  • 2014 prado 150 v4 poor power and mpg

    Hi , im in Yemen and just bought a 2014 prado v4 automatic 2.7L with 128k kilometers on it but engine performance is bad. Very weak it can barely go up mountain roads or sometimes in reverse its just to weak and loud. I changed plugs , fuel filter , air filter and still weak. No engine lights. I notice its loud and almost like an exhaust leak somewhere. Im afraid its low compression or major engine or trans issue. Just very weak engine performance

    Hi there, I felt your concerns on the year 2020 TX-L, 2.7L petrol variant, I myself is driving one of them in Singapore, with 70k on the ODO, the car does my overlanding trip with relative ease, but the engine is needs to be worked hard(above 3000rpm to 4500rpm) to really haul itself up twisty mountain roads in Thailand or Malaysia with my roof top tent and all that fuel and water inside and it does transmit some induction noise into the cabin via the air box(Right hand drive vehicle).

    I would add a throttle booster controller (EVC or iDrive) to increase the throttle response, as I notice the throttle is pretty laggy even after switching off the ECO mode. I would add a bottle of REDLINE OIL SI-1 COMPLETE FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER every 10k km, that has seen marked improvement to the engine.

    Currently I`m on 5W20 REDLINE engine oil, and fuel consumption is pretty decent with it returning over 740km per tankful of 92RON petrol, and noticed a slight increase power using my butt O meter, lol

    For what is worth, compression test will only tell the wear and tear in the cylinder/rings, I would suggest a UOA (Used Oil Analysis) test on your oil to better understand what`s wrong, or maybe we are really expecting too much from the 2.7L.

    I`ve come to just take it easy on the overtaking and spirited driving, or else the fuel consumption take a hit pretty badly.
