Yo! Hope somebody can give me an answer here. I have a Hilux 4x4 3.0L diesel. Replaced the whole engin (overheated) for R40 000, and it went good for the first week. This weekend the problem began, it would not start. Replaced the battery and it started! Tried Monday morning - dead! Tried last night...

Hi all, seems I only use this forum when something goes wrong with the bakkie, so any help would be appreciated. I have a 3.0 Diesel 4x4 raider double cab. Driving slowly on the highway this morning, nothing serious. Suddenly heard like a snapping noise, and the engine died. Tried to restart it, and...

Hi Caskru, did check pads, shoes etc when I replaced the front 2 tyres. The vibration kicks back on the pedal itself. Could it be air in the brakelines? The rear diff still has oil in it, couldjust have been some excess.

Hi all, can anybody suggest a good way to start getting involved in 4x4 driving - is the best way to join a club? I would however need some training first, does Toyota do 4x4 days etc. to get to know the vehicle and the do's and dont's. I am in Centurion, so anywhere close by would be great. Thank you

Hi guys, got some good feedback from this forum previously, so thought I'd give it another shot. I have a 2000 model Hilux D/Cab 3.0 Diesel 4x4. Had the rear diff replaced about a month ago,and there was oil leaking ffrom it or a while, but this seems to have stopped. I also replaced both front tyre...

Weer terug. OK, olie van die diff gedrain en weer terug gegooi - daar is geen metaal stukkies of enige iets anders in die olie nie. Bakkie in reverse, eerste en tweeded rat gery, en geen probleeme nie. Geen geraas en / of ander iets wat probleme aandui nie. Nou wel nie ver of vinnig gery nie, maar a...

Hi guys, as I am new to the forum, I am not sure what this get together means. Can anybody with a Hilux join, or is it a closed event? and what does it cost? is it like a 4x4 trip, or just a get together to meet each other?

Thank you
Vossie

OK - bakkie is terug by die huis Vrydag. Dit lyk na die imported diff, daar is geen skroewe aan die agterkant nie, behlawe vir n groot bout wat lyk na n drainige plug. Interresant ding is, die bakkie ry. Toe ons hom aflaai van die roll-back het die manne hom ingery in die driveway, en daar was geen ...

Hi all, thank you for the help so far. Getting my Hilux back Friday, but still needs to get the diff done. I need to remove it and take it in to the workshop for the quote and work needed. Does anybody know how difficult this is to remove? Maybe a workshop manual will be helpfull, where can I buy on...

Hi there, and thank you for the advice! I have already been on the phone with them and awaiting some answers. The fact that you used then and can comment on their service also helps a lot. Will keep on updating here as soon as we know the damage and costs.

OK - klink maar grieks vir my op hierdie stadium. Ek sal die bakkie Vrydag terug he by die huis, ek gebruik maar n roll back, weet nie of hy getou kan word nie. Ek sal dan kyk watter diff dit is en terug post hier laat ons kan sien wat julle voorstel vir die volgende stap

Morning all, I am new to this forum, hopefully somebody can help. I drive a 2000 Hilux D/Cab 4x4 3.0 Diesel. Recently the prop shaft snapped on the higway, and when taking it in for repairs, was told the diff also went, and I need to replace that. I am not very clued up when it comes to the mechanic...
