Hi Guys
Interested to hear if anyone else has expereinced an infrequent flatspot with their 150 TD. Mine seems to be dropping power for a second or so at around 55-60km when under load (e.g. up a slight hill) but not in any repeatable pattern. Not only is this annoying but at times dangerous.
I've done around 1800km in it now but this has been happening since new. This seems to be getting a lot more frequent (or at leat noticable) now though. At the 1000km service Toyota claimed they couldn't find any issues on the diagnostics so I took the service manager for a ride. Murhys law - no issue with him in the car. As normal, it started again as soon as I drove out of the dealership. Shes going back in this week for as long as it takes to fix. I really dont want it back the way it is - particularly for a $70k+ new vehicle that carries 2 young kids. A very dissapointing start to a new car experience - makes me wish I'd kept the old 80 Series TD - never missed a beat no matter how hard I tried to kill it!
Anyone else seen this issue or similar?
