  • New Prado - engine issues ?

    Hi all,

    I'm looking to buy a brand new Prado GXL turbo-diesel auto.
    Are the issues I've been reading about with injectors etc still occurring or are they ironed out now ?

    Thanks,
    Paul

    hi paul,

    no issues with mine after 6months and 15ks, as should be expected.

    there are a lot more members here with more experience than me so i'm guessing you've been inundated with pm's from the friendly and helpful peeps here given I'm the first one replying to your post.

    cheers
    drew

      Great question, I'm looking for that answer too.


      If only we could get a sneak peek at a few pages of Pradopoint.com 2018 to see...


      For what it is worth (ie nothing) my 2014 D4D hasn't blown up yet.

        Why not just buy the petrol that has more power and Toyota reliability?

        (Thats not having a go but a serious question. Have you done the long term costings on both?)

          Have heard that the fuel consumption of the petrol engine is horrendous ?

                Haha, you think Toyota are going to cover the injector issues?... Ask the people that have had the issue if Toyota paid for the repairs.
                If/when we replace our 95 series petrol, I definitely won't be looking at a D4D.

                    Under warranty, yes. However, a lot of these failures have occurred outside of warranty. If you are buying new, a factory extended warranty is highly recommended.

                        Yes but you will need factory EXTENDED warranty for longer coverage.

                            Extended warranty takes it out to 6 years. Mine died 3 months before the end of the extended warranty period. Total bill just short of $21k they covered the total cost.

                              It is up for negotiation and you need to make sure it is the factory extended warranty.
