Hi fellow Prado owners I need your help.
I gave my Prado a quick pressure wash under the bonnet a quick tidy up and shortly after it started making a whining noise from around 1500RPM - 2000RPM which you can clearly hear when driving or if you park and rev the engine it drives fine no issues there but sounds like it has a supercharger fitted.
I had it serviced at Toyota and they changed the serperntine belt which made no difference. Then Toyota diagnosed it as a faulty power steering pump and charged me $1600.00 for a new pump to be fitted but when I picked it up no change to the sound.
If anyone has experienced this type of problem I would really appreciate your help as all Toyota want to do is keep replacing parts which is not fixing the problem.
Regards,
Jiro
