    [QUOTE=digys;568577]Hi Cuda,

    I just noticed a plume of white smoke when taking off at the lights this morning on the way to work. Lasted for about 5 seconds as i was accelerating up the hill. drove for another 15 mins but couldnt get it to happen again. planted the accelerator a few times and no smoke. should i monitor or contat toyota right away. did you notice the smoke several tikes in yours? i have a 2016 2.8 vx with 25000ks on the clock.[/QUOTE

    After the first time noticing the white smoke I contacted Toyota. Its now happened twice since. Only happens during a burn and usually taking off from the lights. Still awaiting new DPF was told it would be about a month and is ok to drive until then.

      Both our 2.8 Hiluxs at work did their DPFs at the same time, one has 20k and runs for 40mins on the highway every day, and the other is a suburb run for 30mins and has done 10k - both replaced under warranty.

        So i took my car to the Toyota dealer today. They ran a diagnosis amd cleaned the dpf housing r&r etc. They said if it blows smoke again bring it back for a dpf replacement. Then they proceeded to show me a quote for $2400 for parts. I laughed and said Toyota will pay for that the car is at 1 yr and 26000km.. After consulting with the service manager they said yes we will cover it. But i still had to pay a diognosis fee of $66. This cant be right.
        Havent had any smoke so far...

          Hey digys, that sounds wrong to me......you took it in as it was exhibiting a fault condition (white smoke). They run diagnostics and clean the dpf. One can assume this was done to correct the fault. IMO they should not be charging you for the diagnostics as this is part of a warranty repair. I have never been charged for diagnostics by my dealer even when I have asked them to check the injector values at a service. Time to ask for a refund and look for another dealership.

            I second that. No charge while under warranty.

              Thanks Riv. I've already contacted Toyota guest experience who will contact the dealer. I will definately push to have that refunded. How will the dpf replacement work if i go to another who have no history of the car. Anybody know of any reputable dealerships in Sydney

                So after contacting Toyota guest experience about the diagnostics charge i got a phone call from the dealership appologising about the inconvenience. They will refund the diogbostics charge.

                      Keep it for resale later. Will be worth a bit later down the track.

                        My will be down as soon as warranty expires. Hope there will be demands for second hand DPF then. How is the car going without ?

                            UPDATE

                            Had the DPF replaced on Thursday and used the vehicle this weekend towing a Jayco 16.49-3 which fully loaded comes in just under 2T. Drove down to the Waroona Dam and back and managed 13.5l combined. So far vehicle seems a little more responsive and fuel consumption seems lower. Incidentally the DPF did a burn at approximately 200km and seemed to use less fuel than normal. Will monitor and give more info over the next few thousand.

                            Thanks
                            Doug

                              I am hoping mine might fall off as well, though try as I might I cannot find a suitable replacement! Live in the NT and cannot afford to have a DPF failure causing limp mode in the middle of nowhere!

                              Thoughts?

                                Another unlucky owner of Prado 2.8DT (Nov 2015 Build), car has done 30000KM, no mod, no tow, ECM updates (Recall Code GGG38) had done back to June 2017, mix 40/60 highway and city driving. Noticed from last week, when I drove off T junction, I saw white smoke from side mirror when PDF burn was in process, as the smoke wasn’t much so I thought it could be illusion. Until today, when I drove off from the traffic lights I saw huge cloud white smoke from side mirror and I now 110% confirm this, I’m casualty number X of Prado DPF I will talk to Toyota on Monday and book my car in for DPF checkup. Will keep you guys updated.
