Flat Spot at around 2400 RPM

Only city driving has suffered IMO, open road as per before.

yeah, which makes sense, it just makes it hang around in 4th and drop down to fourth more often.

Early days in my testing of S mode but I reckon it holds 4th a little less particularly under acceleration. I have found that 5th will not be selected in 95% of cases at speeds under 60km/hr irraspective of D of S mode.

As a result I aslo reckon there may be a fuel saving if S mode is used in city driving (no auto engine breaking of course). It's a bit hard for me as my wife refuses to use S but I reckon I could be on to something.

Riv,
Thanks for the PM the other day. Toyota did the upgrade and now works a treat. Fuel economy hasnt changed.

Cheers

Peter

G'day Gents, just spent the past 30 mins reading through your posts. Great info and discussions... general people making a difference and solving problems. On the problem solving, could someone please send me the TSN/TSB number required to have this flat spot resolved through a dealer. Much appreciation

I'd also like the tsbno. Is there a reason why it can't be posted?

Riv,

thanks for the TSB. i've had mine updated thursday together with the 12mth service and took it for a drive Sunday. no more hesitation now. i drove only on D. i started with 14ltr /100, after the drive (approx. 200 kms) it returned 10.2ltrs / 100. this is from the trip computer. perhaps the service has something to do with the improved economy. guess i'll have to run it at least a tank full and calculate again.

cheers,

Bert

Hi guys,

Could I please have the TSB number as I've got my Prado booked in tomorrow for new mudflaps and might as well get them to update the auto box at the same time.

Many thanks,

VXWesty

I'd be surprised if the update was not done ex factory. Same as the undersize mudflaps which are now fixed on all new shipments.

So just drive and enjoy the new car, you'll pick up the hesitation if it exists fairly easily.

Just been for a few test drives in a 2nd hand march 2011 150, I don't think there was any hesitation - what's the easiest test?
The only thing I noticed that it loves to drop to 1500rpm @ 80km/h.....not sure which gear that is must be 5th?

Anyway, it seems a very low rpm & you get the feeling that its labouring just a bit....

Can Toyota check if a particular car has had a TSB applied?

Cheers

"We so far so good" On delivery I had asked the dealer about the hesitation issue no one had heared about it, the answer was if there is any problems tell the mechanics on the 1000km check and they will look up this issue, Anyway completley different drive experience than my 120 series, taking a bit to get use to the revs dropping right back and 5th being used alot, this is where I expect the good full ecconomy comes from, yes there is a little labouring here and there but all something to get used to, it very quiet for a diesel wife has no problems going from petrol top diesel, finally now its in the garage I'm getting used to the shape.

Gents,

I would appreciate if someone would kindly share the TSB details with me so I can chase my local dealer also, I need to hit them again about the mudflap issue also.

Cheers
