Anyone know what temps the 200 series get at the EGT? Maybe the 2.8l runs cooler?
Just to add to this I saw a Subaru forrester diesel pumping white smoke everytime it accelerated. So maybe other mnaufactures are encountering the issues Toyota are having. Isuzu now have a DPF so will be interesting to see if they start seeing issues as well.2018 150 Series Crystal Pearl Prado VX 2.8l. 2 inch King springs and Bilstein shocks, Airtek TJM snorkel.

I wonder if any of you read other Toyota forums? here are a couple of very recent posts:
"Toyota had the Hilux last week and the 5th injector was blocked up. They thoroughly cleaned it at the last DPF replacement 20k away
apparently the Toyota 'temporary fix' is a can of Wurth DPF cleaner. Who would have thought?"
and this one from the Fortuner forum:
"Just an update with my replaced DPF. I've had it replaced as the cloud of smoke I left at the traffic lights was out of control... like ridiculous.
I was happy for the first little while but the white/blue smoke kept building back up and now about a year later I'm back in the same boat.
Currently the regen takes about 450km to complete, this is including highway driving in 5th gear etc.
I have cars reversing at the traffic lights when this bad boy starts smokin up.
The best was going through a drive through... it's embarrassing to say the least.
I've already contacted Toyota, and they said they'll do a manual burn off, we've done this last time and it doesn't solve the problem."

I spoke with my dealership recently and they said Toyota will not pay for the 5th injector to be cleaned as they feel it is not the cause of the issue and dealerships should stop servicing it. It makes me laugh somewhat as what is the point of the 5th injector if its blocked...2018 150 Series Crystal Pearl Prado VX 2.8l. 2 inch King springs and Bilstein shocks, Airtek TJM snorkel.

the 1VD does run hotter than the 1GD they lowered the compression on the 1GD to lower the NOx output this also lowers exhaust temps
Reading about all the drama people are having and typical manufacture playing dumb / not addressing the issue really annoys me.
If you have a DPF issue and it does not get fixed contact the ACCC if enough people complain they will take action on your behalf and they they will have no choice but to tell people where they are at with fixing the problem
they may very well have fixed it already and are not saying anything to save a recall
our prado got looked at ( forced burn ) haven’t seen smoke since but there is soot in the tail pipe so I think it’s alreadt too late, I’m holding out and will go hard for a replacement next year hopefully by then they have it sorted

I am still looking to find a friendly owner here in the UK who will let me connect Techstream to see if I can notice any differences, the only one that I knew who had a Prado with the 2.8 engine has sold it although he didn't have any problems or even knew anything about having a DPF.
A guy on the Fortuner forum who has posted a "how to" with pictures about cleaning the 5th injector says that "they need cleaning every 15-20 Km" or they are likely to block, if this is the case it is ridiculous and there must be something wrong with the design?
Anyway it will be interesting to see what happens, if there really is a design issue with the system then this could cost Toyota a fortune to fix and their reputation for reliability would be diminished.

Noticed yesterday when i got home it was in the process of a burn, this morning I drove 45 mins mostly between 70-100kms/h
At the destination it was still in a burn procedure, 2 hours later off I went.
Trails of white clouds out the exhaust every tap of the accelerator for 10 mins
45 mins later stopped and it was no longer in burn mode
so that’s 1k after Toyota “ serviced “ it under warranty
I wonder what they will say this time

I can confirm 100% that there is no passive burn occurring when percentage decreases while a burn is not in progress. I recently completed a burn and drove for 50km and DPF was up to 78%. Turned the car off and left for overnight and car cold start in the morning DPF still at 78%. Started to drive and watched percentage full begin to fall. The motor wasnt even at temp and the EGT was only 276 deg. Proof no passive burn at all.2018 150 Series Crystal Pearl Prado VX 2.8l. 2 inch King springs and Bilstein shocks, Airtek TJM snorkel.

But still a lot that see high kms
In this day and age I could not see any benefit having a 1HD over 1VD
More power more torque a lot more tunability better fuel economy, longer oil change intervals and belive it or not a 1VD will do more kms as well given fuel quality is good, which in this day and age is not as much of a problem
I guess if you lived in the middle of nowhere and wanted something you could work on with just spanners the 1HD-FT ( non electric fuel injection ) maybe a little reassuring, that said the 1VD is not hard I work onLast edited by Rockhop; 03-06-2018, 10:47 AM.

Yes I have noticed the DPF% inexplicably dropping a few % both when on the highway and city driving on quite a few occasions.
I assume the ECU is reading a change across the DPF. What would be the cause?
I can now read the EGT and DPF Temp on my ScanGuage II.
So far I have watched one full Regen - the DPF Temp going up over 690degrees (that would melt aluminium). EGT was under 400degrees.
I'll see what goes when a partial drop in DPF% happens again.

However Wikipedia (which of course could be wrong) says this:
"Diesel particulate matter burns when temperatures above 600 degrees Celsius are attained. This temperature can be reduced to somewhere in the range of 350 to 450 degrees Celsius by use of a fuel borne catalyst. The actual temperature of soot burn-out will depend on the chemistry employed."
I think that there is a catalyst in front of our DPF but I don't understand what a "fuel borne" one is? Unless they are talking about adblue which our Euro 5 vehicles don't have.
I am very interested in this manual button theory, will there or wont there be one, and also if there really is another ECU update. If there is at least several of us are now monitoring present behaviour so we should be able to see what the "update" does. You can bet that Toyota dealers wont know!
