Hey guys, I have a 2014 150 with 147 000km. Had the intakes cleaned and catch can fitted at 137 K when I had a leaking common rail pipe. Replaced that and on Saturday it developed a miss and is blowing smoke. No engine lights or any noise, just smoke and a miss.
Mechanic said an injector had gone and replaced them but now there is also a hole in a piston. Mechanic is looking at 2nd hand Hiace motor (reckons they are better than Prado motor?) or rebuild? Do they even go in? I can get a late model (2018) and you have to change over the timing chain cover. Has anyone here done this??
What's the best way to go? Obviously depends on cost but I am thinking rebuild is better than maybe someone else's problem. Is this anything to do with the dpf problem?
