DPF - Fifth Injector Clean 1GD FTV 2.8 diesel

Hi all,

I aim going to clean the fifth injector (as it seems to be recommend) and there are good videos online to show the procedure. Can anyone tell me the torque settings for the bolts that clamp the injector bracket to the main housing and the three nuts/bolts that hold the complete unit onto the exhaust assembly? I can't find that info anywhere... Thank you!

Why? I'd leave it alone. The 5th injector and its housing is covered by Toyota's 10-year DPF warranty on the 2.8 litre motor. If it fails, the whole lot will be replaced, assuming that the Prado wasn't supplied new with the upgraded DPF.

I would agree completely if I lived in Aus! I am in Spain and there is no 10 year warranty... lots of Prado's thou.

Many thanks for the information and apologies for the late reply. I have just removed it as I had the DPF full light. The 5th injector was 100% blocked, so I will now clean it annually as it's a simple job to do.
