Roo,
I totally agree - but it would be nice if there was at least a "check engine" light if an injector goes out of range - or at least some indication that there is something amiss with the injectors via the ECM.[FONT=Century Gothic][B][SIZE=4][URL="http://www.pradopoint.com.au/showthread.php?36057-Ryback-s-Flinders-Red-120"][COLOR="#B22222"]'04 120 Petrol Flinders Red GXL[/URL][/COLOR][/B][/FONT][/SIZE]

Other brands have a limp home mode when things don't work properly to help minimize engine damage. So, Roo, refresh my memory, are Toyota supposed to check the injector seals every 40,000km? Is this in the service schedule? It certainly isn't in the owners service guide.Dave

Dave the Toyota procedure for checking valve clearances involves pulling the injectors, thus the seats are changed.My 150 build - http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread.php?27423-A-Random-approach-to-a-Bluestorm-150-GXL-D4D-automatic

Toyota announced a recall today for several models. One involved the hybrid Lexus where a fault causes the engine to stop completely. They reckon it affected a couple of thousand cars. So, if they can recall the Lexus for this, then why not recall the D4Ds to check for injector and seal issues that similarly could cause the engine to stop? I suspect because the Lexus is more expensive and driven by more important people, Toyota wants to look after them.Dave

Not to split hairs - but have a quick Google on D4D failures around the world, we (Australia) seem to have the higher percentage. Euro and SA Toyota dealers were doing the proper 80k KM service, not just listening....[FONT=Century Gothic][B][SIZE=4][URL="http://www.pradopoint.com.au/showthread.php?36057-Ryback-s-Flinders-Red-120"][COLOR="#B22222"]'04 120 Petrol Flinders Red GXL[/URL][/COLOR][/B][/FONT][/SIZE]

We r still deciding whether to go a Prado or not and if so which one. It really doesn't seem worth the risk with these kdj cars. If you buy one with all 4 injectors done how long should you get out of them? And is there anything at all that you can do to stop the problem? I know some are using extra fuel filters, some are checking oil screen ect ect. Scares the crap out of me, but the advantages with power and economy are nice. At what point does it just not become a good choice to go with these prados?
Is it a smarter choice to get an old kzj and chip and exhaust it go get power economy and a more reliable engine? Cheers for looking and responding positively

No dramas Roo..I've already installed a Beaudesert exhaust, best money I ever spent. I may never get a chip but the one above is the only one I'd ever get for the feature I mentioned. A chip sounds not great in a D4D..pleased I fell into the 1KZ brigade...Cheers C.[SIZE=1]03 TD 120 Grande, L&R weathershields, f&r deflectors, Sov bar Amts rad b.pl, TJM front B.P, Uniden UH7760NB Kaymar LED worklight, ARB 47l, lifestyle rack & Milford C.
