diesel rattle in D4D Prado

[Brad_kosij Member Find all posts View Profile Close Brad_kosij]

Ok, so I have it booked in at west end diesel service in syd, approx $3000 for Denso injectors (brand new not reco) they told me they are the same as the Toyota ones without the Toyota badge, so im alot happier paying that then a total cost of 4500 to me that Toyota wanted.

one with decent scan tool or programmer and set injector codes to ecu - Its pretty easy stuff !

Current pricing on injector kit (wich includes new pipes) is approx $1852 shipped to your door

Ahhh those damn dealer warranties, not worth the paper they are printed on IMHO

Thanks for the info, do you think it's safe to drive 120kms to get them done or is it something i should trailer it to?

I recently bought a set of injectors and injector pipes from RickNZ and have just fitted them myself. I was able to enter in the injector compensation codes to the ECU with techstream and I can now report its using a lot less fuel - looking likely it will be around 10L/100k rather than 12.5-13L/100k.

A big thanks to RickNZ for sourcing these and taking the time to help out fellow PP'ers. Also big thanks to John (Roo) who I had a good chat to before doing the job.

While I was in there doing the job, I decided to clean up the EGR and also do a valve clearnace check and also replaced the battery with a new d27f Optima.

Old Injectors:
Inj. 1 feedback: 2.8
Inj. 2 feedback: 0.3
Inj. 3 feedback -4.3
Inj. 4 feedback: 1.0

New Injectors:
Inj. 1 feedback: 0.0
Inj. 2 feedback: 0.0
Inj. 3 feedback -1.1
Inj. 4 feedback: 0.9


Valve Clearances:
Cylinder 1 - Exhaust Bottom: 0.35mm, Exhaust Top: 0.35mm
Cylinder 1 - Intake Bottom: 0.23mm, Intake Top: 0.25mm
Cylinder 2 - Exhaust Bottom: 0.35mm, Exhaust Top: 0.35mm
Cylinder 2 - Intake Bottom: 0.20mm, Intake Top: 0.25mm
Cylinder 3 - Exhaust Bottom: 0.35mm, Exhaust Top: 0.35mm
Cylinder 3 - Intake Bottom: 0.23mm, Intake Top: 0.20mm
Cylinder 4 - Exhaust Bottom: 0.35mm, Exhaust Top: 0.35mm
Cylinder 4 - Intake Bottom: 0.20mm, Intake Top: 0.23mm

Although my old injectors were not rattling, I do notice that it does idle quieter.
I had no difficulties in replacing the injectors at home in the garage, and I am by no means a mechanic.

Oh, and thanks to Toyota for leaving a injector nozzle seal holder under the valve cover I suspect the last time they replaced the nozzle sheets. I might return it to them as I'm sure the poor old apprentice is still looking for it..


Cheers,
Jase

Considering that I have gone through the $13K job myself, I'd trailer that puppy.

BTW, I'm running Bailey's Injectors - and she sounds like a petrol! For $1100 ($1700 - sending your old injectors)

Rick NZ, any idea how long your injectors+pipes will be on sale for?

I'm guessing the kit has everything that's needed and the only thing left to purchase is the engine cover gasket?

I'm in a situation where my worst injector feedback value was -1.6 so still bit to go (car has 100k kms) but not sure whether to pre-purchase it?

I asked Toyota NZ over a month ago and there response was " until further notice"

It's been offered now for over 3 months, my guess is that it will probably run out by the end of the year

Was told by Toyota
1 -2.9
2,3 they couldn't tell me what they were
4 +2.9

They were the values i asked Toyota for

[peril Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close peril]

+3.0 to -3.0 are the MAX.

Are they stupid? They can tell you what 1 & 4 were but not the other 2? The bloody diagnostic machine reads all four at once.

Yep something fishy there.. unless they didnt log the results and was trying to recall it from memory. Either way piss poor and Id be making a vist to their service centre again, especially if you made a special request to have them read.

Your correct kit has everything you need to replace the injectors
I can supply the valve cover gasket also if needed

Kit has 4x new DLC #316 injectors
seating wahers and injector o'rings
4x new fuel delivery pipes
5x leak off line washers

Yeh it went there got the check and all i was told was there stuffed, we asked for the values and was told they will call me back about it and was told that above.

I did say why don't you have the other two and they said it didn't log them but they were just out of spec..

But any way ill send it to west end diesel and ask them to do the test and ill let you know if Toyota are full of shi# and what they say the values are.

Yeh that's it, I have asked for a diagnostic report before and after from west end diesel and they are meant to be a specialist so will see but i hope they are good at what they do as they at least sound like they know what they are doing and arnt trying to rip me off unlike Toyota.
