I am a newbie to this site. Its a damn good source of information. Thanks to all members!
Bought a 2007 Prado over 12 months ago (Model KDJ120R fitted with 1KD-FTV engine). (Wish I had bought one earlier.)
Its done over 180kms and injectors/intake was recon'd at 150kms. A few weeks ago I noticed the car's lack of torque. It was more obvious when towing the boat (1.2T)
I went through the intake over the weekend and cleaned it all out. It was pretty ugly in there, so I thought this fixed the problem. Now after running the car today, there is little change.
Further diagnosis, the PIM sensor does not change reading (~80kPa) while idle or driving?? Pulling it out and giving it a good blow, will register 104kPa, so assume the sensor is ok. (lines are all clear.)
I can only guess the turbo is not boosting the air pressure. I also assume it is the source of the oil leaking into the intake?
It is also possible the oil is coming from the PCV, but I dont imagine much (unless a BIG problem with compression leakage?)
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Does anyone know a reliable mechanic in Sydney (near inner west?) that can help confirm/repair or otherwise help diagnose?
My guess is I am up for a turbo replacement AND possibly further investigation for the oil leak source and blocking up the intake manifold/throttle body. A compression check may help. Any other ideas?
