I just bought a used Prado GX 4 cylinders, manual transmission, standard not turbo. Diesel engine. This Prado was made in 2004 and has 149000 km run so far.
I have three issues that I need help with:
1. The engine makes noise whenever I try to speed up and keeps noisy till I return the clutch to neutral. The engine is strong and seem to have no problem and has never been opned or rebuilt
2. A heavy white smoke is produced from the engine. I opened the oil place in the engine and the same white smoke comes out. I changed oil (10000K), but it is still the same
Please advise if this to some extent is abnomal and what should I do to solve this problem.
3. What is the normal drive on the pavement. the clutch should be H4, H2 or L4. Please help
Please let me know if you have experienced similar symptoms and thank you so much for support.
