Hi all,
I am the owner of a Aug 2015 build Prado GXL 2.8 which has been a great car for us and gave us a trouble free 16k awesome trip to from Melb to the Kimberley (including the Gibb) and back via the Nullarbor.
Fuel consumption is the only thing that has been disappointing at 12.5lit/100 (not including above trip) given the official figure is about 8lit/100 combined. I know obtaining 8 is not realistic in the real world however a figure closer to 10 - 10.5 lit/100 would been more in line with my expectation.
I signed up to my Toyota a few days ago and saw there was an outstanding recall listed for my vehicle. Recall is described as a inspect calibration id of ecm, reprogram ecm and replace ecm if reprogram fail. Having called the dealer to include this on my service in two days time the tech said he has just seen the official paperwork on the ecu reprogram. The tech also said this was related to the DPF which from reading the very informative and helpful posts on this forum and other sources has been a problem for some owners.
Has anyone had the ECM reprogrammed previously, aside from the latest recall, and what were (if any) the results??
Thanks
